Tarantula Hawk: grammar (i hope i interpreted the intended meaning correctly)

{{techcircle}} {{tech}} (formerly called {{mod|mods}})  are the main [[power ups]] in n-gon. They are found by killing [[mob]]s and rarely in the wild. They have 6 types: '''skins''', {{tech|tech}}, {{instantcircle}} {{tech|instant tech}}, {{guntechcircle}}[[gun|{{gun}}]]{{tech}}, {{fieldtechcircle}}[[fields|{{field}}]]{{tech}}, and {{Junkcircle}} {{junk}}.

The most significant source of tech is [[Mob|Boss]] kills.

== List of {{tech}} ==
=== {{Skincircle}}     Skins ===
'''skins''' are a type of {{tech}} that change your appearance. You can (generally) only have one skin.
:''"skinned" means having any other skin tech.''
