Remarks

A DamageType is intended to define and describe a particular form of damage and to provide an avenue for customizing responses to damage from various sources.

For example, a game could make a DamageType_Fire set it up to ignite the damaged actor.

DamageTypes are never instanced and should be treated as immutable data holders with static code functionality. They should never be stateful.
