MANA CORE LEVELS:

1)Embryonic Stage:

2)Nebulous Stage:

-During the apprentice phase, the magical essence begins to take a more defined form. It's like a nebulous cloud, a little more noticeable but still lacking a clear shape or structure. Apprentice wizards have a somewhat visible but nebulous innate source of magic.

3)Veiled Stage:

-As students advance in their magical education, the innate magic becomes more defined and takes on a foggy form, like a veiled mist within their bodies. It's beginning to coalesce and become more cohesive, representing a deeper understanding and control over magic.

4)Gossamer Stage:

-As wizards progress through their education and approach graduation, the innate magic condenses further. It becomes like a gossamer mist, denser and more noticeable, indicating a substantial increase in magical strength and proficiency. Graduates possess this denser, foggy innate source.

5)Ethereal Stage:

-Wizards who have entered the professional magical world have a source of innate magic that's akin to an ethereal liquid but with a majority of it being fog. It's more fluid and responsive, symbolizing a deeper connection and mastery of magic.

6)Luminescent Stage:

9)Mana-Body Stage:

{PS: Note that Mana Cores act as a catalyst. The higher the stage of Mana Core, the Better the result. For example, A level 6 Lumos cast by Embryonic Stage will glow bright enough to light up a football field but then the core would be drained and stressed whereas, if cast by a Pinnacle Stage Core, the spell cast at full power will blind all those who stare at it and most probably burn the wand and the wizard too.
