Loss and Gains

When one reaches the magus level, sleep becomes an optional activity. However, for thousands of years, apothecaries have struggled to find medicines that can heal mental exhaustion as effectively as good quality sleep. There were a few high-grade pills or divine ingredients that could instantly heal such conditions, but none could match the rejuvenation of sleep, an activity that comes at no cost.

Once he felt somewhat refreshed, he swiftly returned to his Magus Domain.
