Tier Magic

Rank Magic or Tier Magic is the craft of magic used by the players of YGGDRASIL.

Background
Originating from YGGDRASIL, this power has made itself present in the New World. While YGGDRASIL no longer exists, the magical art used by the players is still practiced by the New World inhabitants. However, even the denizens have not truly grasped its full power and the art has somewhat regressed or stagnated, when compared to the original practioners.

Introduction to Types of Spells
In YGGDRASIL, there are more than six thousand spells. While so, those spells are separated into four categories of spells. And from these types, they are further divided by systems into defensive-type, necromancy-type, elemental-type, movement-type, and so on.

Arcane: Magic that seems more western in nature

Divine: Restorative spells used by priests

Mental: Oriental magic using talismans

Alternative: All others

Tiers of Magic
Each of the four categories of magic are divided into ten tiers, with an additional super-tier on top.

8th Tier
This magic tier was a normal level that level 100 players used on a daily basis in YGGDRASIL.

Over Rank Magics
While magic only goes up to the 10th rank, Over Rank Magic is said to go beyond that, but it acts more like a special ability than an actual spell. Magic casters can unleash it without consuming any of their MP. The number you could learn is one for each level after level 70. When it is first learned, it can only be used once a day. However, it can be used once more for every additional ten levels. The average player who has reached level 100 can use Over Rank magic for at least 4 times.

Furthermore, Over Rank Magic has a weakness that it could not be activated consecutively. Firstly, it has an activation period and certain amount of damage done to the magic caster will interrupt the casting. Secondly, although it is possible to use cash items to remove this activation period, Over Rank Magic has a cooldown time for the whole party members, that cannot be removed.

Trivia

 * Whereas Wild Magic is ancient and rarely used nowadays since the past centuries, Tier Magic is believe to be currently the modern system usable in present time daily.
