A greenhorn.
Someone who barely caused a blip or a shred of alertness in the realm of consciousness of the world. Save for those at the very pinnacle of power, the overall strength of those below them also waned and changed in time.
Cultivators or Mages, these people preferred to hoard the powers, secrets and techniques for themselves. If only to be bestowed upon those who they care or trust the most, family, same sect, alliances or those who provide benefits for them.
