	~~Under normal circumstances~~, ~~movement takes the usual amount of time~~, ~~and make~~ attacks ~~based on that time~~. For example, ~~lets say you move~~ at 1.0 decaAut. ~~If you have a weapon delay of 0.7~~, ~~you'll always perform 1~~ attack ~~on a move~~ (~~taking 0.7 /~~ 1.0 ~~of the time), and have a 3/7 (0.3~~ / ~~0.7) chance for a 2nd attack. As an extreme example, a [[Naga]] (~~1.~~4 move delay~~) ~~with a [[rapier]] (0~~.~~5 attack delay) would attack 2 times per move, with an 80~~% ~~chance of a 3rd attack~~.		If attack delay >= movement delay, then one attack will be made per move, with slower attacks damage having their damage proportionally lowered. For example, if moving at 1.0 decaAut but attacking at 1.2 decaAut, one attack will be made at (1.0/1.2) = 83.3% damage.

	While under Serpent's Lash, ~~your~~ movement delay is always treated as 1.0 decaAut, regardless of your actual movement delay. Wall Jump counts as 2 actions, so it doubles your movement delay.		If movement delay > attack delay, then there is a chance to make extra attacks relative to attack delay. If moving at 1.0 decaAut but attacking at 0.7 decaAut, one attack will always be made (taking 0.7 / 1.0 of the time), with a 3/7 (0.3 / 0.7) chance for a 2nd attack. As an extreme example, a [[Naga]] (1.4 move delay) with a [[rapier]] (0.5 attack delay) would attack 2 times per move, with an 80% chance of a 3rd attack.
