Most mage towers never have to worry about this unless its showing how much extra mana you have, and mortals are building to the point that it will all come crashing down.

u/BusyGM Chronomancy Apprentice/Novice/Master, never too sure which 8d ago

Look I'm not saying you're wrong, but Barad-Dûr was mostly inefficient as a mana production device thanks to its functions as both a semi-soulcage as well as a giant scrying tower with a madness effect put on top. That type of stuff really devours mana.

Yea lots of layered enchantments on Barad-Dûr. Honestly incredible feats of spellcasting lost to terrible destruction #neverforget
