## Properties

In addition to all the properties of its parent class, [Fixed Length Effect](https://docs.anyrpg.org/scriptable-objects/ability-effects/..#fixed-length-effect-properties), channeled effects have the following properties.

| Name         | Description                                                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Effect Delay | The delay, in seconds, that should pass after spawning the visual effects, before any subsequent [Ability Effects](https://docs.anyrpg.org/scriptable-objects/ability-effects) are cast. |

## Next steps

* Add a channeled effect to an [Ability](https://docs.anyrpg.org/scriptable-objects/abilities).
* Add a channeled effect to another [Ability Effect](https://docs.anyrpg.org/scriptable-objects/ability-effects) to chain them together.
