The women of the Pentacles summoned the Guardians, and the newly arrived Magi paused in shock at the sight. Nine of the Ten were here now, and they made an impressive spectacle, all standing together to assess the capabilities of the newly arrived Magi candidates from the city.
"The potential of these ones is not high, but some of them will complete a core on their own within the year." One of the Guardians decided.
"At least they will be able to grow at that rate here in our territory. But with help, some of them should complete two cores eventually." Another agreed.
That was great news to the Magi in training. The thought that they might one day be Rank Three magic users and among the most powerful people on the continent was incredible. They might finally be able to restore the city to its former glory, and even expand out into the world and bring magic back to the villages where it had been failing for generations.
