SWORD MECHANICS (Build Heat, Gain Mana)

WING MAGIC (Consume Mana, Vent Heat)

Configure core physical attributes. Affects attack speed, heat generation, and damage output.

TECHNICAL DESIGN DOCUMENT: CORE COMBAT ENGINE
Live variables linked to simulation.

1. Synergy Balance: Heat vs Mana

Player cybernetics generate HEAT on physical sword attacks.

Magic essence (MANA) requires kinetic feedback to regenerate (gained on sword hits).

Using Wing Magic consumes MANA but actively vents HEAT, creating a mandatory weave rhythm to prevent Overheating.

Current Heat: 0/100
Current Mana: 0/100

2. Combo Chain Pseudocode (Aerial Rave)

void executeCombatAction(Input cmd) { // 1. Setup the Launch if (cmd == LAUNCH_SWORD) { target.velocity.y = -20; target.state = AIRBORNE; addHeat(stance.heatRate * 1.5); } // 2. The Aerial Follow-up (Sonic Dive) if (cmd == WING_DASH) { if (target.state == AIRBORNE) { if (player.mana >= DASH_COST) { player.mana -= DASH_COST; player.heat -= VENT_AMOUNT; triggerAerialComboRave(target); // Massive damage, extends air time } else { playErrorSound(); } } } }
