The Mana Circuit
The Mana Circuit - Location of Vi along with some explanation how the 4 classes are classified accordingly. This is just an introduction to the story's magic system. More explanation will be coming bit by bit as the story continues.
"Vi" is the center of mana found in the body of living organisms. Those who have awakened their Vis can use/control their mana.
The 4 Classes of Reveils are classified depending on which Vis have awakened in
their mana circuit. These Vis awaken during puberty, though there are few exceptions.
Power Scaling
In terms of measuring how powerful characters are, there are a number of factors to consider. Every class has its way of identifying their levels. Each of these factors needs to be considered when trying to measure how strong a character is. For example, aside from the following scales/leveling, one has also consider a character’s intelligence both in academic and combat arts, their experience, weapons or armors used, etc. MER or class level alone is not enough to tell the full power and limits of characters. This is simply meant to be a guide in order to help the system make a clear image of the power balance in this world.
MER (Mana Evaluation Result)
-> MER is used to refer to one's overall level regardless their class.
-> There are 3 factors that are being considered when ranking a reveil's ability. 1] Stamina (how long they can last using their powers), 2] Control (the consistency of their power output as they use their abilities), 3] Accuracy (how close to the target/intended result).
-> A reveil can have high class level while having low MER; however, they cannot get a high MER if they have low class level.
Rank E -> weak in all factors
Rank D -> has average mark in at least 1 factor. D- for 1 factor, D for 2, and D+ for all 3.
Rank C -> has excellent mark in at least 1 factor. C for 1 factor, C+ for 2.
Rank B -> excellent mark in all 3 factors.
Rank A -> superior mana capacity, huge stamina to keep up with their mana capacity, the ability to use their ability continuously for 24(+) hours, has exceptional control and accuracy.

Rank S -> using their power is like breathing to them.
Mage – Magic Spells Power Level
Mages identifies the level of spells by observing the magic circles that glows when magic is used. I will include how destructive each level is, however this is just a sample so that imagining the difference of each level will be easier. Please take note that not all magic spells are destructive, e.g. healing, barriers, support magic etc.
Low-tier magic -> 1 simple magic circle. Basic spells, can wound/bruise.
-> In terms of healing, it’ll be the opposite, can heal bruise or shallow wounds. This level will not be able to heal deep or severe injuries such as deep blade stabs or broken bones. It will have the same level of effect for other kind of spells.
Mid-tier magic -> 1 detailed or intricate magic circle. Stronger spells, can kill.
-> In terms of healing, it can heal severe injuries such as deeper stab wounds, broken bones, larger cuts, etc. This level will not be able to regenerate or reattach severed limbs/body parts. It will have the same level of effect for other kind of spells.
High-tier magic -> 2-5 magic circles, can be simple or detailed. The caster must have high level of mastery of the spell. This level can destroy concrete 1 story houses.
-> In terms of healing, it can heal multiple severe injuries and life-threatening injuries, and it can also reattach or regenerate severed limbs. This level will not be able to heal multiple people at the same time. It will have the same level of effect for other kind of spells.
Elite-tier magic -> 6-9 detailed or intricate magic circles. This level can destroy 3+ story buildings, or a small village.

It will have the same level of effect for other kind of spells.
