+### Examples
+
+      Skills:
+      - damage{amount=20;ignoreArmor=true} @target ~onTimer:20
+
+This skill above does 20 damage (10 hearts), ignoring armor, to the
+mob's target every 1 second (20 ticks).
+
+    FreezeBlast:
+      Skills:
+      - effect:sound{s=block.fire.extinguish;v=1;p=0.5} @PIR{r=6}
+      - effect:particles{p=explode;a=8;vs=0.5;hs=0.5;s=0;y=1;repeat=5;repeatInterval=20} @PIR{r=6}
+      - effect:particles{p=drip_water;a=10;vs=0.5;hs=0.5;s=0;y=1;repeat=5;repeatInterval=20} @PIR{r=6}
+      - potion{t=SLOW;d=120;l=6} @PIR{r=6}
+      - damage{a=120;pkb=true} @PIR{r=6}
+
+A more complex use of the **damage** mechanic can give illusions of say
+Ice attacks like the example above. Which uses effects to make the
+targets of the mob appear as if they were frozen by using particles (On
+a repeating interval to create a sort of lingering frost effect as well)
+and inflicting Slowness level 7 (which is -105% movement speed.) slowing
+the mob to a halt. Additionally the mechanic inflicts 120 damage (60
+hearts) to players within 6 blocks.
