Talk:Anomaly (category)

Hi everyone, BrightUniverse here.

I've been playing a flux-based Paradox mage these past few days, and realized that the wiki could really use a page that keeps track of all of the different anomalies. I'll be working on filling these in over the next week or so, but if you want to help out you can find them all in the source code at game>modules>tome-1.3.1.team>data>talents>chronomancy>anomalies.lua

Right now I have all of the anomalies listed as talents (since they're defined that way in the game code), but they have a few key differences that makes me think that we might need a new Template:Anomaly box.

- Not only do Anomalies have a type (e.g. "chronomancy/anomalies"), they have a third anomaly_type variable (like "warp" or "temporal"). However, I'm not sure if anomaly_type matters for anything, so I don't know if it's worth including in the box except for completeness' sake.

- Unlike other talents, Anomalies don't have cooldowns, resource costs, or images associated with them. If we use the Template:Ability box, there will be a lot of empty spaces.

- Anomalies have their own functions to define Damage, AoE radius, Effect Power, Duration, and (occasionally) Range. Most of these are just combatScale of ParadoxSpellpower with a bit of randomness thrown in, but I'm not sure how to represent that on the page. Should I create new templates for each of these functions and add them to a new section on the Scaling page? Alternately, I could stick the functions right here on the anomaly page, but that seems to be against the standards.
