gollark: I would prefer to make it so that you just... apply functions to the slots somehow, and the goal is to make your own functions cool and good™ somehow and the opponent's bad.
gollark: It's an interesting idea, but I don't really like how the functions seem somewhat disconnected from the actual health values.
gollark: Is this just a mockup or does it actually work?
gollark: How does "attack" work?
gollark: I like it!
