feat(api): integrate equipment stats into combat damage system

Equipment-Combat Integration:
- Update Stats damage formula from STR//2 to int(STR*0.75) for better scaling
- Add spell_power system for magical weapons (staves, wands)
- Add spell_power_bonus field to Stats model with spell_power property
- Add spell_power field to Item model with is_magical_weapon() method
- Update Character.get_effective_stats() to populate spell_power_bonus

Combatant Model Updates:
- Add weapon property fields (crit_chance, crit_multiplier, damage_type)
- Add elemental weapon support (elemental_damage_type, physical_ratio, elemental_ratio)
- Update serialization to handle new weapon properties

DamageCalculator Refactoring:
- Remove weapon_damage parameter from calculate_physical_damage()
- Use attacker_stats.damage directly (includes weapon bonus)
- Use attacker_stats.spell_power for magical damage calculations

Combat Service Updates:
- Extract weapon properties in _create_combatant_from_character()
- Use stats.damage_bonus for enemy combatants from templates
- Remove hardcoded _get_weapon_damage() method
- Handle elemental weapons with split damage in _execute_attack()

Item Generation Updates:
- Add base_spell_power to BaseItemTemplate dataclass
- Add ARCANE damage type to DamageType enum
- Add magical weapon templates (wizard_staff, arcane_staff, wand, crystal_wand)

Test Updates:
- Update test_stats.py for new damage formula (0.75 scaling)
- Update test_character.py for equipment bonus calculations
- Update test_damage_calculator.py for new API signatures
- Update test_combat_service.py mock fixture for equipped attribute

Tests: 174 passing

-            for stat_name, bonus in skill.stat_bonuses.items():
-                current_value = getattr(effective, stat_name)

 ```
 
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
+The `get_effective_stats()` method now applies:
-- Equipped weapons add damage
+1. `stat_bonuses` dict from all equipped items (as before)
-- Equipped armor adds defense/resistance
+2. Weapon `damage` → `damage_bonus`
-- Stat bonuses from items apply correctly
+3. Armor `defense` → `defense_bonus`
-- Skills still apply bonuses
+4. Armor `resistance` → `resistance_bonus`
-- Effects still modify stats
+
+**Tests Added:**
+- `/api/tests/test_stats.py` - 11 new tests for bonus fields
+- `/api/tests/test_character.py` - 6 new tests for equipment combat bonuses
+
+**Acceptance Criteria:** ✅ MET
+- [x] Equipped weapons add damage (via `damage_bonus`)
+- [x] Equipped armor adds defense/resistance (via `defense_bonus`/`resistance_bonus`)
+- [x] Stat bonuses from items apply correctly
+- [x] Skills still apply bonuses
+- [x] Effects still modify stats

+
+#### Task 2.6: Equipment-Combat Integration (4 hours) ✅ COMPLETE
+
+**Objective:** Fully integrate equipment stats into combat damage calculations, replacing hardcoded weapon damage values with effective_stats properties.
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `/api/app/models/stats.py` - Updated damage formula, added spell_power system
+- `/api/app/models/items.py` - Added spell_power field for magical weapons
+- `/api/app/models/character.py` - Populate spell_power_bonus in get_effective_stats()
+- `/api/app/models/combat.py` - Added weapon property fields to Combatant
+- `/api/app/services/combat_service.py` - Updated combatant creation and attack execution
+- `/api/app/services/damage_calculator.py` - Use stats properties instead of weapon_damage param
+
+**Implementation Summary:**
+
+**1. Updated Damage Formula (Stats Model)**
+
+Changed damage scaling from `STR // 2` to `int(STR * 0.75)` for better progression:
+
+```python
+# Old formula
+@property
+def damage(self) -> int:
+    return (self.strength // 2) + self.damage_bonus
+
+# New formula (0.75 scaling factor)
+@property
+def damage(self) -> int:
+    return int(self.strength * 0.75) + self.damage_bonus
+```
+
+**2. Added Spell Power System**
+
+Symmetric system for magical weapons (staves, wands):
+
+```python
+# Stats model additions
+spell_power_bonus: int = 0  # From magical weapons
+
+@property
+def spell_power(self) -> int:
+    """Magical damage: int(INT * 0.75) + spell_power_bonus."""
+    return int(self.intelligence * 0.75) + self.spell_power_bonus
+
+# Item model additions
+spell_power: int = 0  # Spell power bonus for magical weapons
+
+def is_magical_weapon(self) -> bool:
+    """Check if this is a magical weapon (uses spell_power)."""
+    return self.is_weapon() and self.spell_power > 0
+```
+
+**3. Combatant Weapon Properties**
+
+Added weapon properties to Combatant model for combat-time access:
+
+```python
+# Weapon combat properties
+weapon_crit_chance: float = 0.05
+weapon_crit_multiplier: float = 2.0
+weapon_damage_type: Optional[DamageType] = None
+
+# Elemental weapon support
+elemental_damage_type: Optional[DamageType] = None
+physical_ratio: float = 1.0
+elemental_ratio: float = 0.0
+```
+
+**4. DamageCalculator Refactored**
+
+Removed `weapon_damage` parameter - now uses `attacker_stats.damage` directly:
+
+```python
+# Old signature
+def calculate_physical_damage(
+    attacker_stats: Stats,
+    defender_stats: Stats,
+    weapon_damage: int,  # Separate parameter
+    ...
+)
+
+# New signature
+def calculate_physical_damage(
+    attacker_stats: Stats,  # stats.damage includes weapon bonus
+    defender_stats: Stats,
+    ...
+)
+
+# Formula now uses:
+base_damage = attacker_stats.damage + ability_base_power  # Physical
+base_damage = attacker_stats.spell_power + ability_base_power  # Magical
+```
+
+**5. Combat Service Updates**
+
+- `_create_combatant_from_character()` extracts weapon properties from equipped weapon
+- `_create_combatant_from_enemy()` uses `stats.damage_bonus = template.base_damage`
+- Removed hardcoded `_get_weapon_damage()` method
+- `_execute_attack()` handles elemental weapons with split damage
+
+**Tests Updated:**
+- `/api/tests/test_stats.py` - Updated damage formula tests (0.75 scaling)
+- `/api/tests/test_character.py` - Updated equipment bonus tests
+- `/api/tests/test_damage_calculator.py` - Removed weapon_damage parameter from calls
+- `/api/tests/test_combat_service.py` - Added `equipped` attribute to mock fixture
+
+**Test Results:** 140 tests passing for all modified components
+
+**Acceptance Criteria:** ✅ MET
+- [x] Damage uses `effective_stats.damage` (includes weapon bonus)
+- [x] Spell power uses `effective_stats.spell_power` (includes staff/wand bonus)
+- [x] 0.75 scaling factor for both physical and magical damage
+- [x] Weapon crit chance/multiplier flows through to combat
+- [x] Elemental weapons support split physical/elemental damage
+- [x] Enemy combatants use template base_damage correctly
+- [x] All existing tests pass with updated formulas
