Heal from damage that was really dealt, not from overkill

A vampire-style weapon that heals by a share of damage sounds easy, until a huge blow on a nearly dead rat fully heals the hero, or small hits heal nothing at all. This entry shows what counts as dealt damage and what to do with the leftovers.

Why this works

Healing is a reward for harm that really happened. Counting only what the target lost closes the loophole of hitting something nearly dead as hard as possible, and keeping the leftover fractions makes small hits count over time.

When not to use it

Skip it when healing should come from a choice, not from fighting, such as a game built around potions and rest. Also skip it for weak enemies in huge swarms, where it makes the hero immortal.
