There are only 3 ability types in Dota 2:
  • Targetable
  • Passive
  • Auto - Cast

Targeting types:
  • Unit
  • Point
  • Instant
  • Area

And damage types:
  • Physical
  • Magical
  • Pure

These are the the only and main ability, targeting and damage types. There are not other than these. Those mentioned in the other thread are not even ability types. If you want to know about damage types go to my blog and find it. This is to clear things because those mentioned in the other thread are just mechanics on what spells are based of in Dota and Unit/Hero Specifics. And more about ability and targeting types here: Dota 2 Wiki Ability and Targeting Types

The word "Toggle" fits in Auto-Cast because you toggle the ability on/off.
