Popularity and Renown are recognitions independent of the official ranking of the Witchcraft Headquarters.

• Popularity: represents the recognition and acceptance of a sorcerer among the general population. - Renown: represents their prestige and reputation within the world of sorcery.
• Both can increase throughout the career of any public sorcerer.
• Headquarters can influence the Popularity and Renown of sorcerers, although it does not directly control them.
• The great sorcerers known are often considered heroes and celebrities.
• The sorcerers who work for Headquarters receive payment for their services.
• Some renowned sorcerers obtain commercial sponsorships and other sources of additional income.
• The Headquarters allows the commercial use of the image of its sorcerers and does not impose too many restrictions on its sponsorships.

Witchcraft Headquarters

The Headquarters is the institution in charge of supervising, administering and regulating the world of witchcraft.

Main Functions

• Registration: Register each sorcerer from birth. - Evaluation: Examine their Unique Abilities, Mana Control, Seals, and general capabilities. - Ranking: Assign ranks according to the danger level of each sorcerer. - Supervision: Maintain a record of sorcerers and their abilities. - Security: Intervene against threats related to sorcery. - Executions: Order the execution of evil sorcerers when necessary.

Institutional Authority

The Headquarters holds a position of authority within the world of sorcery. However, it is not the only influential structure.

The great sorcerer families can collaborate with her, maintain alliances, or act independently.

Executioners Division

It is an official division of Headquarters, made up of sorcerers whose main characteristic is their loyalty to the high command.

Its functions include:

• Protection and escort of high-ranking officers.
• Security of the Headquarters facilities.
• Confidential operations.
• Murder and execution of evil sorcerers.

Although these tasks are one of their specialties, other sorcerers can also receive execution orders if they possess the necessary abilities.

The identity, ranks, and capabilities of certain members may be kept confidential.

Information Classification

Most sorcerer ranks are public. However, some classifications are kept secret, especially among those who perform confidential work for the institution.

Sorcerer Ranks and Classification

The Headquarters of Sorcery registers and classifies sorcerers according to their level of danger. This classification considers their general capabilities, skills, potential, and how difficult they are to neutralize.

Official Ranks

Building Grade: *This is the lowest recorded rank. A sorcerer of this category possesses the ability to single-handedly bring down a building.

• City Grade: *This corresponds to sorcerers whose danger can compromise an entire city.

• Nation Grade: *This comprises individuals whose danger can represent a threat to the security and stability of a country.

• Calamity Grade: *This is the highest rank that can be recorded. It corresponds to extremely exceptional individuals, whose existence represents a war-like power for nations.

Classification Criteria

Classification does not depend exclusively on destructive power. It also considers: -* Unique Ability: its characteristics, functioning, and potential. - Mana Control: mastery and precision in mana manipulation. - Seals: variety, specialization, and mastery of the different mana abilities. - General Capacity: aptitudes and resources the sorcerer possesses. - Danger: the risk it represents and the difficulty in neutralizing it.

Possessing a Unique Skill is not a requirement for reaching high ranks. A sorcerer without one can even reach the Calamity Rank if their abilities justify it.

Considerations

• Rank represents danger, not a guarantee of victory in combat.
• A lower-ranking sorcerer can defeat a higher-ranking one.
• The Unique Skill does not automatically determine the ranking.
• Ranks are mostly public, although there are confidential classifications related to certain jobs at Headquarters.

Calamity-Grade sorcerers are extremely rare. Their presence is considered a strategic and military factor by nations and the United Nations.

Witchcraft

Witchcraft is a public practice, known throughout society. Witches are part of everyday life, and their abilities have influence in various social, political, and military spheres.

There are sorcerers who use their powers for personal gain, known as evil sorcerers. Many of them come into conflict with the Headquarters of Sorcery.

Witchcraft Headquarters

It is the institution in charge of registering each sorcerer from birth, evaluating their abilities and classifying them according to their dangerousness.

The official ranks are:

• Building Grade: lowest recorded rank. The sorcerer possesses sufficient power to single-handedly bring down a building. - City Grade: individuals whose danger can compromise a city. - Nation Grade: sorcerers capable of posing a threat on a national scale. - Calamity Grade: highest possible classification. It corresponds to extremely exceptional and rare individuals.

Ranks represent danger, not an absolute measure of power or a guarantee of victory against other sorcerers.

Executioners Division

It is an official division of Headquarters. Its members are sorcerers especially loyal to the high command.

They are publicly known as the bodyguards of the leaders and are responsible for protecting the institution. However, they also carry out confidential work related to the assassination and execution of evil sorcerers.

A sorcerer outside this division can also receive execution orders if he possesses the necessary capabilities.

Calamity Level and International Politics

Calamity Grade sorcerers are extremely rare individuals and represent a war power for the nations that possess them.

The United Nations and various countries recognize its strategic importance. Its presence grants it significant international influence.

The United States has the largest number of sorcerers of this rank, partly due to its practice of appropriating sorcerers from other nations.

Great Sorcerous Families

There are large families of sorcerers who exert considerable influence over the world of sorcery in their respective countries, territories, or regions.

These families possess unique, inherited abilities, transmitted genetically. However, their transmission is not guaranteed, and the inherited abilities may vary in both their manifestation and functionality.

Families are governed by the law of the fittest: any member with the necessary aptitude, strength, and abilities can aspire to leadership, regardless of their family position.

They can maintain alliances with Headquarters or act independently.

Unique Abilities have the capacity to be inherited by the future offspring of a sorcerer, as well as to awaken out of nowhere in the blood of any individual.

Every skill has a cost proportional to the magnitude of what it intends to accomplish.

The greater the control exerted, the complexity of the action, or the effect that is being attempted, the greater the cost to the user.

This cost can manifest itself through physical damage to the body, depending on the nature of the skill and what one is trying to achieve.
Rule of Equivalences
The cost of using a skill depends on two factors:

1. Magnitude of the effect: the greater the effect that is intended to be achieved, the greater the cost.
2. Skill complexity: the more complex the action or control required, the greater the effort needed.
   Both factors can have an influence independently or in combination.

The system is governed by the following distinctions:

Unique Ability: an innate and particular capacity of each individual.

Mana Control: technical ability to manipulate and use mana.

Mana Seals or Abilities: supernatural techniques and capabilities that can be learned through the use of mana.

Affinity: natural ease in learning and developing certain natures.

Training: a process by which an individual develops and refines their abilities.

Having a Unique Ability is not a requirement to use mana, learn Seals, or develop supernatural abilities.

Innate potential, aptitude, and technical mastery are different factors. None of them alone guarantees an individual's superiority over others.

The natures of the Seals can be learned by any individual. There are no absolute restrictions preventing anyone from learning a particular specialty.

However, each person has different affinities towards existing natures.

Affinity influences the ease with which an individual learns and develops certain techniques, but does not necessarily determine their final ability.

A person can have an exceptional affinity for Attack and still possess mediocre Mana Control. Similarly, someone with an ordinary affinity can achieve extraordinary mastery through training and technical skill.

Therefore, natural talent and mastery of mana are independent aspects that complement each other.

3.1. Attack

It includes the Seals and Mana Abilities intended to produce attacks or inflict damage on the enemy through various applications of mana.

Specialization phases:

Projection: the ability to expel and project mana outside the body.

Compression: Concentration of mana in a small space to increase its density.

Expansion: the ability to expand and distribute the released mana.

Penetration: application of mana to overcome resistances.

Nature: alteration of the form and properties of mana to give it different natures and effects.

3.2. Defense

It includes the Seals and Mana Abilities intended to protect the user or other people.

It allows you to create barriers, domes, shields and different defensive structures.

Specialization phases:

Shield: Mana is used to create walls or solid surfaces in the air. These are thin surfaces that allow for large areas to be covered, but they have limited durability.

Layers: Overlaying multiple layers of mana to increase shield strength. This can reduce the usable size of the structure due to mana distribution.

Shape: modification of the geometry and size of the shields. The user can choose different shapes according to their needs. The hexagon is especially useful for building larger structures by joining multiple units.

Connection: This involves using multiple interconnected hexagonal units to form a large barrier. This construction uses less mana than creating a single, massive, and cumbersome structure.

Particularity of the hexagonal barrier:

Each hexagon functions as an independent unit. If one receives enough damage to break, only that unit is lost, while the others remain intact.

The complete barrier functions as a modular structure composed of multiple individual units.

3.3. Negation

It includes Mana Seals and Abilities intended to negate or prevent the use of mana and other Mana Abilities.

Specialization phases:

Fluctuation: a theoretical phase that consists of understanding how mana naturally flows and is distributed within a body or object. It also allows for the recognition of alterations in its patterns.

Basic negation: using an opposing fluctuation force to negate mana in the path it follows.

Denial by Force: creation of a superior force that blocks the flow of mana. The greater force merges with the existing one, causing it to cease flowing along its usual path.

Denial by Osmosis: creation of similar mana fluctuations at two different points, called A and B. Point B tends to join with other fluctuations similar to its own, causing a shift in its path towards point A.

3.4. Imprisonment

It includes the Seals and Mana Abilities intended to seal, enclose, or confine objects and living beings.

Its purpose is to restrict the target's freedom and keep them within a defined space or structure.

Specialization phases:

Delimitation: Learn to establish boundaries using mana. This allows you to create perimeters, define confinement surfaces, and establish delimited spaces.

Linkage: establishing a connection between the label and what is intended to be imprisoned. It allows the presence of the target to be recognized and maintains a relationship between it and the space of confinement.

Restriction: Use mana to limit the target's movement capabilities. This can be used to restrict movement, immobilize, or limit certain actions.

Sealing: learning how to close and maintain confinement. It allows you to close off delimited spaces, keep objects enclosed, and establish conditions to maintain the seal.

Isolation: The culminating phase of the specialty. It consists of isolating a target from its environment using a mana structure. It can be used to separate objects or creatures from their surroundings and prevent certain interactions between the inside and outside.

Power System: Mana, Unique Abilities, and Seals

The power system is based on three main pillars: Unique Abilities, Mana Control, and Seals or Mana Abilities.

Each individual has the ability to learn to use mana and develop supernatural techniques, regardless of whether they possess a Unique Ability.

1. Unique Ability

A Unique Ability is an innate capacity that is part of the individual from birth.

These abilities do not possess a universal nature or operating principles. Each Unique Ability is particular to its wielder and can manifest in entirely different ways.

There are no clearly defined limits to what a Unique Ability can achieve. Its potential depends on its own characteristics and the capabilities of its wielder.

2. Mana Control

It is an individual's ability to use and manipulate mana. It forms the necessary basis for executing Seals, performing spells, and using a Unique Ability.

Mana Control comprises four areas:

Mana Reinforcement: Using mana to reinforce abilities, objects, or structures.

Mana Distribution: ability to distribute energy between different points or applications.

Mana Control: regulation and precise management of energy flow.

Mana Alteration: modification of the properties and behavior of mana.

Mastery of these areas varies between individuals and requires training.

3. Mana Seals or Abilities

These are the supernatural properties, techniques, and abilities that can be obtained through the use of mana, without needing to possess a Unique Ability.

Any individual can learn to use Seals. However, their ability to master them depends on their training, their Mana Control, and their affinity with different natures.

The Seals are divided into four main specializations
