Closes the JSON round-trip gap on the DK rune cost catalog
format shipped this batch. --export-wrun-json emits all 9
scalar fields plus a dual int + name form for spellTreeBranch
(4 values) so hand-edits can use either representation.
--import-wrun-json accepts either form. Verified byte-
identical round-trip on all three preset emitters (starter
3-cost / blood-tree 4-cost / frost-tree 4-cost).
849 documented CLI flags.
62nd open format — replaces RuneCost.dbc plus the DK-specific
portions of ChrPowerType. Defines per-spell rune costs (Blood
/ Frost / Unholy) and runic-power generation / consumption
for the Death Knight class.
4 spell tree branches (BloodTree / FrostTree / UnholyTree /
Generic) classify which spec uses each rune cost. Each entry
binds a spell to its rune cost (how many of each rune kind
the spell consumes), an optional anyDeathConvertCost (extra
Death-rune-acceptable cost for procced abilities), and a
runicPowerCost (negative = generator, positive = spender).
Cross-references with prior formats — spellId points at
WSPL.spellId (the spell that uses this rune cost).
CLI: --gen-rune (3 baseline DK abilities — Death Strike
1F+1U + 20RP gen, Frost Strike pure 40 RP spender, Heart
Strike 1B + 10RP gen), --gen-rune-blood (4 blood-tree DK
abilities — Heart Strike, Death and Decay AoE, Vampiric
Blood tank cooldown, Rune Tap self-heal), --gen-rune-frost
(4 frost-tree — Frost Strike, Howling Blast AoE, Obliterate
finisher, Icy Touch ranged opener applying Frost Fever),
--info-wrun, --validate-wrun with --json variants. Validator
catches id+name+spellId required, branch 0..3, no rune cost
> 2 (DK only has 2 of each rune type so a higher cost can
never be paid), runicPowerCost > 100 (DK RP cap), no-cost
warning (spell consumes nothing — verify it's a
passive/stance/form), and high-RP-generator warning (> 25
RP per cast is unusual).
