Introduction
1. In the default RMMV battle system, doing anything other than calculating the skill/item damage in its damage formula can lead to those side effects unintentionally applied to all possible targets of that skill/item if the actor having it is in autobattle mode as its damage formula will be run to have the evaluated damage value for each target in order to determine which usable skill/item should be used to which possible target
2. This plugin lets you specify a regular expression to use only the desired portions of the damage formula when running the aforementioned evaluation, while still preserving the damage formula as-is when actually executing the action
3. You should try to standardize the damage formula structure so you can write an easy, simple and small regular expression that can always separate the side effects parts from the damage calculation parts

Parameter Info 
*    # Function arguments
 *      1. isEnabled
 *         None
 *      2. sideEffectFreeDmgFormula
 *         dmgFormula - The original damage formula of the skill/item to be
 *                      evaluated when the actor in the autobattle mode
 *                      evaluates which skill/item to be used on which target
 *    # Valid values
 *      1. isEnabled
 *         Any valid Javascript(It'll always be regarded as truthy/falsy)
 *      2. sideEffectFreeDmgFormula
 *         Any valid Javascript returning the damage formula which returns a
 *         Number and has no unintended side effects
 *    # Examples
 *      1. isEnabled
 *         Setting isEnabled as
 *         return $gameSwitches.value(1);
 *         will enable this plugin only if the game switch with id 1 is on
 *      2. sideEffectFreeDmgFormula
 *         Setting sideEffectFreeDmgFormula as
 *         return dmgFormula.replace(new RegExp(.*[};] *, 'gim'), "");
 *         will only use the damage formula portion after the last } or ;
 *         - The following original damage formula:
 *           if ($gameSwitches.value(2)) { b.addState(4); } a.atk * 2 - b.def
 *           Will become:
 *           a.atk * 2 - b.def
 *           Which is a valid damage formula just returning the damage
 *         - The following original damage formula:
 *           b.addState(4); a.atk * 2 - b.def
 *           Will become:
 *           a.atk * 2 - b.def
 *           Which is a valid damage formula just returning the damage
 *         - The following original damage formula:
 *           $gameSwitches.value(2)?(b.addState(4);a.atk*4-b.def*2):a.atk*2-b.def
 *           Will become:
 *           a.atk*4-b.def*2):a.atk*2-b.def
 *           Which is syntactically invalid so the new formula won't be run
