## 🎮 **How It Works:**

```javascript
// In GameScene.js
this.hybridAbilitySystem = new HybridAbilitySystem(this);

// Player presses Q
→ Energy check (25 energy available?)
→ Cooldown check (not on cooldown?)
→ Execute ability
→ Find all zombies in 150px range
→ Heal each zombie +30 HP
→ Show green particles + floating text
→ Start 8s cooldown
→ Consume 25 energy
→ Energy regenerates automatically
```

---

## 🔗 **Integration:**

### **With ZombieSystem:**
```javascript
// ZombieSystem checks for active buffs
const buff = this.scene.hybridAbilitySystem.getZombieBuff(zombieId);

if (buff && buff.type === 'boost') {
    workSpeed *= buff.efficiencyMultiplier; // +50%
    moveSpeed *= buff.speedMultiplier; // +50%
    damage *= buff.damageMultiplier; // +30%
}
```

### **During Taming:**
```javascript
// ZombieSystem taming check
const buff = this.scene.hybridAbilitySystem.getZombieBuff(zombieId);

if (buff && buff.type === 'calm') {
    tameChance += 0.5; // +50% success rate
}
```

## 💡 **Key Design Decisions:**

### **Why Separate System from MagicSystem?**
- **Different resource:** Alfa Energy vs. Mana
- **Different targets:** Zombies vs. Enemies
- **Different purpose:** Support/control vs. Damage
- **Different theme:** Hybrid virus vs. Magic staffs

### **Why These 4 Abilities?**
- **Heal:** Survival - keep your zombie workforce alive
- **Boost:** Efficiency - maximize productivity
- **Calm:** Safety - tame dangerous zombies without risk
- **Sense:** Awareness - know when danger is near

Each ability solves a real gameplay problem!

## 🚀 **Impact:**

### **For Gameplay:**
