Bottlenecks & Growth

Usually, too much growth in too little time would result in bottlenecks. Especially when a path was advanced by the same method.

For instance, Varian could go to a water dungeon and increase his water power. But if he fought there continously, he'd progress first before hitting a bottleneck.

Just entering the Dungeon and reaching peak level 9 in a day or a week was just impossible.

He'd hit a bottleneck before that. And bottlenecks at level 8 were much tougher to crack.

For low levels and mid levels, Varian took a day at the least and a week at most. But high levels were another beast altogether. He might take months for this!

Still, even when he was training with Enigma, Varian could barely reach the limit which his body could bear.

He had seven paths and even if each of them progressed by 2,000 XP, it was a sum of 14,000 XP. That's almost half of a level 8 growth every day!
