ok, a brief explanation of exponential: increasing at an increasing rate...
i.e- 1,3,5,7,9,11 is NOT exponential, it increases by 2 each time
1,3,6,10,15,21 IS exponential- it increases by 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 then 6.
1,8,200,847285,296328016974,136085987587245078025467 is also exponential as it firstly increases by 7, then 192 then whatever- every time it goes up it goes up more than it did last time.
Binary is a great way to show this- that goes 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024, etc. each time it goes up by more than it did before.
basically, what kefka (im guessing) meant to say was it is negatively exponential- eg, the damage increase from a +10 ATP each time would go something like:
10 6 4 3 2.5 2.25
+10 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10
