There are two main paths of power in this world:
The Mage Path and The Warrior Path.
Mage Path
Mages use Mana to cast spells and manipulate magical energy.
The Mage Path consists of:
Novice Mage → Low Mage → Intermediate Mage → Advanced Mage → Great Mage → Archmage → Transcendent
Mana is completely different from Inner Energy.
Warrior Path
Warriors use Aura to strengthen their bodies and enhance their combat abilities.
The Warrior Path consists of:
Novice → Ordinary Warrior → Expert → Great Expert → Lord → Great Lord → Transcendent
The letter grades sometimes used to describe a warrior’s overall abilities are only rough references:
E→ D → C → B → A → S
They are not absolute measurements of strength.
At the lower stages, physical abilities are the most important factors.
As a warrior reaches higher realms, however, the body, mind, and soul become increasingly important.
Breaking through the limits of a Great Lord requires more than physical strength.
Loki’s Path
Loki belongs to the Warrior Path, but he does not use Aura.
Instead, he possesses something completely different:
Inner Energy.
Inner Energy is a power connected to life and nature.
It is neither Mana nor Aura.
Its principles, limits, and true nature are not yet understood by the people of this world.
For Loki, this means that his path may resemble that of a warrior...
But it does not follow the same rules.
