+
+Skill Power is an attribute available to all skills that increases the
+potency of skills. Base attributes set in the mob configuration will not
+be affected by power levels. It is primarily used as a way to increase
+skill power with a mob's level, and can only be applied using [Level
+Modifiers](/databases/mobs/levels). Some mechanics have certain
+attributes that can be multiplied by power levels.
+
+Future builds will allow you to define a scaling factor on it. In
+current builds it's not possible to turn off the affection of power
+levels when using mechanics except for the
+[Projectile](/skills/mechanics/projectile) and
+[Missile](/skills/mechanics/missile) mechanics. If you don't wish to
+utilize power levels simply do not use them in the level modifiers.
+
+**Mechanics that are affected by power levels + formulas:**
+
+-   [basedamage](/skills/mechanics/basedamage){multiplier=M} - damage =
+    M \* power
+-   [consume](/skills/mechanics/consume){damage=D} - damage = D \* power
+-   [consume](/skills/mechanics/consume){heal=H} - heal = H \* power
+-   [damage](/skills/mechanics/damage){amount=A} - damage = A \* power
+-   [leap](/skills/mechanics/leap){velocity=V} - velocity = V \* ( 1 +
+    power \* 0.1 )
+-   [projectile](/skills/mechanics/projectile){velocity=V} - velocity =
+    V \* power
+-   [projectile](/skills/mechanics/projectile){maxrange=MR} - maxrange =
+    MR \* power
+-   [missile](/skills/mechanics/missile){velocity=V} - velocity = V \*
+    power
+-   [missile](/skills/mechanics/missile){maxrange=MR} - maxrange = MR \*
+    power
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+In this example, a Level 2 ThornySkeleton would do 10 damage instead of
+5 because it gains +1 power per level (base power of 1 + 1 per level =
+2, 5\*2 = 10). A level 3 ThornySkeleton would do 15 damage, and so on.
+
+    ThornySkeleton:
+      Type: SKELETON
+      Health: 20
+      LevelModifiers:
+        Health: 10
+        Power: 1
+      Skills:
