# Custom mechanics
We don't accept new mechanics from outside of official Cards into the main repository. This restriction is needed to keep the engine healthy.
However there is some support to simulate them using named abilities:
This will support things like being able to target specific SA using a custom name. (Flash on Meditate abilities in this example)
```text
Name:Plo Koon
ManaCost:3 W W
Types:Legendary Creature KelDor Jedi
PT:4/4
S:Mode$ CastWithFlash | ValidSA$ Activated.NamedAbilityMeditate | Caster$ You | Description$ You may activate meditate abilities any time you could cast an instant.
A:AB$ ChangeZone | Named$ Meditate | Cost$ 1 W | ActivationZone$ Battlefield | SorcerySpeed$ True | Origin$ Battlefield | Destination$ Hand | Defined$ Self | SpellDescription$ Meditate (Return this creature to its owner's hand. Meditate only as a sorcery.)
Oracle:You may activate meditate abilities any time you could cast an instant.\nMeditate 1W (Return this creature to its owner's hand. Meditate only as a sorcery.)
```
Restrict trigger to only if was triggered by a specific type of SA (Only Scry when Meditating and not being bounced), and reduce cost for a specific type of ability.
```text
Name:Jedi Training
ManaCost:U
Types:Enchantment
S:Mode$ ReduceCost | ValidCard$ Card | ValidSpell$ Activated.NamedAbilityMeditate | Activator$ You | Amount$ 1 | Description$ Meditate abilities you activate cost {1} less to activate.
T:Mode$ ChangesZone | Origin$ Battlefield | Destination$ Hand | TriggerZones$ Battlefield | ValidCard$ Creature.Jedi+YouCtrl | Condition$ FromNamedAbilityMeditate | SubAbility$ DBScry | TriggerDescription$ Whenever a Jedi creature you control meditates, scry 1.
SVar:DBScry:DB$ Scry | ScryNum$ 1
Oracle:Meditate abilities you activate cost {1} less to activate.\nWhenever a Jedi creature you control meditates, scry 1.
```
It will also allow for cards to check if a card was cast using an certain ability using `Count$FromNamedAbility<name>.<true>.<false>`:
```text
