The Ascension of the Celestial Priest

1: Mage Apprentice – Elemental Awakening 2: Mortal Rank – Mana Accumulation • Foundational Mages – meaning that these two stages are the starting point of every mage in the Continent of Lush. **--**--Line of Demarcation. 3: Earth Rank – Mana Whirlpool and Compression. 4: Crystal Rank – Crystallization of Mana **--**--Line of Demarcation 5: Heaven Rank – Evolution of Mana 6:  Arch-mage – Elemental Incarnation 7: Transcendent/ Transcendental Mage **--**--Line of Demarcation 8: Saint Mage **--**--Line of Demarcation 9: Origin Mage **--**--Line of Demarcation Ascension to Godhood. ** ** Stages in each rank. Low- Mid- Late- Peak- **--**--Line of Demarcation – means that it is a Cultivation Threshold. After a every line of demarcation the quality of mana and elemental comprehension undergoes major transformation though that means it's even harder for one to cross them. As a form of simplicity, nearly each following rankings from Artifacts (weapons and such) to even Warriors all will be based around this. This is in line with the fact that the world I am building is ruled by Mages and the fact that too many different ranks will confuse my readers in the end.  Of course they will be some situations that won't conform to this but this is my base line for all the future ranks to come. All the above are very liable to change as I have stated that the book is written in a free style kind of creativity. I do research all of the times and weigh what not to include and what to leave but I am still a learner at most and if anyone ever sees any kind of inconsistencies, please write a comment below so I can fully correct it in the end. *-*-* The Top 10 Institutions in The Continent of Lush. They are as follows; *The Holy Sages Academy *The Cathedral of Light *The Divine Cathedral *The Blue Cathedral *The Tabernacle of Flames Sect *The World of Ice Sect *The VastSky Academy *The Martial Sect *The Astral Clocktowers *The Talismanic Sect* *This is liable to change in the future but for now, i left it as it is. Among these ten, the top institution is The Holy Sages Academy found in the North of the Evergreen Forest. They subtly control and influence the rest of other regions though their influence is thinly spread in regions placed South of the Evergreen forest. In addition a huge part of the Continent of Lush is covered by the forest, hence almost all of the regions and their institutions are located by using the Evergreen Forest as a location marker of some sort. >They are mostly known as the Tri-Cathedrals; *The Cathedral of Light *The Divine Cathedral *The Blue Cathedral Even though they are rumors clearly that they all stem from a singular source, their path of magic are wildly different for each other as it will become very apparent in the future. Each of the Top 10 Institutions have a Great Noble Family they are affiliated with; starting with the more common one is; >The Cathedral of Light is fettered to 3  Great Noble Families; *The House of Litcht *The House of Lumiere *The House of Celeste >The Tabernacle of Flames  are fettered to 2 Great Noble  Families * The House of Fyre *The House of Firaun   PS/ And there you have it guys. Its still not that detailed since i usually believe in filling the more important details as my main character cross their path but for now at least you have an idea of where i am going with the story. I will notify you all every time i add a detail in here so you won't miss it. World building is a unending process and even until now my mind is filling up the gaps as i write. Enjoy.
