	Description: Creates a wall of flame that blocks of burns your enemies
	Required Level: 18
	Prerequisites: Blaze , Immolate

In that template, we have 4 pieces of information that will vary from skill to skill and need to be edited to reflect the skill:

• The skill icon (note the link needs to be surrounded by double brackets and include the "File:" in the link, ex: [[File:Fire_Wall.png]] )
• The narrative skill description
• The level required for the skill
• Any prerequisites required (these links also need to be surrounded by double brackets)

All skill icons can be found here on the wiki: Special:UncategorizedFiles.

For skill prerequisites (and synergy tables), the standard is for clickable links to the skills. For Fire Wall to get Blaze and Immolate as clickable links instead of just text, we'll be using the [[Fire_Spells#Blaze|Blaze]], [[Fire_Spells#Immolate|Immolate]] skill links in the code. To find copy/pasteable links to skills, navigate to the home page of the wiki and click on the relevant class link under the Character Attributes heading, and then click that classes Discussion tab. There, you'll see all that classes skills listed along with links that you can copy and paste. For this example we've been looking at sorceress skills, links for which can be found here.

Synergies and static values

After the skill description, the next part we'll focus on are the synergies and miscellaneous static values a skill has. For Fire Wall, the relevant parts are highlighted below:

We want these in their own tables, side by side like this:

And this is the code that gets us there:

{| style="margin:auto 0em;" <!-- Layout table for description and misc tables-->
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" |
{| class="wikitable" <!-- Additional skill table (put here not scalable skill properties) -->
|- style="text-align:left;"
| Fire Duration: || 3.6 seconds 
|- style="text-align:left;"
| Cooldown: || 1.4 seconds 
|}
| style="width:20px" |
|
{| class="wikitable" <!-- Synergies table (Please use skill codes from class discussion page) -->
! Synergies !! Bonus to skill
|-style="text-align:left;"
|     [[Fire_Spells#Warmth|'''Warmth''']] 
| +4% Fire damage per hardpoint
|-style="text-align:left;"
|     [[Fire_Spells#Blaze|'''Blaze''']] 
| +4% Fire damage per hardpoint
|-
| style="text-align:left;" colspan="2;" |    [[Fire_Spells#Fire_Mastery|'''Fire Mastery''']] 
|}
| style="width:20px" |
|
|}
|}

For skills that have no synergies, we've created two templates named Skilldescnosynergiesleft and Skilldescnosynergiesright. You can use these templates by simply issuing {{Skilldescnosynergiesleft}} or {{Skilldescnosynergiesright}}. This results in:
