Inscription cost examples:

              fireball  -+-  jta
cipher: ogrish malison  -+-  tier 1

The above would cost 3 inscription points (2 for
the fireball inscription, and 1 for a cipher at
tier 1).

              fireball  -+-  jta
  transient alteration  -+-  yd

The above would cost 4 inscription points (2 for
the fireball inscription, and 2 for the transient
alteration inscription).

              fireball  -+-  jta yd

The above would cost 5 inscription points (2 for the
first fireball inscription, and 3 for the second).

              fireball  -+-  jta yd ra
  transient alteration  -+-  bal
cipher: ogrish malison  -+-  tier 2

The above would cost 13 inscription points (a total of
2 + 3 + 4 = 9 for the fireball inscriptions, 2 for the
transient alteration inscription, and 1 for each tier
of the cipher).
