You would think just casting should be easy, right? Acolytes should be able to grow very fast using this method, and would only be concerned with truly applying themselves when they reach rank 50 in a discipline or skill, but you would be wrong.
Think of a man working out; he lifts heavy weights to gain muscle, but if he does not rest and recover, he will never gain any new muscle mass.
This sort of growth is similar for a mage, but slightly different. After I cast spells and used my skills, obviously, there was growth, but what you did not see were the hidden strain on my channels and my Anima Depth.
Okay, let's take a step back, and I will explain how magic works inside my body.
Think of my Anima Depth like a reservoir filled with fuel, or a more likely example would be a tank filled with a gaseous substance that can become the base for anything.
This is magic, folks, not chemistry.
