+```
+
+### Mana Formulas
+
+**Maximum Raw Mana:**
+```
+maxMana = (100 + (manaWellLevel × 100) + (prestigeManaWell × 500) + equipmentBonuses) × maxManaMultiplier
+```
+
+**Maximum Elemental Mana:**
+```
+elementMax = (10 + (elemAttuneLevel × 50) + (prestigeElemAttune × 25)) × elementCapMultiplier
+```
+
+**Base Regeneration (per hour):**
+```
+baseRegen = 2 + (manaFlowLevel × 1) + (manaSpringLevel × 2) + (prestigeManaFlow × 0.5)
+effectiveRegen = baseRegen × (1 - incursionStrength) × meditationMultiplier
+```
+
+**Meditation Bonus:**
+```
+Base: 1 + min(hours/4, 0.5) = up to 1.5x after 4 hours
+With Meditation Focus skill: 2.5x after 4 hours
+With Deep Trance skill: 3.0x after 6 hours
+With Void Meditation skill: 5.0x after 8 hours
+```
+
+**Attunement Mana Conversion:**
+- Enchanter: Raw → Transference at 0.2/hour base (scales with level)
+- Fabricator: Raw → Earth at 0.25/hour base (scales with level)
+
+### Mana Conversion Cost
+- **100 Raw Mana = 1 Elemental Mana** (for base elements)
+- Compound/Exotic elements are crafted, not converted
+
+---
+
+## Time & Incursion System
+
+### Time Constants
+
+| Constant | Value | Description |
+|----------|-------|-------------|
+| `TICK_MS` | 200ms | Real time per game tick |
+| `HOURS_PER_TICK` | 0.04 | Game hours per tick |
+| `MAX_DAY` | 30 | Days per loop |
+| `INCURSION_START_DAY` | 20 | When incursion begins |
+
+### Time Progression
+- 1 real second = 5 game hours (at 5 ticks/second)
+- 1 game day = 24 game hours = 4.8 real seconds
+- Full 30-day loop ≈ 2.4 real minutes
+
+### Incursion Mechanic
+
+**Incursion Strength Formula:**
+```
+if (day < 20): incursionStrength = 0
+else: incursionStrength = min(0.95, (totalHours / maxHours) × 0.95)
+```
+
+**Effects:**
+- Reduces mana regeneration by `(1 - incursionStrength)`
+- Starts at 0% on Day 20, reaches 95% by Day 30
+- Creates urgency to complete objectives before loop ends
+
+---
+
+## Spire & Floor System
+
+### Floor Generation
+
+**Floor Element Cycle:**
+```javascript
+FLOOR_ELEM_CYCLE = ["fire", "water", "air", "earth", "light", "dark", "death"]
+element = FLOOR_ELEM_CYCLE[(floor - 1) % 7]
+```
+
+**Floor HP Formula:**
+```
+normalFloorHP = floor(100 + floor × 50 + floor^1.7)
+guardianFloorHP = GUARDIANS[floor].hp // Fixed values
+```
+
+**Guardian Floors:** 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 100
+
+### Room Types
+
+| Room Type | Chance | Description |
+|-----------|--------|-------------|
+| **Combat** | Default | Single enemy, normal combat |
+| **Guardian** | Fixed | Boss floor, always on guardian floors |
+| **Swarm** | 15% | 3-6 enemies with 40% HP each |
+| **Speed** | 10% | Enemy with dodge chance (25% base + 0.5%/floor) |
+| **Puzzle** | 20% on puzzle floors | Progress-based, faster with relevant attunement |
+
+### Swarm Room Configuration
+```javascript
+SWARM_CONFIG = {
+  minEnemies: 3,
+  maxEnemies: 6,
+  hpMultiplier: 0.4,    // Each enemy has 40% of normal HP
+  armorBase: 0,
+  armorPerFloor: 0.01   // +1% armor per 10 floors
+}
+```
+
+### Speed Room Configuration
+```javascript
+SPEED_ROOM_CONFIG = {
+  baseDodgeChance: 0.25,   // 25% base
+  dodgePerFloor: 0.005,    // +0.5% per floor
+  maxDodge: 0.50           // Cap at 50%
+}
+```
+
+### Armor Scaling
+```javascript
+FLOOR_ARMOR_CONFIG = {
+  baseChance: 0,           // No armor before floor 10
+  chancePerFloor: 0.01,    // +1% chance per floor after 10
+  maxArmorChance: 0.5,     // Max 50% of floors have armor
+  minArmor: 0.05,          // Min 5% damage reduction
+  maxArmor: 0.25           // Max 25% on non-guardians
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Combat System
+
+### Spell Casting Mechanics
+
+**Cast Progress:**
+```
+progressPerTick = HOURS_PER_TICK × spellCastSpeed × totalAttackSpeed
+```
+
+**Spell Cast Speed:**
+- Each spell has a `castSpeed` value (casts per hour)
+- Higher = faster casting
+- Lightning spells get +30% effective cast speed
+
+**Damage Calculation:**
+```
+baseDamage = spellDamage + (combatTrainLevel × 5)
+pctBonus = 1 + (arcaneFuryLevel × 0.1)
+elemMastery = 1 + (elementalMasteryLevel × 0.15)
+pactMultiplier = product of all signed pact multipliers
+elementalBonus = getElementalBonus(spellElement, floorElement)
+
+finalDamage = baseDamage × pctBonus × pactMultiplier × elemMastery × elementalBonus
+```
+
+### Elemental Effectiveness
+
+| Condition | Multiplier |
+|-----------|------------|
+| Spell same element as floor | 1.25x (25% bonus) |
+| Spell is opposite of floor element | 1.50x (Super Effective) |
+| Spell's opposite matches floor | 0.75x (Not Very Effective) |
+| Raw mana spells | 1.00x (No bonus) |
+
+**Element Opposites:**
+```
+Fire ↔ Water
+Air ↔ Earth
+Light ↔ Dark
+Lightning ↔ (none, but has armor pierce)
+```
+
+### Armor & Damage Reduction
+
+**Effective Damage:**
+```
+effectiveArmor = max(0, enemyArmor - armorPierce)
+damageDealt = damage × (1 - effectiveArmor)
+```
+
+**Armor Pierce Sources:**
+- Lightning spells: 20-50% pierce
+- Metal spells: 25-60% pierce
+- Golems: 15-60% pierce
+
+### Critical Hits
+
+```
+critChance = precisionLevel × 0.05
+critMultiplier = 1.5 (base)
+```
+
+### AOE Mechanics
+
+```
+aoeDamage = baseDamage × (1 - 0.1 × (numTargets - 1))
+// 10% less damage per additional target
+```
+
+### Special Combat Effects
+
+| Effect | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| **Burn** | Damage over time |
+| **Freeze** | Prevents dodge (100% freeze = no dodge) |
+| **Stun** | Temporary disable |
+| **Pierce** | Ignores percentage of armor |
+| **Chain** | Hits multiple targets |
+| **AOE** | Area damage |
+| **Buff** | Damage multiplier |
+

+
+### Damage Calculation (Complete)
+
+```javascript
+function calcDamage(state, spellId, floorElement) {
+  const spell = SPELLS_DEF[spellId];
+  
+  // Base damage
+  let damage = spell.dmg + (state.skills.combatTrain || 0) * 5;
+  
+  // Percentage multipliers
+  damage *= 1 + (state.skills.arcaneFury || 0) * 0.1;
+  
+  // Elemental mastery
+  damage *= 1 + (state.skills.elementalMastery || 0) * 0.15;
+  
+  // Guardian bane (vs guardians only)
+  if (isGuardian) {
+    damage *= 1 + (state.skills.guardianBane || 0) * 0.2;
+  }
+  
+  // Pact multiplier
+  damage *= state.signedPacts.reduce((m, f) => m * GUARDIANS[f].pact, 1);
+  
+  // Elemental effectiveness
+  damage *= getElementalBonus(spell.elem, floorElement);
+  
+  // Critical hit
+  const critChance = (state.skills.precision || 0) * 0.05;
+  if (Math.random() < critChance) {
+    damage *= 1.5;
+  }
+  
+  // Equipment effects
+  damage *= effects.baseDamageMultiplier;
+  damage += effects.baseDamageBonus;
+  
+  // Armor reduction
+  const effectiveArmor = Math.max(0, enemyArmor - armorPierce);
+  damage *= (1 - effectiveArmor);
+  
+  return Math.floor(damage);
+}
+```
+
+### Study Time Calculation
+
+```javascript
+effectiveStudyTime = baseStudyTime × tier / studySpeedMultiplier
+
+studySpeedMultiplier = 1 + (quickLearnerLevel × 0.1) + equipmentBonus
+```
+
+### Study Cost Calculation
+
+```javascript
+effectiveCost = floor(baseCost × (currentLevel + 1) × tier × costMultiplier)
+
+costMultiplier = 1 - (focusedMindLevel × 0.05)
+```
+
+### DPS Calculation
+
+```javascript
+dps = (damage × castSpeed × attackSpeedMultiplier) / hour
+```

+### Key System Dependencies
+
+| System | Depends On | Unlocks/Enables |
+|--------|------------|-----------------|
+| **Skills** | Mana (cost) | All combat/crafting bonuses |
+| **Enchanting** | Enchanter attunement, Skills | Equipment spells, bonuses |
+| **Golemancy** | Fabricator attunement, Earth mana | Additional combat damage |
+| **Pacts** | Guardian defeat | Permanent multipliers, boons |
+| **Prestige** | Loop completion | Permanent upgrades, memories |
+| **Equipment** | Crafting/Blueprints | Spell access, stat bonuses |
+
+### Progression Gates
+
+1. **Early Game (Floors 1-10):**
+   - Mana gathering and regen
+   - Basic skills (mana, study categories)
+   - Starting equipment
+
+2. **Mid Game (Floors 10-40):**
+   - First guardian pacts
+   - Attunement unlocking
+   - Equipment enchanting
+   - Golemancy (Fabricator)
+
+3. **Late Game (Floors 40-80):**
+   - Compound/exotic elements
+   - Hybrid golems
+   - Skill tier evolution
+   - Advanced enchantments
+
+4. **End Game (Floors 80-100):**
+   - Void/Stellar/Crystal spells
+   - Ultimate golems
+   - Victory preparation
+
+---
+
+## Appendix: Known Issues
+
+### Missing Implementations
+
+1. **Invocation Skills** - Category defined but no skills
+2. **Pact Skills** - Category defined but no skills
+3. **Scroll Crafting** - Skill exists, no system
+4. **Field Repair** - Skill exists, no repair system
+
+### Balance Concerns
+
+1. Exotic elements require extreme mana investment
+2. Incursion creates hard time pressure without counterplay
+3. Equipment progression limited after starting gear
