The Collector made quick progress back to the Stormbear dungeon with its swarm. It did not move at maximal speed, however, which would have involved taking all of the goblins with Sapia and transporting them with its flight.
This would have cost a great deal of magical energy. Approximately forty percent of the Collector's total reserves for the full-length trip. An enormous improvement from before when any usage of Sapia would have greatly reduced the Collector's mana reserves.
The royal daemon's blood was incredibly well attuned with Sapia, yet still highly specialized towards direct application of forces instead. However, the Collector estimated its force related powers were essentially on par with its physical prowess by now, perhaps even exceeding them when pumping in prodigious quantities of mana to fuel them in short bursts.
