After deciding to stop pointlessly thinking about questions he had no answer's to angel continued his investigation of his statues and in particular the area that listed his two core's and what stage they were currently at.
'A Magician Mana core and a adept Aura core'
Angel took one last look at his almost beautiful like face before he walked over toward the large bed, The white silk sheet's were messy which for some reason filled him with the urge to instantly fix it. He ignored it and took a seat on the edge as he rummaged through his new memories.
'There are six stage's for both magic and martial prowess'
Starting with Magic the stage's progressed as Mage, Magician, Wizard, Sorcerer, Grand Mage, and lastly at the peak was Arch Mage.
Those who wielded magic started off by absorbing mana into their bodies to create a Mana core, When one accomplished such a feat they were considered to be Mage and could wield mana to a small degree. To reach higher stages it was required not only to continue absorbing mana into their core's but to also gain fundamental knowledge about magic and how to control it.
After becoming a wizard is when you are forced to proceed in a different path, Along with continuing to absorb mana you also need to gain a full understanding with your own element.
The state of becoming one with your element, Which was called convergence.
After becoming a wizard there a was major gap between the next level, One that many could only hope to reach. Sorcerer's were being's almost made of mana and couldn't be hurt by lower rank's who not only had little knowledge about magic but also lacked the capability to harm someone who could make their fleshly body into mana.
Angel was a magician only at the second stage, His level was average when compared to his pear's not being anything special.
Although his fundamental knowledge was low, Angel did have the gift of a very large mana pool. It wasn't surprising as he was the son of a Duke's family. Even without training angel had consumed hundreds of treasures that most could only dream of laying their eye's on, Unfortunately his lack of talent when it came to comprehending magic left him stuck below other's that were talented.
'It's a pity' Angel couldn't help but feel a bit rueful.
After all, Having a large mana pool was something that anyone would desire and yet angel could only slowly advance due to his lack of affinity with learning and comprehending magic.
'But my aura core'
Marital prowess was very similar to Magic but also differed in many way's. For starters both absorbed mana and created a core, The difference being is that the former converted the mana into Aura and created a Aura core.
Those with aura core's enhanced their bodies with aura reaching a almost supernatural state and surprising a normal human. Unlike the latter where they were forced to comprehend magic those with aura core's were required to begin to master the weapon of their choice as well as continue converting mana into their Aura core.
The stage's began with Pupil, Apprentice, Adept, Knight, Master and lastly at the peak Grand Master.
Just like the magic stages there was a large difference between the third stage Adept and the fourth stage knight.
When reaching adept you are only capable of using your Core to enhance your body to unnatural degree's but becoming a knight requires you to be able to use your Core to enhance weapons and even your armor.
'Adept huh?' In term's of his aura core angel was well ahead of most of his pier's but the most noticeable thing to him was a simple fact.
"I have both" Angel rubbed his chin with narrowed eye's.
It was very unusual for one person to have both a Aura core and a Mana core, Although it wasn't impossible to have both most people thought it to pointless to purse the path's together. It wasn't a ignorant idea either, Starting off with the most basic fact was that both required you to absorb mana leaving your time split between the two.
The truth was it would be much more advantageous to spend all that time advancing one core. Although the major reason was the requirement's of advancement for each, Both understanding magic and mastering a weapon were not simple task's that one could complete in a few day's or even week's.
They were long and grueling processes that required time and effort to accomplish, Time and effort that most didn't have.
'It seem's it's not because the owner of the body was trying to wield both' Angel looked through his memories and grimaced slightly understanding why he had two core's.
'My younger brother Aidan'
Angel shook his head slightly as those disgusting feeling's from earlier threatened to corrupt his mind again. If it was someone else perhaps they would be forced to endure those emotion's but angel refused to succumb to someone else's inferiority, He quickly pushed them down and focused on the fact that the reason he had both cores was because of his younger brother.
