Official Magus Rank 3

The sixth rank a magus must pass through is the Official Magus Rank 3. It is preceded by the Official Magus Rank 2, and succeeded by the Morning Star Magus.

This rank is the maximum rank achieved by most magus in the South Coast Continent. Because of the lack of techniques and resources for cultivation.

## Description

The requirements to advance to a rank 3 Magus was for Spiritual force reaches the boundary of 200, and to solidify their spiritual force to 100%. There are three stages in the spiritual force: vapour, liquid and crystal forms. These spiritual force particles, upon approaching rank 3 would gradually be condensed. Through the three stages of vapour, liquid, and crystal, they would condense further to form point mass. The difference in strength between every rank is estimated to be between 3 to 5 times. As a result, newly promoted rank 3 Magi and rank 3 Magi with crystallised spiritual force would have an unimaginable difference in strength. the estimated spiritual force of a rank 3 magus is between 200 - 400.

* The data computation of the spiritual force in the third rank was split into three sub-ranks and and their corresponding abilities had significant disparities.

After all, 100 kilograms of cotton and 100 kilograms of steel might weigh the same, yet their density and durability were completely different.

The spiritual force statistic varied widely between the different phases of the third rank. Between the Vapor Phase and Hydro Phase, a huge difference existed, and with the Crystal Phase, the disparity was even more terrifying.

Magi with such abilities could already be considered as reserve duty for Morning Star Magi. Spiritual force in Crystal Phase was the exact base material for the construction of ‘point mass’!
