==Offsets Pertinent to Techs==

All offsets given in terms of an unheadered Chrono Trigger ROM.
<pre>
0x02BD40 ~ 0x?????: Tech names and descriptions that appear in the character status menus.
 The data are arranged like so: FF NN
  FF: Tech index of a character's first tech.
  NN: First tech index of the next character's first tech.
  Thus, Crono's data is 01 09; 01 is the index of Cyclone, and 09 is the index of Marle's Aura.
  Magus' techs are encompassed by 31 39; perhaps 39 pertains to the double tech Aura Whirl?

0xC0230 ~ 0xC0236: Tech learning progress (00 - 08)
  Index of last tech learned. 

0xC0237 ~ 0xC023D: Techs learned (bitflags)
 Techs learned in the current group. 80 - tech 1.

0x0C15CF ~ 0x0C1ACA: Tech names (11 bytes each)
 See the alphabet section for appropriate values.
 Tech names are supported in Temporal Flux as well.


0x0C23EB ~ 0x0C247A: Some extra data for 12 combo techs.  
 (4th = Crono's Confuse power, 5th = Triple Kick power, 9th = Double Cure?, 
  10th = Grand Dream, 11th = Twin Charm?, 12th = Slurp Kiss)

0x0C253C ~ 0x0C2573: Tech MP cost (1 byte per tech)
 56 techs total (Cyclone through Dark Matter)

0x0C2577 ~ 0x0C257F: Redundant MP Costs (Confuse, Triple Kick, Life2, Charm, Slurp Cut, Cure2, Frog Squash, Charm, Kiss)

0x0C29D7 ~ 0x0C2AD6: "Stat increase" values 
 (The "Item Secondary" byte "04" points to this array): 128 elements, 2 bytes per element
 Byte 1 = Stats to change:
  Power ~ 80
  Speed ~ 40
  Stamina ~ 20
  Hit ~ 10
  Evade ~ 8
  Magic ~ 4
  Magic Defense ~ 2

 You can combine stats to change, but they will all be changed by the same amount.

 Byte 2 = Change:
  00 - 7F: Increase by 0 to 127
  80 - FF: Decrease by 128 to 1


0x3DA89D ~ 0x?????: Tech names and descriptions that appear in the character battle menus.
 The data are arranged like so: FF NN
  FF: Tech index of a character's first tech.
  NN: First tech index of the next character's first tech.
  Thus, Crono's data is 01 09; 01 is the index of Cyclone, and 09 is the index of Marle's Aura.
  Magus' techs are encompassed by 31 39; perhaps 39 pertains to the double tech Aura Whirl?

Lots of people need to be thanked for this, including Justin3009, Mauron, Maelstrom, and AdNova. The list will grow...
