Skill Mechanics (or base skills) are simple skills that are built into MythicMobs. You can call these basic skills by themselves in your mob's Skill List, or you can create your own meta-skill by combining these mechanics together.

Some Mechanics are able to target Entities, Locations, or both! Some don't target anything. You control what your skill targets using a Targeter.

You can also find some of the mechanics listed by tag here

targetInterval	targetI	How many ticks must elapse between target selection	0
origin		[PREMIUM]* Change the origin to whatever targeter is supplied. Does not work if more than one target is parsed. origin=@Forward{f=10}
