Ranking system:
People and animals: it is based on how strong their soul is (The soul is what produces mana you use but mana can also be absorbed to help recovery or create a core)
Seedling – cannot feel their soul or produce mana
Bud – people who created their core allowing an explosive release of mana and stockpile
Sprout – A person who's soul fuses with their body
Bloom – A person who creates their domain, momentarily stealing a piece of the world
Spirit – A person who's domain is permanent in one aspect
Eidolon – A god
Artifacts:
Common – Simple enchanted items, like a self cleaning shirt or a ring that keeps you slightly warm, can be made by almost anyone with magic
Forged – Stronger than common items and has to be made by an artificer eg a sword that can become red hot at the cost of mana
Resonant – The artifact resonates with the users soul, becoming bound, this makes it have properties related to the wielders soul and becoming stronger because of it
Relic – An Artifact with a story, tied to its existence and with abilities that resonates with them, Usually starts as a resonant item but then evolves
Myth – An artifact created during a legendary event by a master artificer
Corrupted:
(note: when something is corrupted it turns into the corresponding rank, eg. a bloom turns into a halfling)
Touched – The beginning of corruption
Blighted – Mana core turns corrupt
Abhorrent – Capable of using corruption as a weapon
Halfling – Eldritch creatures, not much else is left
Spawn – Eldritch Monstrosities
Titans – The gods of corruption
(note : Spells and techniques are usually used as a foundation since everyone has a slightly different way they use mana and as such, it is better for them to create their own styles)
