+====== Cooldown ======
+Cooldown is a timing mechanism in Remixed Dungeon that governs how frequently certain abilities, items, or effects can be used or reoccur.
+==== Description ====
+Cooldown refers to the waiting period that must pass before a specific ability, item, or effect can be used again. This prevents overuse of powerful abilities and adds strategic timing to gameplay.
+==== Types of Cooldowns ====
+  * **Item Cooldowns** - Time before certain items can be used again
+  * **Ability Cooldowns** - Time before special abilities can be activated
+  * **Buff Cooldowns** - Time intervals for buff effect updates
+  * **Hero Ability Cooldowns** - Class-specific ability timing restrictions
+==== Mechanics ====
+  * **Turn-Based:** Cooldowns typically count down with each turn
+  * **Duration:** Varies depending on the specific ability or item
+  * **Stacking:** Multiple cooldowns can occur simultaneously
+  * **Reduction:** Some items or effects may reduce cooldown duration
+  * **Reset:** Cooldowns may reset under certain conditions
+==== Items with Cooldowns ====
+  * Several artifacts have cooldown periods
+  * Some special weapons may have cooldowns
+  * Potions with lasting effects may have cooldowns before reuse
+  * Scroll-like items with rechargeable properties
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Plan actions around cooldown periods
+  * Avoid using high-cooldown abilities inappropriately
+  * Consider cooldown reduction items for frequently used abilities
+  * Time important abilities to make the most of cooldown periods
+  * Be aware of simultaneous cooldowns that might conflict
+==== Class and Subclass Abilities ====
+  * Some subclass abilities have cooldowns between uses
+  * Certain hero classes have abilities with cooldown periods
+  * Cooldowns balance powerful class-specific abilities
+==== Special Considerations ====
+  * Cooldowns affect tactical decision-making in combat
+  * Some items or conditions can reduce cooldown periods
+  * Cooldown mechanics may interact with speed or time effects
+  * Understanding cooldowns is key to efficient resource management
