Activated abilities include a colon and are written in the form “[cost]: [effect].” No one can activate any activated abilities, including mana abilities, of a detained permanent.

The static abilities of a detained permanent still apply. The triggered abilities of a detained permanent can still trigger.

If a permanent's activated ability is on the stack when that permanent is detained, the ability will be unaffected.
