How 'magic' works

[nmay231]

How exactly will 'Magic' work? Clearly, Player.mana will be the currency and Player.magic_regen the speed of mana regen (should we change the name to that: mana_regen). However, the following confuses me as to their exact usage:

• Player.magicpower
• Player.magicresist Clearly, the second determines resistance to magic, but will be it multiplicative (e.g. 0.5 *magic_damage) or additive (magic_damage - 3). I don't have an idea of what the first does. What does it do?

Hey @calebmrose00

[calebmrose00]

they are both multiplicative and they both effect magic. the Player.magicpower is the positive multiplayer for the caster of the ability. eg more attack damage, more health, ect. the Player.magicresist reduces negative effects such as damage or slow

[calebmrose00]

also feel free to add, or change variable names to make them more clear
