Techniques List

Introduction
I've tried to list techniques in the order in which you can acquire them,
although because they are sorted by location, you sometimes must return to an
area to acquire techniques that are not available the first time through.
I have attempted to avoid spoilers where possible, and have listed the areas in
the orders in which you get there. Because you can access Lord Lao's Furnace
at any time after it is unlocked, I have listed it at the end of the guide, as
well as the techniques from Zin Bu, as they are accessible at various points
throughout the story.
