			You can use the charts at the bottom to determine unrounded level requirements. Each enhancive trait falls in one of 14 tiers. Once
			you have the tier the second chart is for level requirements at each bonus/tier level. The formula to determine level requirement is:

			level = sum (Tier1/5 ... Tierbonus/5) - 0.2
