Ranks and Power.

--- Essence.

A mysterious energy bestowed upon earth by the angels that descended after god's death.

Humans have, and can manipulate soul essence through their essence flow.

Can refer to soul-essence or natural essence.

--- Essence flow.

A sort of funnel, through which one can cast and manipulate essence coming from the soul.

The essence flow is determined at birth and cannot be changed. Only detectable after the awakening, the awakening happens between the ages from 6 to 10.

The essence flow is measured in output and shape, generally, the more concentrated the better. It is also the biggest factor in the early assessment.

--- Soul ranks.

Soul ranks range from l - V for humans, and for beasts and demons it ranges from l to Vll.

This also applies to magic weapons. Same amount of power, just for an inanimate object.

--- Rune-crafting.

Rune-crafting lets one apply soul-essence to their arms. This is mostly used by people of master class and below. It can also be used to create a weapon capable of bringing one to Supreme rank.

Can also be used to lock spells into an object with sufficient soul-essence.

--- Ability Ranks.

This is the application of soul-essence, the separate abilities are also called spells.

The ranks are the following, Classless, Basic, Advanced, Master, Grandmaster, Supreme and transcendent.

- Classless, one has yet to form an ability.

- Basic class, an element and form has been applied to the essence.

- Advanced class. One has at least formed six abilities and has mastered them to a certain degree.

- Master class. Certain objects have been bound to the spells, amplifying their effects. An example of this would be a sword.

- Grandmaster class. At this class spells can act independently, and their power is only limited to the human soul meaning rank V.

To advance past this stage one has to either have special runes applied to their weapon, or have to have Adamantium and Silver incorporated into the weapon. The runes, in conjunction with a strong enough material can create a weapon with a high soul-rank.

The adamantium-silver mix allows the weapon to absorb the souls of slain foes, and allows for the creation of a consciousness in the weapon. One must kill innumerable foes to advance the weapon even by one rank. Weapons that have been advanced this way can be identified by a red vein that runs throughout the metal. Once the weapon has exceeded the human limit (VI and higher.), one can advance into the Supreme class.

- Supreme class. At this class one must start binding their weapons to the soul. Once one has done this to two or more weapons, one can officially be deemed to have started creating a regalia. People of this rank have their lifetime multiplied by the amount of regalia set-pieces.

- Transcendent class, this marks the last rank the people of this generation have reached. One has to have formed an at least six piece regalia to advance to this class. Once at this class, one has to start forming their own Law/Divinity. People of this class are near immortal.

--- Beast-ranks.

Beasts are ranked in soul-essence and general power.

The ranks for essence range from I to X, this mostly shows their magical ability and stamina.

The ranks for general power range from copper to Adamantium, and go as following; Copper, Bronze, Iron, Silver, gold, platinum and Adamantium.
