Absolum - OK, what is this slightly off language this Absolum guide site is using?

 I'm reading through... I do like the shorthand for things so I can skim through it faster. And it almost all makes sense. Except... the person(?) writing this is using some established Roguelike [I still don't really love classifying games into these names, BTW] language or something funky I'm guessing. Because, what is "Frost"? What is "Mana/CD"? What is... "blink"? Some of these things do not exist in the game at face value. Is this site for real? 

quote: 

  • Best partners: Frost partners let chains land fully
quote: 

  • Unlock first: Mana/CD relief first
quote:
  • Counterplay: Add hard CC or pivot to single-target
Guessing CC = CrowdControl. 

quote, about Trinkets: 
  • Alternates: Shield/blink
Guessing: ... Well I know what the shield trinket it. Blink? More D&D references, wtf gives here?


Quote: Common Mistakes & Debug
Guessing Debug means... well it means whoever wrote this guy likes computer programming for sure. But what does it actually mean... I guess it means corrections from your common mistakes. This is fun trying to translate this I guess, isn't it.  

Quote: Q4. When should I pivot from “safe” to “burst”?
A. After you stabilize mana and hit density.
Guessing the DENSITY means... eh, enough mana to do what you need to do? Heh. 


OK, this bit is even weirder. Are they using D&D lingo? Frost Ward? Misty step? Is this whole site ai-generated and 25% just wrong? It's bugging me a lot.
