Fusion iteration

[krbz999]

Add some general rules for how item A is fused onto item B.

• [ ] If both items are the same item type, generally their properties are combined (sets and arrays), added together (numbers), or the highest value is picked (such as for one- or two-handed).
• [x] Implement a 'reach' property for items (a numeric value), since it doesn't make sense to combine the range of items together, but that does make sense for a 'reach' value. Alternatively, add an 'Extended Reach' attribute (boolean value), which describes whether the range values are combined when fusing or not.
• [x] Add a 'max' property on items that describe how many fusions an item can have on it.

Specific Properties: all item types

• [x] Attributes: This set is merged together.
• [x] Subtype: This is ignored.
• [x] Price: This is summed together.
• [x] Weight: This is summed together.
• [ ] If item A has any enhancements, these are added to the fusion effect onto item B.
• [ ] If item A grants any buffs to the owning actor, these are IGNORED and NOT added to item B.

Specific Properties: Arsenal

• [x] Wielding: The highest value is used (one- or two-handed).
• [x] Range: This value is ignored.
• [x] Reach: This is summed together.
• [x] Action Cost: This is summed together.
• [x] Armor Value (shields): This value is halved before being added to item B, but ignored entirely if item B is not a shield.
• [x] Damage Bonuses: These are all summed together.
• [ ] If both item A and item B are buff spells, buffs added by item A are added to item B's pool of available buffs.
• [x] Targeting Types (spells): These are merged together if both items are spells, otherwise ignored or left as inspiration for additional benefits to the fusion.

Damage formulas (Arsenal)

If item A or item B is a spell, but not an offensive spell, damage formulas are ignored entirely.

• [ ] If item A is a weapon and item B is a weapon, item B gains all the damage formulas, but halved.
• [ ] If item A is a weapon, and item B is a shield, item B gains all the damage formulas, but halved.
• [ ] If item A is a weapon, and item B is a spell, item B gains no damage formulas.
• [ ] If Item A is a shield, and item B is a weapon, item B gains all the damage formulas, but halved.
• [ ] If item A is a shield, and item B is a shield, item B gains all the damage formulas, but halved.
• [ ] If item A is a shield, and item B is a spell, item B gains no damage formulas.
• [ ] If Item A is a spell, and item B is a weapon, item B gains one damage formula of item A, but halved.
• [ ] If item A is a spell, and item B is a shield, item B gains one damage formula of item A, but halved.
• [ ] If item A is a spell, and item B is a spell, item B gains all the damage formulas of item A.

Specific Properties: Armor

• [x] Amor Value: This value is halved before being added to item B.
• [x] Resistances: These are all summed together.

Edge cases

• [ ] Consider what happens to system.damage.parts if explicitly on the chosen fusion option. What if the target is an offensive spell?
• [x] Add 'transferrable' property to item attributes to describe whether they are automatically added to fusion effects. (For example, 'ammunition' makes no sense.)

Okay, I like this a lot. The one point of confusion I have is combining weapons with spells. Mostly on the basis of what this looks like? It appears that is only goes one way though, implying spells can be more or less "infused" onto weapons? Am I understanding this correctly? If so, I would like to clarify whether it is the base damage value of the spell OR if it is whatever the immediate damage value of the spell is

A weapon can be fused onto a spell, and a spell can be fused onto a weapon, both ways are possible.

When fusing a spell onto a weapon:

If Item A is a spell, and item B is a weapon, item B gains one damage formula of item A, but halved.

You would have to choose at the time.

Rather than sometimes halving some things, I think for simplicity's sake it would be good to always halve all stuff from the item being fused onto another.
