+Mechanic: Skill
+===============
+
+Executes another meta-skill, which must be located in
+*/MythicMobs/Skills*. The executed skill will inherit any targets if no
+targeter is specified.
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+    Skills:
+    - skill{skill=AnotherSkill} @Target ~onAttack
+    - skill{s=AnotherSkill} @Trigger ~onSpawn
+
+Since version 2.2.0 most mechanics are run async by default. If you
+experience trouble with any skills that worked fine in previous versions
+of MythicMobs, you may try adding ";sync=true" as syntax which will
+force the skill the be run sync again. This practice is also recommended
+if you're working with extremely timing-sensitive skills, but rarely
+needed.
+
+The attribute "sync=true" will be inherited by any sub-skills and cannot
+be set to *false* later in a skill-tree.
+
+| Attribute | Shorthand | Description                                                         | Default |
+|-----------|-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
+| forcesync | sync      | Whether to force the skill to be run synchroniously with Minecraft. | false   |
+
+*"forcesync" was added in version 2.2*
+
+Cooldown
+--------
+
+Skill configurations are capable of utilizing cooldown, set in seconds.
+Since version 2.2 it's also possible to provide cooldown values in
+decimals. Add cooldown to your skills like this:
+
+    internal_skillname:
+      Cooldown: <seconds>
+      Conditions:
+      - condition
+      - ...
+      Skills:
+      - mechanic{}
+      - ...
+
+Note that this only applies for skill configurations that are saved as
+skill-files in */MythicMobs/Skills*. Cooldown can't be added to
+mechanics called directly in mob configuration files.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+    Skills:
+    - skill{s=AnotherSkill;sync=true} @Target ~onAttack
+    - skill{s=ice_bolt;sync=true} @Target ~onTimer:100
+    - skill{sync=true;s=flamethrower} @TargetLocation ~onTimer:200
+    - skill
+        {
+        skill=leafs;
+        sync=true
+        }
