The MI Skills and MII Skills are wrappers for the actual Skill objects.

A gizmo is a place to hang things off of. It's an object-oriented thing.

Here's an example:

  <thing
    id="miDuelistB"
    name="Duelist’s Blade"
    compset="miMelee"
    description="This ornately worked rapier is very popular with duelists. It grants +2 to Fighting, +1 damage, and increases the wielder’s Parry by +2."
    summary="">
    <fieldval field="miAttack" value="2"/>
    <fieldval field="miDamage" value="1"/>
    <fieldval field="wpParry" value="1"/>
    <fieldval field="grCost" value="13150"/>
    <fieldval field="gearWeight" value="3"/>
    <usesource source="Fantasy"/>
    <tag group="WeaponDie" tag="2"/>
    <containerreq phase="Initialize" priority="2000"><![CDATA[
      source.Fantasy]]></containerreq>
    <child entity="fcMagItemP">
      <bootstrap thing="wpRapier"></bootstrap>
      <bootstrap thing="mieBlock2"></bootstrap>
      </child>
    </thing>

In this case, the gizmo is called fcMagItemP. The mieBlock2 is the wrapper for the Improved Block Edge. Magic Items got a little weird. It was my first serious project, and we had to do some interesting things to get it to work.
