So it really is feasible...
Although Atram was only a second-rate Magus, his spirit of exploration and pursuit of magecraft was fully up to standard. Even an apparently ordinary second-rate Magus was utterly overwhelming compared to the new generation of Magi.

Though each of them had been left extremely weak and exhausted, he had obtained all the results he wanted.
With sufficient compensation, every one of the test subjects left quite happily.
