# 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.

## Modifiers

Icon:
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.
