Technique Cost Breakdown

For people who don't want to bother with the complicated table, this simplified version has been left for posterity. Otherwise, see the lower section.
=Simplified Table=
 1p+l (p=previous cost, l=level)
 -Tech 1 = 1
 -Tech 2 = 3
 -Tech 3 = 6
 -Tech 4 = 10
 -Tech 5 = 15
 -Tech 6 = 21
 -Tech 7 = 28
 -Tech 8 = 36
 -Tech 9 = 45
 -Tech 10 = 55
 
 -Total = 220

Below is the breakdown for tech costs. Both how many tech points are needed per level and how many points are needed to buy each tech point are listed.
This follows the cost for single-slot techs. If you split the cost across multiple slots, the costs are altered. Take the total combined level of the tech, add 1 to that for every additional slot used, and that new level is where you begin to track the costs.
The pattern goes 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, etc. Essentially, the cost is repeated by its own value minus one. As you level up, you start over at the next position in the chain. For instance, the first five levels are 1, 2-3-3, 3-3-4-4-4-5, 3-4-4-4-5-5-5-5-5-6, and 4-4-4-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-6-7-7-7.
In order to level each technique, you need a number of techniques equal to the highest number listed in the "Cost of each level in techs" for that level's section. For example, to get to level 4, you need 10 techniques.
