game.rules — ASHEN VIGIL's constants and rules

The one sheet of paper every slice of ASHEN VIGIL argues from.

require("game.rules") gives the game's constants — the title and the art-direction sentence, the palette in linear RGB, the sun, the three stats and what a level buys, the soul cost curve, the flask, every combat timing (light, heavy, roll, guard, the turn rates, poise), movement and stamina, lock-on, grace, death, the boss and the common foe, and the names of the five slice mounts the scene makes.

It also carries the four pure rules the slices share rather than duplicate: levelCost(level), statsAt(levels), inArc(swingYaw, hitYaw, arcDegrees), and the SLICES list.

It touches no engine API and reads no scene state: it is data and arithmetic, so it can be called from a component, a scene build, a tool or a test with the same answer. A number that lives in two slices is a bug — it lives here instead.

Who reads it: every slice (game.vigil, game.valley, game.foes, game.screens, game.sound) and scenes/main.scene/build.luau.
