Give a hurt player a moment of safety without making lava harmless

After a hit the hero blinks and cannot be hurt for a moment, which stops being hit three times in one second. But done naively it also makes steady burning damage useless, or lets a trap hurt every frame. This entry sorts out which damage obeys the safe time.

Why this works

The safe time exists to stop one burst of attacks from counting many times. Steady burning is not a burst, it is a slow, deliberate pressure. So protection should answer sudden hits only, and leave constant danger alone.

When not to use it

Skip it in games where being hit is meant to be dangerous and quick, such as a tough survival game, or where many weak enemies are the challenge. There, give each enemy its own short wait before it can hit again.
