Making a skill into a spell unlocks new options you can use to control how the spell is cast.

# Making a Spell
Turning a regular skill into a spell is simple and can be done with any existing Mythic metaskill - it just requires adding the option `Spell: true` to the metaskill. It will then be registered as a spell after the next reload and all of the extra casting options will be unlocked.
## Spell Options
Spells are just Mythic Skills with extra options. All regular Mythic metaskill options are also applicable!
| Spell: true | Turns the skill into a spell and allows players to learn it if set to true |
| LearnConditions: [conditions]| A list of conditions that must be met to learn the spell. |
| Trigger: [trigger] | What triggers the spell. Defaults to `~onCombat` |
| Targeter: [targeter] | The main targeter for the spell. If this is set the spell will fail to cast and not consume resources if a valid target isn't found. Defaults to `@self`. <br>*Remember to put the targeter between string delimiters such as `"` or `'` so that the yaml file can parse correctly* |
| Cost: [reagents] | A list of reagents this spell costs to cast. |
| Global: true | Makes it a [global spell], causing it to be automatically applied to all players |
| Upgrades: [integer] | The maximum level the spell can reach. Defaults to `1` |
| Bindable: [true/false] | Whether the slot from which this spell can be cast can be binded. Defaults to `false`<br><br>Once binded, the `~onUse` trigger is needed to cast the skill |

## Modifiers
Modifiers are per-level numeric values that you can reference inside `Description:` lines and inside the spell's mechanics via `<spell.modifier.<key>>` placeholders. They come in two forms:
`{KEY}` placeholders in the `Description:` are substituted with the modifier's value at the player's current spell level.
## Stats
Stats let a spell directly grant the player stat bonuses for as long as they know the spell — no need for an aura. Each entry under `Stats:` is keyed by a stat name and configures how it scales with spell level.
The stat name (`HEALTH` in the example) can also be used inside `Description:` as a placeholder — `{HEALTH}` is replaced with the current value at the player's spell level.
Stats are applied automatically when the spell is learned and removed when it's forgotten.
