Variables are not at all allowed to be used to generate Ids to target something.

Because when the ability is activated, it applies to all affinities the character has a minimum number of ranks in. Yes, this means you can get a bonus to all 6 attributes at once, but some characters will have only STR, others CON, others INT. It depends on what affinities they have, and how many ranks. I just don't know how I would activate a script on up to 6 affinities from a single ability.

To illustrate, a character with Fire 6 and Water 4 gets a +3 to CHA and +2 to CON, but not to the other stats; another with Light 10 and Air 3 gets +5 to WIS and +1 to DEX.

EDIT: Maybe having the ability have no script, but scripts on the affinities looks for that ability being activated do the trick?
