This entails the power system for mages, life spans and capabilities. (Could be updated as the novel progresses)
¶MAGE RANKS
Beginner Mage
Mages at this level have just started their magical training. They can only control basic elemental spells and their mana core is still forming.
They can only use simple spells.
Lifespan: 80-100 years (normal human lifespan, with a slight increase due to the mana in their body).
Intermediate Mage
At this stage, mages have a better understanding of their chosen element(s) and can perform more complex spells. Their mana core is more stable, but still developing.
They can channel mana for longer periods.
Lifespan: 120-150 years (slight aging delay due to enhanced mana circulation).
Advanced Mage
Advanced Mages are skilled practitioners of magic. They have refined control over their mana and can perform advanced spells with greater efficiency.
Lifespan: 200-250 years (slowed aging, with mana sustaining their vitality).
Master Mage
Master Mages have reached a high level of expertise. They can wield powerful spells, influence large areas with their magic, and are respected in magical circles.
Abilities: Mastery over their element(s), large-scale spells (e.g., summoning storms, creating barriers), high-level enchantments, significant mana reserves.
Lifespan: 400-500 years (significantly slowed aging, mana rejuvenates the body).
Great Mage
Great mages are among the most powerful mages in existence. They can manipulate the fabric of reality to some extent, and their knowledge of magic is vast.
Lifespan: 800-1,000 years (extraordinarily long-lived, mana sustains them far beyond normal lifespans).
Grand Archmage
A rare rank, Grand Archmages have transcended normal magical limitations. They are often leaders of magical orders.
Abilities: Creation of new spells, manipulation of ley lines, control over life and death, ability to ascend to higher planes of existence.
Lifespan: 1000-2000 years
Celestial Mage
The pinnacle of magical power. Celestial Mages are beings of immense power, often considered demigods or avatars of magic itself. They are attuned to the cosmos and can tap into the universe's raw magical energy.
Abilities: Cosmic-level spells (e.g., summoning meteor showers, creating or destroying realms), manipulating fate, walking between dimensions, ultimate command over mana.
Lifespan: Potentially Immortal (they exist outside of normal time, aging stops completely).
[A/N: There are no Celestial mages in Zekkoa.]
Each Mage rank is subdivided into tiers, ranging from Tier - 1 through Tier-9.
Tier - 1 _Tier - 3 (Lower class)
Tier - 4 _Tier - 6 (Middle class)
Tier - 7 _Tier - 9 (Upper class)

Mages may have a natural affinity for one or more elements, which influences their path of progression and the type of spells they can master. These elements include, but not limited to:
Fire
Water
Air
Earth
Lightening
Light
Darkness
Metal
Wood.
