Shaman Subclass

The Shaman is the Elf's subclass in Remixed Dungeon.

Elven Shamans can use wands as melee weapons. Successful hits have a chance to activate the wand's power on a target without using a charge.

The Shaman subclass can be unlocked by using a Tome of Mastery after defeating the second boss (Tengu).

• Elven _Shamans_ can use wands as melee weapons
• When attacking with a wand equipped as the primary weapon, there's a 25% chance (implemented as Random.Int(4) == 0) to zap the target with the wand's power without consuming a charge
• This ability is implemented in the attackProc method of HeroSubClass.java (lines 144-153)
• The wand must be equipped as the primary weapon (active weapon) for this mechanic to work
• The wand needs to have charges available and the affectTarget() method must return true
• +1 dew bonus for enhanced mana recovery

• Implementation: The Shaman's special mechanics are implemented in the attackProc method of HeroSubClass.java (lines 144-153)
• Wand Activation: When a Shaman attacks with a wand equipped as the active weapon, there's a 25% chance to zap the enemy with the wand's effect without consuming a charge
• Code Reference: The specific implementation checks if the primary weapon is a wand, and if affectTarget() returns true and Random.Int(4) == 0, then zapCell() is called to zap the enemy without consuming charges

Using an Armor Kit on any armor will transform it into the Shaman Armor, which is specifically designed for this subclass.

• Can use wands as melee weapons
• 25% chance to activate wand powers without consuming charges
• Versatile weapon options combining ranged and melee
• Preserves wand charges when power activates
• Synergizes well with all wand types
• +1 dew bonus for enhanced mana recovery

• Activation chance is not guaranteed (25% chance)
• Wand damage as melee weapon may be lower than dedicated weapons
