"scope of area abilities"

[Knightmage Bael]

I assume this means attack range? Kind of odd wording...can't be too sure...

Area isn't range, it looks more like AOE, so abilities with an area of effect. In French this point is clear for AOE related stuff, but I don't remind any specific "scope of area".

EDIT:
Often when checking a skill description, there's a key to show more detail, and often terms get a quick explanation, sometimes it can help.

The area the attack hits would be the range of the ability right? So how would that be different from AOE? Now I'm even more confused.

The game also mentions things like "cooldown duration" which implies to me that if the duration stops, abilities stop cooling down?

eather you are trolling or you never played any game that has any cooldown mechanics
colldown duration is the time that coolddown take,
for example you throw your pen, now you have a cooldown of 1min to throw it again. "cooldown duration" now makes that 1min less or more depends what it gives

Aoe is the circle the aoe does, for exmaple throw a fireball that does damage in a 1m circle, now the aoe range get increased, that circle gets a boost. not the range you can throw the fireball

a regular "cooldown" is simply how long it takes for an ability to be usable again. A cooldown duration, to me, makes me interpret that the word "duration" is applied to the word "cooldown" and therefore referring to some bizarre mechanic that limits cooldowns in some way.

Again, which is similar to how I'm confused with the language used for "scope of area abilities" instead of just calling it "Area of Effect", if that's what they mean.

The language they're using for this game is throwing me off by a wide margin.
