4. getFloorElement - Floor element determination from cycle
5. getActiveEquipmentSpells - Helper to get all spells from equipped caster weapons
6. getEffectiveSkillLevel - Helper for tiered skill level calculation
7. computeMaxMana - Maximum mana calculation with effects
8. computeElementMax - Elemental mana capacity calculation
9. computeRegen - Mana regeneration rate calculation
10. computeEffectiveRegen - Regen with dynamic special effects
11. computeClickMana - Click mana gain calculation
12. getElementalBonus - Elemental damage bonus helper
13. calcDamage - Damage calculation with skills, pacts, and crits
14. calcInsight - End-of-loop insight calculation
15. getMeditationBonus - Meditation multiplier calculation
16. getIncursionStrength - Time-based incursion penalty
17. canAffordSpellCost - Check if player can afford spell

  • Removed duplicate function definitions
  • Kept local getElementalBonus helper (used only in store)
  • Re-exports fmt and fmtDec for backward compatibility
• formatting.ts:
  • Added re-exports of fmt and fmtDec from computed-stats.ts

Results:
