Chapter 4: Magic kingdom
Ares Kingdom was a magic kingdom where people with the ability to use magic were known as mages. This special talent was celebrated and respected and those who could wield magic often held important positions in society.
The kingdom was filled with magical sights, glowing crystals, mystical creatures, and magical spells. The academy trained young mages helping them to develop their skills and learn to harness their powers.
The presence of magic added a unique charm to everyday life in Ares. Festivals featured dazzling displays of magical performances which captivated audiences with breathtaking magics and powerful spells.
The power of Kingdoms was measured by the strength and quality of its mages.
The more skilled and powerful a mage was the more respect and influence they held within the kingdom. Mages were trained in various magical abilities varying from elemental magic to healing and enchantments each specializing in different areas of expertise.
The king and queen often heard the counselling of the most powerful mages especially during times of crisis. Their abilities could turn the tide of conflicts, heal the wounded and strengthen the kingdom's defenses.
As a result, aspiring mages like Julian were encouraged to hone their skills and prove their worth knowing that their magic could play a crucial role in shaping the future of Ares kingdom.

Mages absorbed the mana abundant in nature drawing on its energy to fuel their magic. This mana was everywhere, flowing through the trees, rivers, and even the air they breathed.
Once absorbed, the mana was stored in their sea of consciousness, a special place in their minds where their magical energy could grow and flourish.
As a mage's power increased, so did their sea of consciousness which then formed its own small and separate world. This world was unique to each mage filled with landscapes that reflected their elements and their abilities.
The stronger the mage, the larger and more powerful their sea became which allowed them to access greater magical abilities and deeper insights. This connection between the mage and their inner world was essential for developing their skills and understanding the true nature of magic.
The power of mages in Ares Kingdom was divided into seven major realms each representing a significant step in a mage's journey.
. Apprentice Mage: These mages are learning the basics of magic and how to harness mana
. Mage: Mages that has gained control over their abilities and beginning to specialize in their elements
. Sacred Mage: Mages with deeper insights and access to more potent spells
. Supreme Mage: Mastery level allowing impressive use of magic spells and a stronger connection to elements.
. Sovereign Mage: Powerful mages capable of influencing entire regions with their abilities.
. Arch Mage: High-level mages with immense power and knowledge which commanded respect throughout the kingdom.
. Grand Mage: The pinnacle of magical achievement possessing unparalleled strength and wisdom.
The existence of powerful mages such as Arch Mages and Grand Mages played a crucial role in determining the strength of a kingdom within the vast continent.
These elite figures were not only formidable in their magical abilities but also served as advisors and protectors of their kingdom. Their presence could tilt the balance of power in face of conflicts.
A kingdom led by an Arch Mage or Grand Mage was often respected and feared by neighboring kingdoms. As a result, alliances were often formed based on the strength of mages which made them vital players in the politics and power dynamics of the continent.
The reputation of a kingdom was directly related to the capabilities of its most powerful mages.
As powerful as Grand Mages and Arch Mages were, they were equally rare. Achieving such heights of mastery required not only immense talent but also years of hardwork, training and dedication. Most aspiring mages never reached these realms which made those who did exceptionally valued within their kingdoms.
The lack of Grand Mages and Arch Mages meant that their existence was more respected and amplified. Each one was often seen as a cornerstone of their kingdom's strength and their absence could leave a significant void.
This rarity made their powers even more grandeur which led to fierce competition among mages to breakthrough to such majestic realms. Their unique abilities and wisdom became essential assets in times of conflict, diplomacy, and protection which highligthed their critical role in the magical hierarchy of Ares Kingdom and beyond.
