-Variables are a new system for storing information added in v4.6. Using
-the variables system, you can store and manipulate values that you can
-use in placeholders or conditions later. These values can be either
-permanent or temporary.

 ### Variable Types
 
-Variables can be one of several types, which is defined when the
-variable is initialized using the
-[setVariable](/skills/mechanics/setvariable) mechanic. Types are
-generally interchangeable and MythicMobs will do its best to apply
-certain variables to whatever situation is asked, however it will throw
-an error if you try to use a variable type for something that makes no
-sense.

 ### Variable Scopes
 
-A variable's "scope" is **where** that variable exists. Not all scopes
-are applicable for all situations (e.g. a condition may not have a
-caster, rather the caster is the target of the condition).

 ### Usage
 
-All variable mechanics and conditions accept **var=** and **scope=**
-attributes to determine what variable you're wanting to work with and
-where. You can also shorthand the scope using
-**var=scope.variable\_name**. The following examples would return the

 ### Variable Mechanics
 
-Variable mechanics are special mechanics that utilize variables. They
-can target entities, locations, or nothing, but the target can affect
-the outcome depending on what scope you're using. For example, trying to
-get a target-scope'd variable will obviously fail if you're not
-targeting an entity.

 ### Variable Placeholders
 
-Variables can be referenced in any MythicMobs mechanics or values that
-allow placeholders. This is usually done using the format
-**<scope.var.\[variable\]>**.
