Half-Blood Advancement

From Guidebook

These are the Advancement prompts and details for the Half-Bloods. Threads used to fulfil thread prompts can only be used for one prompt, they cannot apply to other prompts.

Half-Bloods are born, so there is no other way to reach Sanguine (Untrained).

Sanguine (Untrained)
Although you are more than human, you are still a font of untapped potential. There is power in your blood, you only need to seize it and shape it to your whims.
Touched (Dabbler)
At last, you've seized part of your birthright and are beginning to see the full breadth of what you may accomplish. Only the edges, but you're learning what threads to pull, what notes to play, what words to speak, to bend magic to your whims.
Aberrant (Novice)
You are in the grasp of something greater. Comfortable in your power, you fear to wonder... Is there more to learn? You are so strong already. However, perseverance and self-discovery will help you manage higher ranks that only few ever manage to attain.
Herald (Apprentice)
Coming soon.
Scion (Master)
Coming soon.
Apotheosis (Legendary)
Coming soon.
