-   The effect of the unified damage in crossfire has some bad effects - f
or 

- attacktypes which are really effects (paralyze, slow), the duration of t

the

onable

-   If those are separated out, it allows much finer tuning of objects.  I
t would 

- actually lower the power, as a weapon that currently has physical + fire
 with 

- dam 30 should be changed so that it's dam_phys + dam_fire = ~30.  For 
sake of 

- argument, lets say it is an even split of 15/15.

-   If your using that weapon fighting fire resistant creatures, you'll st
ill do 

- 15 physical, but much less fire.  So I think it would make it less clear
 what

on has, 

- the better basically.
