If these are always automatically used, this tag is not for it.

Commonly usable with single-target damage abilities so they'll be used on whatever the character is attacking. Area affecting things often do not have the option of auto-casting unless it's a friendly buff, heal, or such.

More advanced auto-casting cases allow player to set conditions for it, but that is not requirement for this tag.
