How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Shaman Stone against Compass to see the 3 to 1 slot gap. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Fragile variants break on death with Dream Gate repair costs in notes, not converted. Unbreakable upgrades keep notch costs identical. Grubfather and Seer gift rows need progress gates in context. Omitted: White Fragment splits, which use palace tables, not notch math.
