Stack buffs and debuffs without the numbers getting out of hand

Three small boosts from three items and a spell can multiply into a hero who one-shots the final boss, or the same spell cast twice counts double. This entry shows how to group bonuses so stacking stays predictable and the displayed number is always the one used.

Why this works

The same bonuses give different totals depending on the order they are added in. One fixed recipe with limits at both ends lets every item and spell fit, keeps repeated casts from piling up, and makes the screen and the fight agree.

When not to use it

Skip it when stacking is the whole joy, as in games built around absurdly huge numbers: drop the limits there and tune the enemies to match. Also skip it for tiny games with two or three stats, where simple adding is enough.
