All this technology catering the efficiency of psion usage seemed excessively convenient, and I personally wanted psions to be used intelligently even by high-level characters.

Consuming psions is more of a mental thing than a physical thing. Because the requirements of psion is already cut down extremely low by modern CADs, the main thing that exhausts a magician from casting spells or operating at maximum efficiency is mental fatigue. They won't be panting from running out of air or something like that



Anyways, Volume 3, chapter 5

Spoiler for Tats explains fatigue to Leo:

"Still, the President is using Speed-Type Magic to turn air molecules into ice particles then applying acceleration to sub-sonic levels and using Sensory Magic at the same time, right? With Sensory Magic running, and then using deceleration and acceleration back and forth a hundred times, the President has amazing Magic Power."

At this point, the "Magic Power" Leo was talking about did not refer to the "Magic Power" from the technical skills assessment, but the more generic context of having the physical capacity of repeatedly casting spells.

A common misunderstanding is that magic is an activity that consumes energy.

Phenomena are not rewritten by burning physical energy, but by editing the data surrounding the phenomena.

In order to edit the data, a Magic Sequence formed from psions is required, so the number of times magic can be invoked is limited by the difference in the scale of Magic Sequences.The "Magic Power" Leo is talking about here, if likened to an actual concept, would be similar to the mental strain exerted on the body.

"The President is using a variant of 'Hale Particles'. The original 'Hale Particles' is already a highly efficient form of magic and with the President's ability, she could probably cast this 1000 times rather than a paltry 100 times."

(Scale of magic sequences refer to how much processes an activation sequence has or basically, how complex the sequence is)



Vol 12 ch 16, this shows the above applied

Spoiler for Tomitsuka:

The battle had not gone on for very long. Barely 10 minutes had elapsed since the beginning of the match. Yet, unlike his physical sensations, Tomitsuka’s mental fatigue felt like he had been in combat for dozens of hours.
