hmmmmmm

Talents top at IQ 14...
[10 x Talent IQ x Talent Points]
(10 * 14 * x), or 140 times the cost which works out to 420 exp for
something Like Alchemy...

... 41st point is the tip.
I like the idea but I'm spooked of the numbers here... I like the idea that

Its enough to make me consider religion...
