# Leading Level {LL}

- there are six leading levels:
*Ordinary
*Soarer
*Prime One
*Regal
*Demon/Saint
*Savior/Tyrant
*LL1
These levels are achieved as one accomplishes various dangerous feats, moving higher up the levels
__The Ordinaries are the starters of the Leading Level. They are only a tad bit higher than mundane humans and as such, there is a limit to the much they can accomplish.
But, these Ordinaries have a divination towards combat skills and are willed into the various sectors of combat
__The Soarers are conspicuously better than the Ordinaries in that each receive a special attribute on promotion to the Soarer.
These attributes are;
• Shapeshifters: possess the ability to change form on command
• Sirens: are capable of deceiving and manipulating the minds of their victims
• Doves: possess ability to deflect mind and body damage to a certain level and have the ability to heal broken souls
• Ravens: posses ability to inflict mind and body damage to a certain level and have the ability to break souls
• Lions: possess inhuman strength and are able to deflect physical damages to a certain extent
__The Prime Ones are simply promoted versions of the Soarers. With promotion, comes benefits in weapons and in precision
A Shapeshifter will acquire weaponry that is capable of changing forms and adapting to a variety of situations, called weapon mimicry.
A Siren will acquire an increase in the ability of mental and animal manipulation
A Dove receives a significant increase in their ability to heal broken souls and are much less susceptible to mental and body damage
A Raven acquires a significant improve in the ability to instill fear and judgement and inflict mind and body damage
A Lion will acquire a significant boost in inhuman strength and is much less susceptible to physical damage
All individuals who have been promoted from a Soarer to a Prime One receive more specific weapons in their distinct sectors
# Gates of Chaos
- gates that open to release countless batches of monsters and destructive creatures
- there is a no specific time for openings as such every year
- during scenarios when the Gates are unceremoniously opened, magic conservatories are expected to release their best and well assessed students to destroy the invading Creatures of Thames.
# Phases of Supernatural
- also called Phases of the Weave
- it is a slow, stealthy infectious disease that affects mostly teens and youths of the population
- starts as a complex of symptoms such as visual and auditory hallucinations, nightmares, sweaty nights, migraines, dizziness, and nose bleed
- an individual experiencing the first stages of the Weave is registered by the government or private practice in a magic academy as the Weave is simply the assignment of supernatural powers
*Phase 1; induction phase where one begins experiencing the symptoms of the Weave such as visual and auditory hallucinations, nightmares, sweaty nights, migraines, dizziness and nose bleed
*Phase 2; in unfortunate situations when the individual is incapable of being trained in perseverance through these symptoms, then the outcome will be losing one's sanity and slowly becoming mad
*Phase 3; in a state where the individual is properly trained in both mental and magical aspects, the individual is fit to hunt down Creatures of Thames and obliterate them, he/she will ascend through the Leading Levels
Each Leading Level tougher than the former
This is the last phase of the Weave, induction into the Supernatural
