How many Ability Cards can you use in Tunic?

You can use up to five Ability Cards in Tunic but you’ll need to find and throw 15 Gold Coins into a well to do so. If you don’t manage to find every Gold Coin, you can only have one active Ability Card but this can be swapped out with another at any time.
