Setting abilities for pets
Abilities can have attributes, such as:
chance - chance of ability activating when triggered by owner
cooldown - how long after activating ability wont be available (will be on cooldown)
Placeholders
You can assign who ability affects, be it owner (%owner%) or other player/entity (%other%). This way abilities are given towards the assigned player.
Example:
  effects:
  - 'POTION:HASTE:0:20 %owner%'
In this example, HASTE potion effect will be given to pet owner for 20 ticks = 1 second.
Another example:
  effects:
  - 'LIGHTNING %other%'
This example would strike lightning at other entity. E.g. when attacking mobs or players, the other entity would be entity getting attacked.
