A mana ability is an ability that (1) isn't a loyalty ability, (2) doesn't target, and (3) could add mana when it resolves.
wotc24 Jan 2013
The copy will have the same targets as the ability it's copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If, for one of the targets, you can't choose a new legal target, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).
wotc24 Jan 2013
If Illusionist's Bracers somehow becomes equipped to a creature an opponent controls, and an activated ability (that isn't a mana ability) of that creature is activated, you will control the copy of that ability.
wotc24 Jan 2013
If the cost of an activated ability requires Illusionist's Bracers or the equipped creature to be sacrificed, the ability won't be copied. At the time the ability is considered activated (after all costs are paid), Illusionist's Bracers is no longer equipped to that creature.
wotc24 Jan 2013
If the ability has {X} in its cost, the value of X is copied.

An activated ability is written in the form "Cost: Effect."
