Ability Copy
Permanents whose static or triggered text copies an activated ability when you activate one, effectively giving each tap, mana, or loyalty-style activation a second resolution. Rings of Brighthearth copies any activated ability you activate, Illusionist's Bracers doubles activations of the equipped creature, Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient copies artifact activations, and Lithoform Engine copies activated or triggered abilities on demand. Strionic Resonator extends the same idea to triggered abilities. Distinct from activated.untap_ability, which reuses an ability by refreshing the source rather than duplicating the activation, and from activated.ability_cost_reducer, which makes activations cheaper instead of doubling their effect.
