Fabricator Attunement — Design Spec

Describes the Fabricator attunement: identity, unlock flow, mana behavior, full discipline list with stats/perks, systems unlocked, and attunement level interactions.

---

1. Objective

The Fabricator is the crafting and golemancy attunement. It provides access to Earth-based disciplines that unlock equipment fabrication recipes, golem summoning, and crafting cost reduction. The Fabricator is the primary source of custom equipment and the golem combat system.

---

2. Identity

Property	Value
ID	fabricator
Slot	leftHand
Icon	⚒️
Color	#F4A261 (Earth)
Primary Mana	earth
Raw Mana Regen	+0.4/hour (base, scales with 1.5^(level-1))
Conversion Rate	0.25 raw→earth/hour (base, scales with 1.5^(level-1))
Unlock	Prove crafting worth
Capabilities	['golemCrafting', 'gearCrafting', 'earthShaping']
Skill Categories	['fabrication', 'golemancy']

---

3. Unlock Condition and Flow

Condition: Prove your worth as a crafter.

Unlock flow:

1. Meet the crafting-related unlock condition
2. Fabricator becomes available for activation
3. Player activates Fabricator → initialized at { active: true, level: 1, experience: 0 }
4. Fabricator disciplines become available (5 total)

The unlock condition is stored as a descriptive string: "Prove your worth as a crafter"

---

4. Raw Mana Regen Contribution

Base regen: +0.4/hour (at level 1). Scales exponentially:

effectiveRegen = 0.4 × 1.5^(level - 1)

Level	Raw Regen
1	0.400/hr
5	2.025/hr
10	15.377/hr

---

5. Mana Conversion Behavior

The Fabricator converts raw mana to Earth:

effectiveConversionRate = 0.25 × 1.5^(level - 1)

At level 10, the Fabricator converts 9.61 raw→earth/hour.

---

6. Disciplines

The Fabricator's discipline pool contains 5 disciplines.

---

7. Systems Unlocked

The Fabricator attunement gates two systems:

1. Golemancy (see golemancy-spec.md): Summon and maintain golems for spire combat
2. Item Fabrication (see item-fabrication-spec.md): Craft equipment and materials from recipes

---

8. Puzzle Room Behavior

In the spire, every 7th floor has a puzzle room. When the room type is fabricator_trial, progress scales at 2.5–3% per tick per Fabricator level.

---

9. Attunement Level Interactions

Higher Fabricator level affects:

1. Raw mana regen: 0.4 × 1.5^(level-1) per hour
2. Earth conversion rate: 0.25 × 1.5^(level-1) per hour
3. Golem slots: floor(fabricatorLevel / 2) — Fabricator level directly determines golem capacity

Fabricator Level	Golem Slots
1	0
2–3	1
4–5	2
6–7	3
8–9	4
10	5

---

10. Discipline Dependency Chain

golem-crafting                  (root)
crafting-efficiency             (root)
study-fabricator-recipes        (root)
  └── study-wizard-branch
  └── study-physical-branch

3 root disciplines. Maximum dependency depth: 2.

---

11. Acceptance Criteria

#	Criterion
AC-1	Fabricator is locked until the unlock condition is met.
AC-2	All 5 Fabricator disciplines are available when Fabricator is active.
AC-3	study-wizard-branch and study-physical-branch require study-fabricator-recipes.
AC-4	Golem summoning is unlocked at Golem Crafting discipline threshold 200 XP.
AC-5	Golem capacity is 2 (base) + up to 2 (from capped perk) = max 4 from disciplines.
AC-6	Golem slots from attunement level: floor(fabricatorLevel / 2), max 5 at level 10.
AC-7	All recipe unlock perks fire at the correct discipline XP thresholds.
AC-8	Crafting Efficiency discipline reduces material costs by 15% (base) + 10% (perk).
AC-9	Fabricator fabricator_trial puzzle rooms grant bonus progress per Fabricator level.
AC-10	Fabricator level scales raw regen and earth conversion by 1.5^(level-1).
