Chapter 1228: Cracking Down on Black Mages’ Activities
Setting up an interplanar teleportation array solely to transport initiates would not be worth the cost.
However, the cost of transporting them within the Magus World was relatively low, as each activation’s expense was directly tied to the life levels of the creatures using the array.
How much energy could beings below Rank One possibly consume?
Besides, the Divine Tower of Ashes had only recently been established. Both its faculty and curriculum were still in their infancy.
Even if a large number of initiates were recruited, the tower would not be able to fully develop their potential just yet.
At this stage, the Divine Tower of Ashes would reach capacity with around two thousand initiates.
However, during the screening process in Ashenreach, the number of qualified initiates had been extremely limited.
House Grantt and House Farion had already traveled extensively throughout Ashenreach in recent years.
Even so, after over six months of recruitment efforts, only around two hundred initiates had been gathered.
And that was with the Divine Tower of Ashes relaxing its standards as much as possible.
They had lowered the minimum mental focus requirement and raised the age limit.
Now, any initiate in Ashenreach with an initial focus of 8 points or higher and under the age of forty was eligible to enroll.
