In this fantasy world, magic exists and is categorized into a hierarchical system known as Power Level Rankings which is divided into five main stages, each containing distinct phases.
1. The Novice Tier
a) Novice I - Sensation
- At this level, every person in the world has the innate ability to sense magic, even if they can't actively use it.
b) Novice II - Awakening
- This stage marks the true awakening of magical potential, with individuals sensing their core and establishing a connection to their own magic.
c) Novice III - Ignition
- Magic use begins, allowing individuals to cultivate and develop their core through dedicated practice, though their magic remains limited.
2. The Adept Tier
a) Adept I - Flow
- At this stage, magic begins to flow more freely, with core growth making spellcasting feel smoother and more natural.
b) Adept II - Harmony
- Emphasizes refined control over magic, as the user's connection with their core allows for smooth, controlled casting.
c) Adept III - Basic Mastery
- Marks the peak growth of the core for a new user, enabling the use of all basic to intermediate spells aligned with their core's affinity.
3. The Advanced Tier
a) Advanced I - Resilience
- The first step in reshaping the core, enhancing the user's physical and magical resilience, preparing them for more advanced cultivation.
b) Advanced II - *Fortification
- Represents a significant strengthening of the core, allowing for a more powerful magical presence and an increased capacity for magic use.
c) Advanced III - Ultimate Refinement
- The core reaches a level of maturity that enables the user to perform higher-level spells and start mastering the more complex aspects of their affinity.
4. The Master Tier
a) Master I - *Dominance
- At this level, users demonstrate significant control over their abilities, making them formidable opponents in battle and respected figures in society.
b) Master II - *Authority
- Users can wield their power with precision and authority, capable of executing complex spells and strategies. They are seen as leaders among magical users.
c) Master III - Supremacy

The Master tier (Late Master Realm)
d) Master IV - *Eminence
- This level signifies a profound leap in power and ability. Users gain complete mastery over the skills and techniques of the lower Master levels, becoming elite figures capable of extraordinary feats.
e) Master V - *Eclipse
- Users reach a state of power far beyond that of Master IV, becoming exceptionally formidable but facing instability within their core. To prevent their core from bursting due to this immense power, users often withdraw into seclusion, focusing on refining their abilities and preparing to ascend to the Legendary level.
5. The Legendary Tier
a) Legendary Tier I - *Apex/Peak
- The transformation of the core to its strongest form, allowing the user to activate their maximum potential. Only a few individuals have reached this realm.
