Welcome, to my comprehensive layout of how to power gauge the characters in my story. And how Magic and Aether work.

In the universe that the main character gets sent to, there is a substance called aether. It comes from agios the version of the Holy Trinity of that universe. In that universe, he takes the form of a single being. And he releases aether into every corner of the universe. Aether is a powerful type of energy, the craziest thing about this type of energy is that it does not follow how normal types of energy like kinetic or static. It remains alive until used by the person storing it inside them. It's almost like a living being, those being's with a Mana-Sphere(Or MSP) can use and complete control. Mana is what aether is called once somebody takes it into their Mana-Sphere. Ang magic is just the process of using mana.

: Mana-Sphere, the place where mana will naturally go and form, is usually located right where the ribcage starts or otherwise known as the Solar Plexus. Every being is born with a Mana-Sphere. This stage is called Mortal-Sphere the weakest level and also the most common stage for most of the common folks. They can perform simple magic. (Mostly used for chores)Training your core is a long and tedious process with the only thing making it worth it is the crazy leaped of power between the power levels. And power is moderation in the end, but heir is an easier way that people gain power, it does take just as long but takes less concentration.

: Mana-Warrior, a person that sacrifices their core, in doing so it is a very painful process they are changing their bodies to essentially an aether generator, the way that they get stronger is by forcibly stuffing aether into their cells which slowly makes stronger. The reason they do this is that when one becomes a Mana-Warrior their physical strength becomes astronomically strong, although mages can refine their bodies to extreme levels(Which they do) Mana-Warriors have the ability to still control the type of magic affinity they have, for example, if they were born with a fire affinity they can still use fire, not only can they use it they can use it even better than mages.

: Veritas/Normal Mages, the classification for anyone that is on the path of Mana-Sphere improvement, you also have to be above the level of a Mortal-Sphere, all mages can sense their mana and that is the norm. Once a being can sense aether however the whole game changes. Not only can you cast spells with your mana but you can manifest them outside using aether and then cast them. After a mage awakens they can also sense their soul-core completely and directly train it by pushing on the walls of the soul-core. Unlike normal mages that just keep practicing spells and mana puzzles over and over until their core expands. Of course, practicing spells is important for both types of mages but Vertias mages don't need to do it to become stronger soul-core wise.

=Each Mana-Sphere level has a different name or (title) color that goes with it, the color comes from the mama being purified over time. On mortal planets, there are a total of 9 levels that you have to climb before you can have a chance to become a deity. Each level has a total of 2 stages for each level, lower and higher being the stages.

=All beings have three places of power, The Body, The Mana-Sphere, The Soul-Core. All normal beings have Soul-Core the Soul-Core is your mind, and the stronger your mind is the higher you will go. Spells etched onto their Soul-core, the Soul-Core takes the shape of a sphere and you will always appear inside the core. But the only people that access the inside of their minds are Vertias mages.

=Magic Affinity, magic affinity is when a being is born with an inborn ability to control an Element better and to learn anything relating to that element faster. Sometimes a person will have more than one which evolves into something else, for example, if a person is born with a fire and fire affinity they automatically learn explosion magic easier. Although affinity themselves are pretty rare much less two or more.

=Mana-Sphere Levels Lowest to highest.

=Spells, the essence of magic, spells are the precise execution of mana in specific ways. A spell is a complex geometrical pattern that gets etched on the walls of the Soul-Core, Because of this it takes mental energy to cast a spell, and that is also why the soul-core gets bigger and stronger the more spells you have and master.

=Martial Art's, they are kinda like spells in nature that they are etched onto you but they are done over time and practice. It is just the practice of moving mana into your body and outside to create specific movements or attacks.

=Body Refinement is something only mages can do, it is the process of cleaning your body and also making it stronger they usually do this with rare herbs and sometimes but rarely runic tattoos. They also train under gravity spells and with weights to thicken their muscle density, they can do this type of body enhancement until demi-god rank and after that, the people of jakraa don't know what happens. The plants allow for the body mass to continually keep folding in on its self and getting stronger. But that's just the first part the second part is to slowly evolve your cells into mana batteries, kinda like the magic warriors but it is much harder. besides that, a magic warrior's body will always be stronger than a Body of a Mage at the same level. The level system for the mage's bodies fallow the same at their core levels, for example, the Mage-Class body is the first step into the body refinement journey.

=The rarity for Spells and Martial arts are simple 1-7 stars with a 7-star spell or martial art being the stuff that demi-gods use.
