Description

Sprites are the Technomancer equivalent of summoned spirits. They are digital entities compiled from the resonance and can perform tasks for the Technomancer.

Key mechanics:

Compiling: Create a sprite with a level (opposed test: Resonance + Compiling vs. sprite level × 2). Fading = twice the sprite's hits
Registering: Bind a compiled sprite for longer-term use (extended test, causes fading)
Tasks: Each sprite owes tasks equal to net hits from compiling. Registered sprites owe additional tasks
Sprite Types: Courier, Crack, Data, Fault, Machine (each has different powers and skills)

Acceptance Criteria

Data model for Sprites with type, level, tasks remaining, and registered status
Sprite type enum: Courier, Crack, Data, Fault, Machine
Each sprite type has defined skills and powers
Compiling roll: Resonance + Compiling vs. Level × 2
Fading from compiling calculated and displayed
Task counter: decrement when sprite performs a task
Registered vs. unregistered sprite tracking
UI to compile, register, and manage active sprites
Sprites dismissed when tasks reach 0
Serialization support
