===== Damage Equation =====

Throw damage is calculated by the following equation.

                    Damage = (Caster_Speed * ThrownWeaponPower)

The range and effect of Throw are M/1 (line of sight), where** M is equal to 
your 'Move' statistic.**

The 'Thrower' is the unit throwing the weapon, and the 'Target' is the unit 
being attacked. **Let 'Sp0' be the thrower's initial Speed**, given on the 
status screen. 
 

  1. If Target has DefenseUP, then (Sp1 = [Sp0 * 2/3]), else Sp1 = Sp0
  2. If Target has Protect, then (Sp2 = [Sp1 * 2/3]), else Sp2 = Sp1
  3. If Target is Charging, then (Sp3 = [Sp2 * 3/2]), else Sp3 = Sp2
  4. If Target is Sleeping, then (Sp4 = [Sp3 * 3/2]), else Sp4 = Sp3
  5. If Target is a Frog and/or Chicken, then (Sp5 = [Sp4 * 3/2]), else 
     Sp5 = Sp4
  6. Apply zodiac multipliers:
           If compatibility is 'Best', then (Sp6 = Sp5 + [(Sp5)/2])
           ElseIf compatibility is 'Good', then (Sp6 = Sp5 + [(Sp5)/4]))
           ElseIf compatibility is 'Bad', then (Sp6 = Sp5 - [(Sp5)/4])
           ElseIf compatibility is 'Worst', then (Sp6 = Sp5 - [(Sp5)/2])
           Else compatibility is "Neutral", then Sp6 = Sp5
           
  Damage Calculation:       
  
  7. Damage0 = Sp6 * (ThrownWpnPwr)
  8. If Target is 'Weak' against the weapon's element, then
         damage1 = damage0 * 2
       Else, damage1 = damage0
  9. If Target has 'Half' against the weapon's element, then
         damage2 = [damage1 / 2]
       Else, damage2 = damage1
  10. If Target has 'Absorb' against the weapon's element, then
         damage3 = -(damage2)
       Else, damage3 = damage2
  11. The damage done by the THROW attack will be equal to damage3.
