+## Examples
+```yaml
+ExampleSkill:
+  Skills:
+  - vskill{s=ExampleSkill_<random.1to3>} @self
+
+ExampleSkill_1:
+  Skills:
+  - effect:particles{particle=reddust;color=#FF0000;amount=10}
+ExampleSkill_2:
+  Skills:
+  - effect:particles{particle=reddust;color=#FFFFFF;amount=10}
+ExampleSkill_3:
+  Skills:
+  - effect:particles{particle=reddust;color=#00FF00;amount=10}
+```
+In the example, the `ExampleSkill` metaskill, once triggered, will execute a skill whose name is composed of `ExampleSkill_` and a randomly generated number between 1 and 3.
+
+##
+
+```yaml
+Example_StanceSkill:
+  Skills:
+  - vskill{s=ExampleMob_<caster.stance>_<random.1to2>} @self
+```
+In this example, the VariableSkill is being used to quickly create some stance-based skills without the need to use any stance conditions and the like
+
+##
+
+```yaml
+Example_VariablePlaceholder:
+  Skills:
+  - vskill{s=Fireball_<skill.var.fireballtype>} @self
+```
+In this example, the VariableSkill mechanic will execute a metaskill whose name depends on some skill-scoped variables that has been set earlier on
