Among the two cultivation systems in Aurora, Michael was far more familiar with the knight system than the mage system.
In fact, this was the case for most locals, to the extent that the term "cultivator" almost felt exclusively associated with knights.
This might be due to the fact that the majority of people practiced the knight cultivation system.
According to Michael's knowledge, a mage was someone who possessed the talent to be an excellent knight—a prodigy even.
In a way, one could say every apprentice mage had the potential to be an exceptional knight.
However, this was a threshold few could ever hope to reach.
The original Michael, for example, would have been lucky to successfully light up a life seed before his death—a level of talent that wasn't particularly rare in the general population.
