Calm before the storm, eh?
LOL.
By the way, those of you with 10th level magic can no longer scry the Templates of other Powers.
I wonder why ...

Obtaining 11th level magic is no joke, folks.
It's hard, and it was meant to be hard.
To do it, you must first gain the 50 PL in the Magical Arms Race, and gain 10th level magic.
And then ... you must gain another 150 PL in the Magical Arms Race to obtain 11th level magic.
That will cost you 1,500 PL in expenditure to do.
Oh yes, you lose FOUR (4) PL for every 10 PL you put into this research.
So, if you spend 100 PL in such research, your Power loses 40 PL permanently.
If you loan the points to someone else, they lose nothing: you lose the 40 points, and they get the goods.
Now, since it takes 1,500 PL for a single Power to obtain 11th level magic, that would be (calculates it all up ... CHING ... has the answer) 600 PL permanently lost. (The Platinum Uranium Card and the Recover Card might be useful then ...)
And of course, the Power with 11th level magic will then decide, since it is omnipotent over you, what is good for you, what is not good for you, and if you do not do exactly what they tell you, then well you must ... be taught the error of your ways!
