Magic cultivation: Bonus, can use spells.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1- Mana Circulation: Circulating the mana from the air through the body, this is done in preparation of future cultivation and can even lead to upgrading your talent if done right.
Stage 2- Mana Pool: Contain the mana from the air within your heart, the better your talent the more is needed. It is best to go to your limit before breaking through, or your potential will decrease significantly.
Stage 3- Mana Whirlpool: Turn the mana in your heart until it picks up speed and begins to become denser and stronger. The faster the whirlpool the faster you will be in cultivation of Mana Compacting.
Stage 4- Mana Compacting: Use the whirlpool to continually make your mana thicker, purer and denser. The better you do the better your future core.
Stage 5- Mana Core: Use the compacted mana to create a core. The smaller you can make your core the better unless of course it is because of a lack of mana.
Stage 6- Core Palace: Create a palace around your core, this is used to infuse your knowledge of the Daos as the body can't usually handle it. It is one of the more difficult levels and serves as a boundary. The Core Palace is also split into several different stages itself, those being The Foundation, half complete and peak. As of chapter 112 Daedalus has been stuck at the start of the half complete stage, though it was by choice, this shows the level of difficulty the Core Palace stage posseses.
Stage 7- Dao Infusion: The Dao Infusion stage consists of infusing the said that you understand into the completed Core Palace, though it can be started early it will cause detrimental effects in the future.
