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.
