NOTE: Only read if you forget some details mid-story. Knowing the power system in advance will make your reading experience worse as it is already nicely integrated with the pace of the story. It will also be updated along with the latest chapters of the story, so if you haven't caught up, there might be spoilers. That also means it doesn't have any future content that hasn't been written yet.

Alright, now here goes.

[Pathwalker System]: The main progression of power.

Tiers:-

Uninitiated (Rank 0)

Novice (Rank 1)

Veteran (Rank 2)

Elite (Rank 3)

Expert (Rank 4)

Master (Rank 5)

Grandmaster (Rank 6)

Sage (Rank 7)

Savant (Rank 8)

Archon (Rank 9)

Paragon (Rank 10)

Each tier has three divisions- Initiate, Advanced, Crafted. Name example- Crafted Master, Initiate Sage, Advanced Veteran.

In monster terms- low, mid, peak. Name example- low rank 8, mid rank 6, peak rank 9.

Monsters also follow the same rank system, but their stage is referred to by their ranks rather than names... I might change this.

Warrior Path of the Pathwalker System:-

Along with the rank system, there's a separate power system for each profession integrated to pathwalker system.

Qi: Available from when one initiates (Awakens) as a Warrior. It is the internal energy used by the warriors to strengthen their bodies and perform moves that the uninitiates cannot.

Aura: Available when one has achieved Expert Rank. The user is able to bring out their energy and coat their weapon to reinforce it and project that energy outwards for attack, defense, or any utilization. Qi and Aura exist at the same time and can be trained separately. Once Expert rank is achieved and Aura is formed, it can be brought out at lower ranks as long as any amount of qi is present in the body and the comprehension of forming it once is present. Though, the strain on the body will be self-destructive.

Force: Available from the Sage rank. It fuses the Aura and Qi and unifies them into an energy that can perform surreal feats. There exist two types of Force- True Force and Pseudo Force. True Force is a type of Force that is attained in the Sagehood Ascension of a warrior when he makes an Oath of the Champions. It's an oath that a warrior has to forever abide by to display his full potential of Force and have a chance of advancing further in Ranks. Pseudo force, as implied, is created without an Oath, or the Oath is broken and blocks the path to further ranks. It is also weaker and less potent than True Force. Like Aura, once the enlightenment is there, it can be formed anytime, but with a huge strain.

Manifestation: Available when the user completes his art with perfect mastery. It can summon a physical weapon that is best suited to execute that art, better than any external weapon out there. Amplifies the power and effects of Force to an extreme degree.

Warrior stars: These are the aspects of a warrior, much like the elements of a mage. Like mages, different warriors have different affinities for the aspects, and what one can use depends on what one trains. For example, an assassin-type art will require different stars to train than a defense art, or a greatsword art will have different stars than a spear art.

There are 7 stars-

Strength

Agility

Dexterity

Precision

Deflection

Endurance

Intuition

Even among the same star, one could have different levels of talent, and someone heavenly blessed with some of them is called his extreme stars.

Mage Path:

(Details of mage path mastery to be later revealed)

Elements:

There are 7 basic elements:

Fire

Water

Earth

Wind

Light

Dark

Space

There are 7 more deviant elements, later to be revealed. Elements can be combined in various ways and proportions to birth new elements and magic. Almost an exact parallel can be drawn when compared to the warrior stars, regarding how it's trained and how much they influence one.

Status Details: The status details are exclusive to Xavier and Seraphina, no one else uses these metrics. The following are the aspects that the status categorizes skills (arts for warriors and magic for mages)-

Rarity: Largely influenced by the backstory and power of something. Levels- Inferior, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, Divine.

Mastery: As the name suggests, mastery of something. Levels- Novice, Adept, Expert, Minor Accomplishment, Greater Accomplishment, Mastered, Perfect Completion, Transcended.

Innate Gift: A gift that any person could randomly be born with, regardless of any prerequisites. Whether it will doom the user, bless the user, or be an equal trade with limitations is completely luck. Physiques, Special eyes, Special abilities like future sight, special affinities, and special powers, everything is categorized in Innate Gift.

Bloodline: A gift that is inherited from previous users. It is based on mythical figures of Earth.

***********

From now on, this will be updated regularly. Also, it is one of the few rare chapters that I hope nobody needs to read often, since that means I'm making things too complicated to remember...

Anyways, peace :)
