+====== Set Shared Value ======
+<code>
+Misc.SetSharedValue("Key", "Some value set for key")
+</code>
+====== Get that Shared Value======
+<code>
+test = Misc.ReadSharedValue("Key")
+# test should now contain "Some value set for key"
+</code>
+====== Example Usage======
+In practice I use this to dynamically affect script behavior.
+For instance I have a fight script that I want to sometimes use whirlwind and sometimes use momentum based on the fighting situation. I don't want to stop mid fight and change the script, and I don't want to copy the whole script just to get this ability to change behavior.
+In my fight script I have:
+<code>
+if Misc.CheckSharedValue("UseMomentum"):
+    use_momentum = Misc.ReadSharedValue("UseMomentum")
+else:
+    use_momentum = True
+if use_momentum and (not Player.SpellIsEnabled('Momentum Strike')):
+    Spells.CastBushido('Momentum Strike')
+    Misc.Pause(500)
+else:
+    Use_weapon_special(weapon)
+</code>
+Then, in another script attached to a hot key:
+<code>
+if Misc.CheckSharedValue("UseMomentum"):
+    Misc.SetSharedValue("UseMomentum", not(Misc.ReadSharedValue("UseMomentum")))
+else:
+    Misc.SetSharedValue("UseMomentum", False)
+Mobiles.Message(Player.Serial, 5, "Use Momentum: {}".format(Misc.ReadSharedValue("UseMomentum")))
+</code>
