== 1. Overview ==
Mage is the broadest term for anyone who practices magic through the direct manipulation of their own mana via a magic circuit. What defines a Mage is not affiliation, tradition, or method, but the physical basis of the practice: the mana drawn upon originates from, and passes through, the practitioner's own body.

Effects produced through an external mediating device, such as a Magic Stone, do constitute the practice of magic, but do not qualify their user as a Mage in the strict sense. This distinction holds even for individuals who possess no magic circuit and are otherwise incapable of casting; such individuals may still produce magical effects through such devices, yet remain outside the classification of Mage.

== 2. Branches ==
From this common root, several distinct branches have emerged. These branches are not mutually exclusive, and a practitioner who belongs to none of them, or whose specialization has not been established, may simply be referred to as a Mage without further qualification.

'''Wizard''' — affiliated with the Arcane Academy, engaged primarily in research, education, and theoretical study.

'''Sorcerer''' — draws upon communion with elemental spirits.

'''Witch''' — practices independently within the Witchcraft tradition, outside institutional structures.

'''Warlock''' — specializes in combat magic, holding rank within a military structure.

'''Blood Mage''' — a hybrid branch blending elements of Witchcraft, Wizardry, and Sorcery, oriented toward the medical applications of magic.

== 3. Wizard Rank ==
Within the Arcane Academy, Wizards hold graduated rank according to scholarly achievement. Those who attain the highest tier become eligible for candidacy to the office of Grand Chancellor.
