[PnP] Increasing Spell EL's

[Schnockel]

I don't understand something....


To get a BMC 1 spell from EL0 to EL9 takes 95 successful casts.  (theoretical 95 mana)

To get a BMC 4 spell from EL0 to EL9 takes 27.5 successful casts.  (theoretical 110 mana)

To get a BMC 10 spell from EL0 to EL9 takes 14 successful casts.   (theoretical 140 mana)

To get a BMC 20 spell from EL0 to EL9 takes 9.5 successful casts.   (theoretical 190 mana)

Now, why does it take fewer casts of a spell to gain higher levels on the most powerful spells?  Admittedly, the mana cost is greater, but not THAT much greater.  Seems to me to take a BMC 20 spell to EL9 is worth more effort than simply doubling the mana cost to a BMC 1 spell at EL9.
