I'm a little confused. Let's say, if the OL purchases one point of purple treachery for 20XP, he then swaps a treachery card for a base overlord card (which goes in the graveyard) every dungeon? So rather than swap ALL 1 point purple cards at the time of purchase, he progressively stacks his deck with the one point cards? Furthermore, is he then required to pay the threat cost to play it?
Not quite.
Once you buy treachery you have the option of swapping out cards from the OL deck equal to the treachery value. The base cards do not go into the graveyard, they are just set aside for that dungeon. They return to the OL deck at the end of the dungeon and the treachery cards go back into the treachery deck. At the start of the next dungeon you may swap in the same or different treachery card(s). You do not slowly convert your deck to treachery.
So:
1) At the start of a dungeon, start with the base OL deck.
2) Select treachery card(s) equal to the number of treachery points you have purchased. For example, if you have two Event treachery you may purchase two 1 point cards or one 2 point card.
3) For each treachery card purchased, set aside one OL base card.
4) Play dungeon.
5) After dungeon, remove treachery cards and replace them with the base OL cards you set aside.
Of course, if you like the treachery card you used you can just leave it in the deck for the next dungeon. The key is you can swap treachery cards used each dungeon.
