After everyone calmed down and just decided in their heads they wouldn't be surprised anymore no matter what he showed, Darian asked for some info on a few important points.
Mazur explained what he wanted. To complete the trial, everyone needed to fill up their core and assimilate it a hundred times. But unfortunately, the system didn't explain one crucial part: every time someone filled the core, the next time would demand an even greater amount of energy.
In the end, someone who had already completed the cycle ninety times would need the equivalent of the energy of a thousand people who had less than ten cycles.
Because of that, for someone at the level of the sect leader to complete his core, he would need to fully absorb a lower-level eruption. If, in every eruption, leaders and High Elders fought to absorb them... the result would be total chaos, with bloody battles happening all the time.
