NOVEL WEB Chapter 2: Dark Stars Power System
There are seven realms of power in The Dark Stars Power system so far as no one is known to have exceeded the seventh realm of power, the Progenitor Realm.
The order of the realms are supernatural, manifestation, refined, evolved, awakened, ascended, and the progenitor realm.
The first realm is the supernatural realm and
The first level of the supernatural realm is to be able to actively sense negative energy, trait masters naturally become level 1 supernaturals. Some spell casters have a slightly special soul that can easily sense it when focusing and meditating on it. Anyone can become a supernatural if they are exposed to a special phenomenon occurrence, or exposed to an extremely high density of negative energy with the later being extremely dangerous. Without the proper protection or guidance from an expert the dense negative energy can weaken your body, mind, and soul; leave you susceptible to possession and voodooism, or even kill you and turn you to a resentful spirit.
The second level is when you train until you can resist negative energy and control it enough to absorb it without being harmed.
The third level for Trait Masters is the entire process of absorbing into the trait until you break through into the awakened realm.
For Spell Casters they have to meditate and envision what is known as a "Soul Idol" in their mind. Most of the time casters usually begin to envision their Soul Idol before the third level because they need to have a at least a 50% vivid image of their Soul Idol before beginning to absorb negative energy into it, which differs from caster to caster depending on the image their envision for their Idol. Casters will absorb negative energy until their idol until it reaches 100% solidity, that's when they will enter the awakened realm.
At the Awakened realm Supernaturals have to reinforce their Body, Mind and Idol. In this realm trait masters body grows extremely powerful each level and their traits begin to awaken their specific special abilities. Traits normally can only awaken 3 specific abilities but, some traits can awaken hidden abilities that a devastatingly more powerful or useful than normal abilities. For casters they have to get their envisioned idol image to 100% vividness as well as engrained their core spell, and auxiliary spells. The more stronger the will the more spells the Idol can endure and the more negative energy the trait can absorb before breaking through the next level. The Awakened realm consist of Beginner Awakened, middle Awakened and High awakened.
The Manifestation Realm, basically allows the supernatural to manifest their Soul Idols or Traits. The manifesting of the Soul Idol is more obvious and clear, while the traits manifestation differs depending on the master. The Manifestation realm is just one bridge realm that gives the supernatural a 5x boost by releasing the potential of one's abilities.
There are grades for trait and spell masters, that's a measurement system for the talent and traits. The grades are from F to S grade, F being the lowest and S being the known highest.
S Rank Talents are extremely rare and even they only have at best a 30% chance at reaching the progenitor realm as reaching that realm depends on the path taken by the supernatural. There is currently less then 50 progenitor realm supernaturals, and most of them are always in seclusion to look for ways to further advance , as it is rumored that the next realm may allow one to walk among the stars with no space equipment.
