Elementalists: Those who perform magic using elemental mana. They have affinities.
Elemental Mages: Elementalists with stage six mana core. Basically Elementalists that are full fledged mages.
Combat mages: These are people that actively strengthen their bodies using mana. They also have a mana core but they can't perform elemental magic or cast spells because they don't have affinities, instead they strengthen and enhance their bodies using mana.
Combat magus/Magus: Basically combat mages that reached the sixth mana core stage.
***
There are a total of nine affinities.
Fire affinity
Water affinity
Wind affinity
Light affinity
Earth affinity
Lighting affinity
Time affinity
Space affinity
Darkness affinity
NOTE: The first six are the only ones known to those on earth. Human beings can't use the time, space and darkness affinity because of some reasons that will be explained in the later chapters.
The nine affinities above are the primary affinities, there are also secondary affinities that can be derived from the 'mixture' or addition of two or more affinities.
****
Secondary affinities
Metal Affinity: Fire Affinity+Earth Affinity
Ice Affinity: Water Affinity +Wind Affinity
Plant Affinity: Earth affinity + Water Affinity
Mist Affinity: Fire Affinity + Water Affinity

Grades of affinities

Medium Grade - their mana core can't develop past the fifth stage I.e a stage five mana core is their highest attainable stage.
High Grade- stops at Stage seven mana core(the highest attainable stage is the seventh mana core stage(grand mage stage).

Affinity colours
Reddish yellow- Fire
Blue - water
Pink - wind
Brown - earth
Silver/light blue- Lighting
White - light
Green - Time
Ash/Black - space
Purplish Black - Darkness
[Note: this is only their colour when checked on an affinity crystal. Except from wind affinity, all other affinities bring out their respective colours when used. I mean if one uses earth affinity or earth magic it would manifest in a brown colour. If one uses water magic, it manifests in a blue colour. Only wind magic would manifest in a colourless form when used]
