+/**
+ * This is a component that implements a mathematical formula used commonly throughout the
+ * game. This formula is (typically) used to calculate the effect that various statistics
+ * have on a game mechanic. It looks something like:
+ *
+ *  (stat ^ exponential factor) + (stat / linear factor)
+ *
+ * where the exponential factor is a number between 0 and 1 and the linear factor
+ * is typically a relatively larger number.
+ *
+ * This formula ensures that the effects of the statistic that is being processed
+ * has diminishing returns, but never loses its effectiveness as you continue
+ * to raise it.
+ *
+ * There are two implementations of this component. One is simply a function that
+ * can be called with the stat and the exponential/linear factors. The other is a
+ * class where the exponential and linear factors are defined upon construction.
