Combat-pacing rebalance to curb single-cast overcast greed and long-fight
stalemates without further nerfing base spell damage:
- Replace the per-round mana cap with a daily mana pool (old Poziom Mocy
values x3), restored via rest tiers (Odetchniecie/Krotki/Dlugi Odpoczynek).
- Add a mundane-only "Kara za Wyczerpanie Many" table for casting past the
daily pool, and a "Kara za Nieudolnosc" table for failed overcast tests -
deliberately kept free of Otchlan/Obled corruption.
- Taper overcast effect bonuses past step 2 (halved, min 1) to blunt
free-zone alpha strikes below Maksymalny Koszt Zaklecia.
- Rebalance Zywotnosc/Oszolomiony/rest-recovery from 3x/1-3 to 2x/1-2.
- Add a "Potega Efektu" magnitude parameter to the spell-costing formula,
decoupling effect strength from casting difficulty (T/S).
- Flip the Obrazenia/Ochrona category modifiers (-0.4/+0.2, was 0.0/-0.7) so
shields cost more than comparable attacks instead of less, then swept all
spell files against the new formula.
- Expand shield-breaking beyond Ether Pierce (Mysterious Stream, Arrow of
Desire, Energy Wave, Divine Spear, Last Judgment, True Disintegration),
rework Forbidden Shield into a durability-based ward with a shield-ignoring
counter-attack, and complete True Disintegration's description, which was
truncated since the initial commit.
- Formalize the four-layer damage reduction order (Runiczny Pancerz ->
Magiczna Oslona -> Pancerz -> Zywotnosc) in the rulebook.
