They tried to solve that problem by creating one long alphabetic ability list in the 2nd edition, but that didn't really make it easier, as well. I think what they could/should have done to make the Cypher system more universal is to stick to the core resolution system (as I said, my players didn't really like it, but personally, I think there's a lot of merit to it) and come up with a completely new character creation system that doesn't lock you into surprise bag types and focusses and provides a sounder, more abstract structure for special abilities that doesn't have you leafing through hundreds of idiosyncratic abilities with strange names.</p></blockquote><p></p>
