If you have an ability with many levels that you want to fill in quickly, you can right click and select Auto Fill Levels.

For numerical fields:
Start From Level: Auto Fill begins filling this level and fills its way down to the last level.
Base Value: Value for Auto Fill's starting level
Previous Value Factor: Takes the current level's value and multiplies it by this number to get the next value
Level Factor: Adds (factor*level) to the value
Constant Factor: Adds (factor) to the value

For text-based fields like Tooltips:
Start From Level: Auto Fill begins filling this level and fills its way down to the last level.
Base Text: Text for Auto Fill's starting level
Replace With Level: This is a little more confusing. Autofill will search your Base Text (from left to right) for all instances of the number you enter in this box. It will treat all of those instances as the ability's level number and update the number as it fills the entries.

For some other fields like Targets Allowed, Auto Fill is available, but is nothing more than a rapid copy-paste. There are no numbers to "replace" with the ability level. Word of warning: the labels that appear are not always the same as the "base text". Air is air, Alive is alive, but Allied is allies and Enemy is enemies. I would recommend not touching the Base Text. Since the number should not appear anywhere in the Base Text, by simply clicking OK, Auto Fill will copy the values all the way down.


I hope that helps. It may take some messing around to get used to it. There might be some stuff I missed, since my base skill was Item Damage Bonus, but if you need help with any others, let me know.
