CROSSFIRE ASCENSION: WORLD CODEX

Compiled Federation Terms & Cultivation System Guide

⸻

🔰 AWAKENING PROCESS

Every cultivator begins unawakened. The path follows:

Unawakened → Core Spark → Core Form → Core Solidification → True Core

Once a True Core is achieved, a test determines the cultivator's path based on core traits, mental state, and soul resonance.

⸻

🧬 CORE TYPES (Qi Core)

Type Description

Standard Core Single qi type. Most common.

Dual Core Two qi types. Stable but harder to balance.

Black Core Corrupted, damaged, or sealed. Extremely unstable.

Unusual Core Rare traits like beast attraction or resistance to soul probes.

📌 Some awaken with an inherited core fragment or latent bloodline signature, triggering a path shift.

⸻

🌟 CULTIVATION PATHS

After awakening, students are assigned one of five major paths:

Path Name 🔎 Focus Area

🌪️ Elemental Caller Magic, elemental art, rune shaping

⚔️ Combatant Martial mastery, qi weapon wielding

🌿 Supporter Healing, herbcraft, restoration
