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
