Core implementation pattern for handling weighted necromancy skill level (extended) logic with clean state management.

class WeightedNecromancySkillLevelExtendedManager {
  tier = 1;
  progress = 0;

  addXP(amount: number) {
    this.progress += amount;
    while (this.progress >= this.xpToNext()) {
      this.progress -= this.xpToNext();
      this.tier++;
      this.onLevelUp();
    }
  }

  xpToNext() {
    return Math.floor(200 * Math.pow(1.2, this.tier - 1));
  }

  onLevelUp() {
    // Grant rewards for level tier
    this.mastery += 2;
  }
}

Stat Growth Formula

Optimized pattern for weighted necromancy skill level (extended) that minimizes per-frame computation cost.

const talentTree = {
  nodes: [
    { id: "foundation", cost: 2, requires: [], effect: "+10% damage" },
    { id: "power_strike", cost: 2, requires: ["foundation"], effect: "+25% damage, unlock combo" },
    { id: "master_skill", cost: 8, requires: ["power_strike"], effect: "+50% damage, unlock ultimate" },
  ],

  canUnlock(nodeId: string, points: number, unlocked: Set<string>) {
    const node = this.nodes.find(n => n.id === nodeId);
    if (!node || unlocked.has(nodeId)) return false;
    return points >= node.cost
      && node.requires.every(r => unlocked.has(r));
  }
};
