Level Rules

[PatriotArrow]

Levels are a simple way of judging how powerful your character is compared to the other wizards in the world. The most novice wizards, such as children or those who started developing their power at a later stage, or who simply aren't fighters, are probably rank 1 wizards. But those who have seem some action and done their fair share of studying are probably higher ranks. Characters starting at higher ranks must acquire exp as if starting at rank 1 and gain enough to get to the next rank to advance.

Most wizards will start out between ranks 1 and 3. When you make your character, you must agree with a staff member what sounds most appropriate for your individual character.

Letter Grades

Wizards are designated a letter grade based on their relative power, in order to help give others an idea of their general capabilities. Below is a list of what rank a wizard is based on their level.

1-2: D-Rank Wizard
3-4: C-Rank Wizard
5-6: B-Rank Wizard
7+: A-Rank Wizard
Special: S-Rank Wizard

S-rank may be obtained by any A-rank Wizard who has proven their worth and passed the S-Rank exams. In order to do so, the guild master or leader must give their approval. Among guildless wizards, one can still prove their abilities as an S-rank wizard, though the opportunity is much more rare.

* Upon reaching level 5, casters may gain a new magic, either a secondary magic, or a holder item that is bonded to them and levels up with them for free. Holders with no magic have the option to gain a primary magic, or a second holder item bonded to them (and thus its item level always matches yours).

* The secondary magic has a maximum of 10 spells, or 15 if you purchase additional spell slots with jewels.

* When you submit your new magic for approval at level 5, you get a free spell to go with it. The same applies if you add a new free holder item.

As a quick but important note, we have a slight rules adjustment we've been thinking about doing. This is for requip and celestial Summoner wizards

1. Celestial Summoners are going to gain a new key when they level up (for free) just like every other class, since so far their leveling up hasn't actually given them anything new to play with. Just like before it has to be their new level or lower.

2. Requip wizards get the choice of adding a new item on leveling up in place of a new spell. This new weapon will enable a new type of magic to be used when requipping to that item just like any other requip item. The item is made just like any other mundane weapon.

3. As always, regular wizards and holder wizards get a new spell or lacrima upon leveling.
