Seems like they're preparing a new part of Time Temple.

Simple:To show how strong he is. However the power surge he caused made him lose any power he had up to that point, so now he has to rest. I also don't think it would be out of the question to say Maximus, Grant, and Spiegelman all had their own roles to make us stronger. Grant to help us get stronger equipment, Maximus to get us stronger by fighting each other and learn how the Black Mage would attack, and Spiegelman to give us the higher challenge of stronger monsters so we're prepared for what comes.

I will here support my theory that the Black Mage was an adventurer and after fighting his ultimate form, which we are most familiar with, we'll be facing a mapler. I would really like to see how the battle went, with the 5 heroes, but I guess till they are all released, can't ask for much.

I dream too much about Maple Story future content.

No new info, I take it?
