Research (Techniques)

Research (aka Researching Techniques) grants the player certain combative abilities and options, which help greatly in both offensive and defensive situations. There are 32 abilities the player can research in total.

Mechanics
Researching operates on a level-based system. There are four levels in total. For example, a level-four ability can only be researched if the abilities before it in that field have been researched. Each ability costs a certain number of tech points and gold to research, depending on which level it is.
