Right. Obviously there is a bit of a difference between the rules
documentation and the implementation. The documentation will have to
describe each rule exactly and in full detail. On programming side,
we'll have to search for things most rules have in common. That is, the
core implementation will be quite abstract. Actual rules will then be
created by passing the right parameters to that abstract implementation.

It's similar with items and spells. To the player, those two are totally
different, but for the engine they will be practically the same.
