-**Damage Formula**
+====== Damage Formula ======
+Using [[plugin-core|MYTH_CGC_CoreEngine]] in your project adds these new variables are available to the damage calculation formula:
+|  **handSize**  | The amount of cards currently in the hand of the user of the skill/card. That number excludes the card being used. |
+|  **discardSize**  | The amount of cards currently in the discard pile of the user. As the card is discarded before damage calculation takes place, that includes the card currently being used. |
+|  **currentDeckSize**  | The amount of cards currently in the deck of the user. |
+|  **totalDeckSize**  | The amount of cards in the user’s deck at the start of the battle before any cards have been drawn. |
+|  **cardsInPlay**  | The user’s handSize + discardSize + currentDeckSize |
+|  **removedCards**  | The amount of cards that the user has removed over the course of battle. This goes up every time the user removes a card. |
+For example, if the player has 7 cards in their hand and they select this skill, it will take them to 6 cards, and the calculation will deal 60 damage.

+**Note**: Enemies do not use cards, and as a result their values for all of these variables will be 0. If an enemy used a skill with the above formula, then, they would deal 0 damage.
+===== Card Types =====
+If you have [[plugin-card-types|MYTH_CGC_CardTypes]], you also have access to this function:
+<code>cardsInZoneOfType(zone, type)</code>
+**zone** must be replaced with “deck” “discard” or “hand” (with quotation marks) for each respective zone.\\ \\ **type** must be replaced with the name of the Card Type you’re checking (with quotation marks).
+This function will tell you how many cards of the specified type are in the specified zone. So if your damage formula says:
+<code>a.cardsInZoneOfType("discard", "Zombie") * 10</code>
+Then the damage dealt will be equal to 10 times the amount of Zombie cards currently in the player’s discard.
+This function can be used just like the variables in the last section for the **Require** keyword.
