====== Leech Enchantment ======

{{ rpd:images:leech_enchantment.png|Leech Enchantment }}

The Leech enchantment is a weapon enchantment that heals the wielder for a portion of the damage dealt when hitting an enemy. This creates a sustain mechanic for melee combat, allowing players to recover health while dealing damage.

==== Description ====
The Leech enchantment provides life steal functionality, converting a percentage of damage dealt into healing for the attacker. The enchantment glows with a dark red color when active.

==== Mechanics ====
  * **Proc Chance**: Based on weapon level and damage dealt
  * **Healing Formula**: The healing amount is calculated as follows:
    * Maximum heal value: damage * (level + 2) / (level + 6)
    * Actual heal: Random value between 0 and max, capped by missing HP
    * Only heals if the attacker has missing HP
  * **Level Scaling**:
    * Level 0: ~33% of damage (max)
    * Level 1: ~43% of damage (max)
    * Level 2: ~50% of damage (max)
    * Higher levels continue to improve the ratio
  * **Visual Effect**: Shows healing amount as green numbers above the character
  * **Glow Color**: Dark red (RGB: 0x660022)

==== Strategy ====
  * Most effective on fast-hitting weapons that deal consistent damage
  * Provides sustain in prolonged fights, reducing reliance on healing potions
  * Less effective when at full health (no healing occurs)
  * Works well with high-damage weapons for larger healing bursts
  * Can be the difference between life and death in difficult encounters

==== Source Code ====
  * Java Implementation: [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/items/weapon/enchantments/Leech.java|Leech.java]]
  * The effect is applied in the proc() method
  * Healing amount scales with weapon level using the formula: damage * (level + 2) / (level + 6)
  * Only heals if attacker has missing HP (attacker.ht() - attacker.hp() > 0)
  * Uses Random.IntRange() for variability in healing amount

  * The enchantment name and description are defined in the weapon enchantment string resources
