Speaking of awkward, coming out all cocky and making a basic mistake in putting the parentheses into the calculator only to notice right after you post and then being unable to edit. Well, for an additive system it would actually be 21 800 mana at max skill level, which is still crazy in-world, apparently, but not unthinkable if people are given a few more years to level up. I still stand by that 1% increase multiplicatively would have been better though!

Pretty sure this author has never math’d in his life.

20k mana is an impossible feat? Well, that’s awkward because assuming the 10% increase in cost per skill level is additive (which it doesn’t sound like), that would be roughly 217k mana per cast at skill lvl 100, meaning a lvl 8680 summoner who put everything into mana could barely cast it once.
From the wording, the increase would be multiplicative, which would land us at roughly 25 million mana per cast at lvl 100, meaning a summoner would need to be lvl 1 000 000 to cast it once.

I mean, just a 1% increase multiplicatively would mean roughly 5350 mana at skill lvl 100, and wouldn’t that be better? Considering none of this includes awakening.

Awakened essence!!

Pyon makes medium-high quality translations so i understand it takes more time but at this rate we will hit the 20 days release mark and INROOF its not that long of a novel; i mean, the chapters are kind of short so if you guys are planing to drop this project then just announce it so some other group can take it cause its a nice novel and its kind of popular, i bet it wont take even a month before some other group take it
