A Fork in the Road

At this point, Sunders explained about some of the experiments on the fitness of channeling methods.

"The quantization for the fitness of a spirit model was proposed by the 'Wizard of All' Runeborg. It's too controversial, so the idea was only known between wizards, rarely by apprentices.

"Runeborg defined the fitness between a spirit model and its user as 0-100. Someone with the fitness of over 20 is considered impressive and is very likely to become a wizard.

"As I mentioned, common channeling methods like the Triangle Channeling can both make someone a wizard or cause them to waste their lives. Such methods have absolutely no guarantee over their fitness level. Someone lucky enough might do well with the Triangle Channeling and break through the barrier preventing him to become a wizard, thus finding immortality. Other people who have zero fitness may never make it into Elementary Apprentices.
