The impact of the shallow Weave's collapse on Soren was not too significant.
However, the collapse of the Faith Network was extremely serious for Soren, because along with the collapse of the Faith Network, Soren's workload in feeding back into his worshippers' prayers suddenly multiplied several times over. Soren's intention to meddle with the Shadow Weave was essentially a desire to establish his own Faith Network in the future. Otherwise, constantly relying on external forces to collect faith was ultimately not a very good method. Soren did not much like having certain aspects of himself subject to others; the power he could control himself was the most effective.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
The research progress led by the Wizard Union, the Northern Witches Council, the Ice Witches' Coven, and Port Nyanzaru finally began to yield results. Many wizards had already mastered the few spells they were most familiar with through repeated casting exercises. As for how much actual strength they would be able to recover in the future, it would depend on their individual talent abilities and the fruits of their hard work.
Come to think of it.
After the Weave collapsed, a rather good thing had actually emerged.
That was the appearance of a benchmark for measuring a wizard's talent. In the past, everyone relied on the power of the Weave to cast spells, much like a group of students all attending the first grade at the same time. Without specialized testing, their intelligence looked roughly the same to one another; at most, some studied a bit better and some worse, some were a bit more diligent and some a bit lazier. But after the Weave collapsed, everyone's talent revealed a direct benchmark, instantly distinguishing the geniuses from the ordinary people among all the wizards.
