Introduction to Base Stats:
HP- Denotes Health Points a ranker has. It indicates the ranker’s health status.
MP- Means Mana Points a ranker has. It quantifies the mana storage within the ranker’s core.
STR- Stands for Strength. Indicates the quantified physical prowess of the ranker.
AGI- Stands for Agility. It quantifies the speed a ranker can deploy in his movements and attacks.
INT- Stands for intelligence. It quantifies the mental power a ranker can exert to think, cast spells, and more.
BTP- BTP stands for Base Total Points. It combines all the numerical values a ranker has in its base stats. It gives an approximate idea about the ranker’s total prowess and his status in the ranking journey. It is always represented in the whole number.
Base Total Points (BTP): HP + MP + STR + AGI + INT
Normally a rankless adult will have a value of 1 in all the base stats. Therefore, on average, a rankless person will have a BTP of 4 or 5.
The base stats will differ with age, gender, path, and lifestyle among other factors. They can be buffed or de-buffed with suitable artefacts, potions, and more.
**************************************
Body Stat Example:
Status of a typical rankless adult male:
HP- 1.4/1.5
MP- 0/ 0
STR- 1.5
AGI- 0.9
INT- 1.1
BTP~ 5
Status of a typical F-Rank female in the initial stage:
HP- 1.7/1.8
MP- 2.5/ 3
STR- 1.8
AGI- 2.5
INT- 2.3
BTP~ 11
*************************************************
The Ranking system:
A rankless person has to go through three steps before they can become a ranked entity and start their ranking journey. Sensing mana is the first step.
The second step requires attracting the mana within your body and forming a mana core. The third step involves activating that mana core to draw the energy from it. A person enters F|Rank when the third step is followed through.
A mana core has three phases that define the stages within the rank. For example, an F|Rank mana core will be formed right below the person’s navel after the second step is achieved. In the third step, primary mana pathways will open that will allow a person to draw and circulate the mana from the cultivated mana core.
The F-Rank mana core will first enter the vapour phase that indicates the person is in the initial stage of that rank. When mana core enters the liquid phase, it will be considered as the person entering the middle stage of that rank. And the upper stage of the rank would mean the core has entered the solid phase.
For a rank up, the core needs to be burst from within to allow for a higher tier of mana to condense and take its place. After a successful ranking promotion, a new mana core will be formed and observed to be in the vapour phase again.
But this vapour phase will be of Rank E tier. The mana core needs to go through the same three phases again until it reaches the saturation limit. It again goes through implosion once that happens and paves the way for the next rank up.
An F-Rank mana core will attract the mana of the same tier. And so will be the case for other ranks. The amount and density of the same|tier mana required to progress further in the ranking journey increased with each rank up. That’s why it becomes difficult for high ranked entities to keep on breaking through to the next ranks.
The BTP values for each rank can be defined by finding the average values spread across the ranked entities differing in age, gender, path, and more. Therefore, the BTP of each rank will have mean initial (minima) and upper (maxima) values.
Rank | Title | Ranking Condition | BTP Range
F-Rank | Novice | Elemental Activation | BTP 10-30
E-Rank | Ace | Elemental Stabilization | BTP 40-70
D-Rank | Adapt | Elemental Condensation | BTP 90-200
C-Rank | Expert | Core Elementalism | BTP 250-600
B-Rank | Master | Core Evolution | BTP 700-1500
A-Rank | Grandmaster | Core Revolution | BTP 1800-4000
S-Rank | Sage| Sage Transformation | BTP Undefined
The three stages in each rank are categorized as:
Vapour-phase- Initial-stage
Liquid-phase- Mid-stage
Solid-phase- Upper-stage
******************************************
Bottleneck:
There exists a gap between the maxima BTP of a particular rank with respect to the higher rank’s minima BTP. For example, F|Rank has a maxima BTP of 30. And E|Rank has a minima BTP of 50. The difference of 20 BTPs is called a bottleneck between the F and E Rank.
The bottleneck increases exponentially with each rank up. That’s why it becomes difficult to continue the ranking journey as you climb higher in the ranks.
**********************************************
Potions:
Potions are also ranked as per their usage by ranked entities. That means they also have F, E, D, C, A, and S ranks.
Each ranked potion further gets divided into five grades or stars. A five-star potion of a particular rank will have higher potency and effects than any of its lower-star counterparts within the same rank.
1-star: Initial grade
2-star: Mid grade
3-star: Upper grade
4-star: Peak grade
5-star: Supreme grade
The rank-wise potions are as follows:
F-Rank | Novice Potion | 1-5 Stars
E-Rank | Ace Potion | 1-5 Stars
D-Rank | Adapt Potion | 1-5 Stars
C-Rank | Expert Potion | 1-5 Stars
B-Rank | Master Potion | 1-5 Stars
A-Rank | Grandmaster Potion | 1-5 Stars
S-Rank | Sage Potion | 1-5 Stars
*****
Each ranked potion is only suitable for a mage in that same rank. That means an F-Rank entity in any stage can use the F-Rank potion of any star. But they can not consume even the initial-grade potion of E-Rank without facing severe consequences.
*************************************************
Artefacts:
Artefacts are also ranked as per their usage by ranked entities. That means they also have F, E, D, C, A, and S ranks.
Each ranked artefact further gets divided into five grades or stars. A five-star artefact of a particular rank will have higher potency and effects than any of its lower-star counterparts within the same rank.
1-star: Initial grade
2-star: Mid grade
3-star: Upper grade
4-star: Peak grade
5-star: Supreme grade
Rank-wise artefacts are as follows,
F-Rank | Novice Artefact | 1-5 Stars
E-Rank | Ace Artefact | 1-5 Stars
D-Rank | Adapt Artefact | 1-5 Stars
C-Rank | Expert Artefact | 1-5 Stars
B-Rank | Master Artefact | 1-5 Stars
A-Rank | Grandmaster Artefact | 1-5 Stars
S-Rank | Sage Artefact | 1-5 Stars
