All the recent Ability Draft updates

There were a few other changes in these updates, like fixing certain cosmetics and supporter's club items, but these are only the ability draft updates below. It seems some of these updates were made several months before, but only the localization was added for it later. Formatting has been cleaned to make it easily readable. Reuploaded to fix some formatting issues.**
