Creates an infobox with options to display valuable information such as cooldowns, charges, damage buckets, and so on.

Usage

Skill descriptions may be confusing to write and include heavy template usage and substitution methods.

Cast a spell dealing <var:a> in a {{v|5m}} area and gain {{haste}} for {{v|8s}}

The description text above will:

1. Bold "5m" and "8s" using Template:Value
2. Color and write "HASTE" as a keyword using Template:Haste
3. If the template also includes |a=150, <var:a> will be substituted with that value and have its maximum value calculated using Module:Description

While these steps may seem unnecessarily complicated, it is meant to reduce descriptive text rewrites to make maintenance easier.
