Circlebreaker (Untrained): You've performed your first ritual--you know there's more out there to discover, but you haven't even grasped the basics. You've earned the lovingly derogatory term of 'circlebreaker' because you'll be breaking a lot of circles. Be careful.
Conjuror (Dabbler): Finally, you've seen some success with your experiments! And... Things are happening to you. Not bad things (you hope), but you're certainly starting to see the world in a different way.
Thaumaturge (Novice): Already, you are something to be reckoned with in the secret realm of magic. Human problems seem far away, but beware the hubris of power.
Augur (Apprentice): What was life before magic? You've gotten to the point where you can write your own spells and mundane problems seem like distant things. Easily solved.
Magus (Master): You are to be lauded. Not only have you come this far, you are a veritable font of knowledge and expertise.
Archmage (Legendary): Your name is known on this world and maybe in many others. You have drawn the attention of otherworldly things, for better or for worse.
