Before you export
Does Life steal transfer health?
The visual does not change health values. Your ability logic performs the transfer.
Can a dark effect use a bright palette?
Yes. Palette changes preserve the source geometry while shifting its color and contrast.
How should I pair a curse with a status?
Use a short cast or sigil for application, then a separate Status cue for the ongoing condition.
