Notes

• Energy cost for the Chronolith increases by 1 after each use for each of the first 37 uses (10, 11, 12, 13, etc). After 37 uses, the energy cost is doubled (45, 46, 47, 96, 98, 100), and after 74 uses, the energy cost is multiplied by 10 (144, 146, 148, 750, 760, 770).
  • Prior to 2021/03/16, Chronolith energy cost only increased by 1 each time, leading to... shenanigans.
