Ability Points are obtained from enemies after they are defeated. Ability Points will give you the opportunity to chain various element types together. The more elements that are chained, the higher the Ability Point cost. You can create very high damage combos by spending a lot of Ability Points when there are elements of every type on your board. Save your Ability Points for tough enemies or Bosses. You will begin each level with about 5 Ability Points and earn more over time.
