+# Ability and Talent Tuning
+
+The main-menu **GM Menu** exposes **Ability & Talent Tuning** to authenticated
+GMs. It is a full-screen DOM tool intended for fast local combat iteration. The
+catalog can be searched and filtered by class, and the selected entry exposes
+its source values beside editable runtime percentages.
+
+## Ability overrides
+
+Ability overrides are keyed by stable ability ID. Each field is expressed as a
+percentage of the source catalog value: `100` preserves the source, `50` halves
+it, and `200` doubles it. The editor supports:
+
+- cooldown;
+- cast or channel time;
+- resource cost;
+- direct, periodic, finisher, and summon damage;
+- direct, periodic, and absorb healing;
+- aura, control, summon, and periodic duration;
+- area radius, chain reach, and ground reach.
+
+`src/game/balanceTuning.ts` normalizes and applies the policy.
+`src/game/abilityCatalog.ts` retains the authored catalog separately and
+rebuilds its live definitions whenever the GM applies a draft. This prevents
+percentage changes from compounding when the editor is opened repeatedly.
+
+## Talent overrides
+
+Talent overrides can scale every supported passive modifier parsed from a
+talent tooltip. They can also add a signed percentage-point modifier per learned
+rank for damage, healing, critical chance, haste, costs, cooldowns, durations,
+range, threat, attributes, defenses, or resources.
+
+On-use talents are not passive modifiers. Inner Focus is explicitly excluded
+from passive tooltip parsing. Activating its ability grants a temporary aura;
+the next direct single-target or area heal costs no resource, gains 25
+percentage points of critical chance, keeps its ordinary cast time, and consumes
+the aura. Tune its cooldown and aura duration from the Abilities tab.
+
+## Persistence and scope
+
+The normalized policy is stored per device under
+`healer-man:balance-tuning:v1`. Applying it updates player abilities, NPC
+companion abilities, and client-side test runs that use the live browser
+catalog. **Reset ability**, **Reset talent**, and **Reset all** remove overrides
+without changing authored or generated source data.
+
+This first editor is intentionally a local sandbox. Server Balance Lab jobs run
+in a separate process and do not read browser local storage; permanent balance
+changes should still be moved into authored source data after local validation.
+
+## Heirloom ratings
+
+Virtual heirlooms include specialization-aware critical-strike and haste
+ratings for strength, agility, ranged, spell-damage, and healer profiles.
+Protection tank gear instead prioritizes defense, avoidance, block, stamina,
+and expertise. `src/game/wotlkStats.ts` converts the ratings at the character's
+level into melee, ranged, and spell critical/haste percentages. Both player and
+party heirlooms continue to cap at item level 79.
