You can view your abilities by hitting C or by clicking the Self button.
Unlike Powers and Skills, abilities are passive (active all the time) without needing an initiation by the player. They are generally known to 'fill the gaps' or 'fulfill a player's needs' throughout the game.
Wearing the helm of knowledge and/or blessing a knowledge scroll significantly boosts chances to learn Identification, Telepathy, and Swimming next.
