Magic in the way the humans could understand was just controlling the elements that makes up this world and although it sounded easy to explain it was hard to do.
To the knowledge of human science mixed with the new era of magic they were still trying to understand the changes that were brought by this new energy and what they have uncovered so far was that the new races that have appeared had a way to control some of the elements in the world to their own will. The 10 pioneers also come to understand this; they were 9 elements that the humans knew of.
They were fire, wood, earth, metal, water, wind, ice, light and darkness. The 10 pioneers all had two of each these elements and with this power they raised to become the leaders and teachers of magic to the human race. Magic in the human race continent was divided into levels at which the strongest magicians were the 10 elders in 84 years from now who were level 5 mages.
From Seri's memories the humans's magic was divided into 5 levels so far, the 10 pioneers were the founders of the system so they described it in levels, they were still clueless of how the other races grouped their magic. The first was level 0, this one was level 0 because as many magicians were born in the 84 years with magic they discovered that other people just skipped this level and went straight to level 1. In level 0 one was needed to find the elemental energy in the world, level 1 was closely related to level 0 and some children born in the future were born at level 1 having the ability of perception.
Perception was the ability to sense things above one's normal senses; if you were born with perception then you would already be at level 1 of the human magic system and others who had strong souls had greater perception. Ounce one had perception the following stage was level 2 which was absorbing the elemental energy in the world, when the elemental energy was poured into the world it had changed also the human body making it able to absorb this energy through energy channels.
After that was the most important level so far which was level 3, in this level you would use the energy you absorbed to refine your body with the element you were compatible with the most. When absorbing elemental energy only the element or elements you were compatible with the most would be absorbed.
To refine your body with the most elements was the best choice but many could only get one element and although the council found a way to have more than one the 10 elders were already beyond the stage to be able to add another element.
After refining the body what followed was level 4 which was gathering the elemental energy into the body. Gathering your elemental element energy was a slow process and the more you had the beneficial it was. As of now the human race had 3 ways to absorb elemental energy, the first was the normal way were you slowly absorb it from the world, the second was to find a place with the most concentrated element energy and the last was the best as well as hard way which was to absorb the element energy from a magic beast core. These magic beast were one of the beast species found in the beast continent, they could do magic which made them very dangerous and if you found one that had the same element as yours it could boost your level high.
The stages of magic to humans were find the energy first if you did not poses perception, there was only one way so far to feel the elemental energy and only the 10 pioneers knew of it. Find the energy, absorb the energy, refine the body to fit your element, gather your element energy in your body and then form a magic core in your body.
From the memories of Seri, Silver got to know what level was the highest to the human race. Level 5 was where all the 10 elders were stuck at and unable to go beyond, on this level one will use their energy and form an element core just like one found in the magic beast, at this level they were strong and the other races call this level element tyro which was the beginning stages on the path of elemental Mages.
