| Abilities are unique skills which can be bound onto items to make them feel more unique. Most of the abilities can be cast using right/left click (while sneaking?) and help the player by giving him an extra damage source or a buff. The action the player must perform in order to cast an ability depends on the ability **casting mode** which you specify when adding an ability to an item.

| - | In order to setup a MM ability in MMOItems, you need to specify three different things: the **MM internal skill name** which will be used by MMOItems to detect and cast the corresponding MM skill, the **ability name** which is used by MMOItems to display the ability in the item lore, and the **modifiers** the ability has as well as the default modifier values.\ | + | In order to setup a MM ability in MMOItems, you need to specify three different things: the **MM internal skill name** which will be used by MMOItems to detect and cast the corresponding MM skill, the **ability name** which is used by MMOItems to display the ability in the item lore, and the **modifiers** the ability has as well as the default modifier values. |

| - | As you can see, the skill currently deals 10 damage to whatever entity it hits. As of right now however, the skill will deal 10 damage no matter what modifier the ability has. We need some way to retrieve data from the ability when it is cast using an item from MMOitems, in order to deal the correct amount of damage using the MythicMobs damage skill mecanic.\ | + | As you can see, the skill currently deals 10 damage to whatever entity it hits.

| - | Since MythicMobs (premium builds) also supports math formulas for these type of mecanics which support numeric values, you can also use for instance `a="<mmoitems.skill.IceBolt.damage> * 10"` which takes the ability modifier value from MMOItems and multiplies it by 10. Coupled with skill conditions you can have brand new amazing skills with really complex features and formulas. | + | Since MythicMobs (premium builds) also supports math formulas for these type of mecanics which support numeric values, you can also use for instance ''a="<mmoitems.skill.IceBolt.damage> * 10"'' which takes the ability modifier value from MMOItems and multiplies it by 10.
