Variables

The variables attribute allows you to define custom skill variables for a MythicMobs skill directly in the item's ability.

This uses the MythicMobs API, and works just like regular skill variables — but can be customized per item, making it much more convenient and flexible.

You can define one or more variables using this system, depending on the needs of your skill.

Variable Supported Types

The variables attribute only supports the following value types:

Name	Description	Example
int	Whole numbers	damage: 5

• Variables are accessed inside your skill using <skill.var.variable_name> format.
• Use "quotes" for string values that include spaces or special characters.
