Novice Tier
Basic understanding of elemental power.
Able to cast raw, unstable spells—usually basic ranged attacks (e.g., fire blasts, water jets).
Weak control, rapid energy depletion, and unstable techniques.
Adept Tier
Greater elemental understanding.
Capable of "forging" magic into physical weapons or tools (e.g., swords, spears, bows, farming tools).
Spells are more stable, accurate, and powerful.
Begins to adapt spells in real combat situations.
Master Tier
Fully proficient in chosen element.
Able to transform the surrounding environment into a Magical Domain—a personal elemental territory.
Within this domain, the caster becomes near-omnipotent—controlling energy, matter, and structure.
Significant boost in power and effectiveness.
Ascendant Tier
Achieves complete elemental synergy.
The soul merges with the element to form an Elemental Soul Beast—a creature born from the caster's spirit and element.
These beasts assist in battle, cast ultimate spells, or amplify magic power.
This is a "quasi-divine" level—very few ever reach it.
Divine Tier
Power rivaling that of gods.
As the name suggests, only deities are known to wield this level of power.
Its nature and limits remain largely unknown.
Levels Beyond Divine tier
In the dust-covered pages of ancient tomes and the whispered tales passed down by anonymous sages, there lingers a quiet yet haunting belief: that Divine tier is not the ultimate peak, not the pinnacle of magical power. It is said that reaching the stage of Divine is merely the minimum threshold to possess powers equal to the divine—or perhaps, to become divine.
When one attains the realm of Divine, the path of magic does not end. Rather, from that point onward, a gateway opens to realms even more mysterious—where power is no longer bound by reason or language, where mortals may grasp things that transcend even imagination.
And yet, all of this remains mere legend. No one has ever returned to speak of the truth that lies beyond Divine tier. Is it an illusion? A dream? Or simply a secret yet to be born?
Notes: A mage's rank is determined by the level of magical mastery they have achieved
