-	The first step is to split up the attack into constituent parts, for example, pellet-based attacks will be split up into one unit per pellet, ~~and combinations such as an electrified metal spear will be~~ split up ~~into two units, one for electric and one for metal~~.	+	The first step is to split up the attack into constituent parts, for example, pellet-based attacks will be split up into one unit per pellet. However, attacks which have multiple types do not get split up at this stage.

-	Next, ~~we look at~~ the ~~stats~~ of the ~~attacker and defender~~.	+	Next, calculate the Base Damage for the attack:
-	*For Material ~~attacks,~~ Base Damage = Attacker's Power × Attacker's Offense ÷ Attacker's Volatile ~~× Defender's Offense × Defender's Volatile~~.	+	#Count the total number of Material types and the total number of Volatile types involved in the attack.
-	*For Volatile attacks, Base Damage = Attacker'~~s Power × Attacker~~'~~s Offense × Attacker~~'~~s Volatile × Defender~~'~~s Offense ÷ Defender's Volatile.~~	+	#Type Factor := [(# Volatile types) - (# Material types)] ÷ # Total types
		+	#Base Damage := Attacker's Power × Attacker's Offense × (Attacker's Volatile ^ Type Factor). ''where (a^b) means a raised to the power b''

	Next, we do the accuracy calculation. If the accuracy is exactly 100%, this step does not need to be performed, leaving two cases that need to be dealt with in this step: case 1, when the accuracy is < 100%, and case 2, when the accuracy is > 100%; in the latter case, the attack power is supplemented with energy drawn from the character's surroundings (because it's, you know, freaking epic). With a high enough accuracy, what tends to happen is the attacking character simultaneously deals massive damage to the enemy in front while healing the ally behind.

-	The final step is to look at the body/armor of the defender. (to be ~~written~~)	+	The final step is to look at the body/armor of the defender. We calculate the attack as a ray from the source (usually the attacking character, but may be different, for example in the case of lightning bolts) to the target (taking the accuracy calculation into account of course). We then find all the body/armor parts that intersect that ray and sort them based on the distance along the ray, with the closest part to the attacker coming first. Now we initialize the variable Damage to Base Damage, and for each part in the list, in order, do the following:
		+	#Multiply Damage by the appropriate factor from the type chart.
		+	#*for example, if the attack is Arcane-type, and the currently defending part is Rock-type, we multiply it by 200%.
		+	#If Damage is negative, immediately exit this loop and run the absorption algorithm.
		+	#Part Damage := Damage × Defender's Offense ÷ (Defender's Volatile ^ Type Factor). ''where ''Type Factor'' is the same value we calculated earlier''
		+	#Look at the health of the part, where 100% is full health and 0% is dead.
		+	#Damage := Damage × (100% - Part Health). ''this value will be carried over to the next iteration of the loop''
		+	#Part Health := Part Health - Part Damage
		+	#If Part Health is zero or negative, kill/destroy the part (whatever this may involve is specific to the type of part).
		+	#If Damage is zero, immediately exit the loop, otherwise, continue to the next part.
		+	Note that the loop will continue as far as the range of the attack, until something absorbs the attack, or until Damage is reduced to zero.

-	Next, we do the accuracy ~~sampling~~. ~~This~~ is the ~~complicated part~~, and ~~implementing Keiji's design for this~~ in ~~full will probably require calculus. It also splits up each part of~~ the attack from ~~step 1 into more sub-parts~~.	+	Next, we do the accuracy calculation. If the accuracy is exactly 100%, this step does not need to be performed, leaving two cases that need to be dealt with in this step: case 1, when the accuracy is < 100%, and case 2, when the accuracy is > 100%; in the latter case, the attack power is supplemented with energy drawn from the character's surroundings (because it's, you know, freaking epic). With a high enough accuracy, what tends to happen is the attacking character simultaneously deals massive damage to the enemy in front while healing the ally behind.

-	~~WIP~~	+	For case 1, no supplement needs to be considered, but the attack needs to be spread out. At the extreme case of 0% accuracy, the attack exhibits a uniform distribution through all possible angles of the sphere. As accuracy improves towards 100%, the mean and standard deviation of the (normally distributed) defect angles approaches zero. A defect angle ∠TargetLatitude is chosen by the RNG and a second angle ∠TargetLongitude is chosen using a uniform distribution. These two angles are then combined to determine the direction in which the attack is fired.

-	<!-~~- Random mathsy notes: Choose~~ a ~~defect angle running from 0~~ to ~~180 degrees as~~ accuracy ~~runs from 100% to 0%~~. ~~Then we randomly select~~ the ~~actual~~ attack ~~angle, using a normal distribution where~~ the ~~mean is the defect angle~~ and ~~the SD is proportional~~ to ~~the defect angle~~ in ~~some way~~. ~~It must~~ be ~~calculated so that when accuracy is zero~~, ~~there is~~ a ~~uniform distribution~~ of the ~~probability~~ of ~~firing~~ the ~~attack at any particular angle on the sphere~~. ~~-->~~	+	For case 2, the target of the attack is always dead-on. However, a similar method is used to determine the parameters for the energy source; the reciprocal of the accuracy is used, and the target direction undergoes a polar flip. This means that the attack (part) becomes two sub-parts; one for the attack proper, and another to heal whatever was in the other direction.
