Skill Upgrade
Version: 1.07
Author: Kread-EX

Introduction
Allows to upgrade/downgrade skills with either JP, gold, or a game variable. It was requested by Rukaroa based on Yanfly's game Generation Overzeal.

Features

• Ability to upgrade and downgrade skills.
• 3 possible "currencies". JP (with the JP Manager), gold or a custom game variable.
• Skills can morph into another one after a certain level.
• Probably more but I never know what to type in this section.

Instructions
Before everything, you should put this script below the JP Manager if you intend to use JP for upgrade.

To call the scene use this in a call script event command:
 SceneManager.call(Scene_Upgrade)
Default configuration
The script has a configuration section, where you set up the default behavior (common for all skills). It’s commented, but there’s one particularly important one:
 

# Default upgrade formula.UPGRADE_FORMULA = "cost * level"This formula calculates the JP cost for the next level. It’ll be evaluated, so please enter valid Ruby syntax. Note that “cost” refers to the base JP cost and “level” to the next skill level.

Tagging skills
You can tag each skill to make it behave differently from the default. You can put the following tags in the skill’s notebox:
 

<upgrade_cost: x>This is the base cost of the skill.
 

<upgrade_formula: string>The formula to calculate the JP/Gold/Variable cost. Overrides the default formula and needs to be valid Ruby syntax.
 

<max_level: x>The maximum level a skill can attain.
 

<upgrade_damage: x>Every level, the skill’s damage will raise by x%.
 

<upgrade_mp: x>Every level, the skill’s MP cost will raise by x%.
 

<upgrade_tp: x>Every level, the skill’s TP cost will raise by x%.
 

<level_morph: x, y>At level X, skill will become skill Y. This is a one-way process and downgrade won’t be available after a morphing.

Compatibility notes
Integrates well in menus made by Yanfly. Shouldn't be used with Grathnode Install.
