This style of fight / abilities is almost exactly how Pokemon games work - it will be familiar to a lot of people. Actually so familiar I'd be worried about overzealous Nintendo lawyers :-P

Ah yes, I think they were called AP(Action Points) or something. But you rarely felt them as a player aside from long journeys and really strong attacks that are balanced out by having more limited uses.

I think it makes more sense to have at least one unlimited attack, though. It's hard to logically justify it otherwise.

They're called PP, and when you run out of PP on all your moves, you automatically use "struggle" which hurts both you and the enemy.
