Module:ModuleCalculateCost

-----------------------------------------------------------
-- Most modules go up in cost by 1 for every enhancement level
-- Except for sub modules and descendant skills. Those go down in cost.
-- Because this game rule is referenced in multiple lua modules
-- this was broken into its own lua module.
