"Mm... after your detailed explanation, I feel the consumption dropped by about one-fifth..." As the sky gradually darkened, Jiu Ming nodded solemnly. "Just as I thought—if I understand what I want to record well enough, the consumption during recording will also decrease... No wonder I felt that materializing humanoid forms consumed far less than recording them."
"That isn't important! What's important is that I repeated myself over a dozen times and wasted an entire afternoon on you, yet you only managed to retain one-fifth of it!?" Evangeline looked as though she were staring at a piece of rotten wood beyond redemption!

Much less something that sounded even more advanced, like enchanting.
Still, this "understanding" being able to reduce consumption was genuinely nice. And from how things looked now, the deeper his understanding, the lower the consumption when recording!
