Official Magus Rank 4

The seventh rank a magus must pass through is the Official Magus Rank 4 Or what is also called Morning Star Magus. It is preceded by the Official Magus Rank 3, and succeeded by the Official Magus Rank 5.

## Description

The road to the Morning Star is vast and long. Many Crystal Phase Magi do not even have the chance to come into contact with this bottleneck, with that being said, The first threshold for advancing to the Morning Star realm is for their spiritual force to reach a critical value, filling up your entire sea of consciousness. One has to condense their crystallized spiritual force into a point mass. The requirements for a Warlock to advance was largely similar to a Magus, with the only difference being requirements in the bloodline.There was a huge difference between rank 3 and rank 4, Magi at rank 3 and below mainly use spiritual force. However, once that is crossed, the Morning Star, Radiant Moon and Breaking Dawn Magi will have to come in contact with the soul force and pay extra attention to explore the potential in their soul.

***The Morning Star realm for humans*** is ***equivalent*** to the **Elder Dragon in our Dragon race**. At this position, the power of domain has penetrated into our bones, and our dragon might have also been developed to the limit. In addition, all our spiritual force, magic power, physical strength and even bloodline will, under influence of some rules, concentrate into ‘point mass’. This point mass is what humans call ‘**Morning Star**’, and what we call a ‘**Dragon Crystal**’.

the Morning Star realm, it is where Magi pathways will become condensed. All creatures of the Magus World at this realm are all the same. Point mass formed from hundreds and thousands of energy all can refine one’s strength. Hence, there is a difference like that between heaven and the earth between Morning Star and rank 3 Magi.

Morning star rank is divided into 5 stars with the 1 star being the weakest and 5 stars being the peak. There is a special 6th star level, of which the user can fight evenly with a radiant moon magus, and can only be unlocked by very rare geniuses. The spiritual force of a rank 4 morning star is between 500 - 1000. Soul force is between 50 -100

* The point mass represented everything to a Magus. It represented their journey, **bloodline**, **strength**, and even **soul**!
* Hence, this process was irreversible. The moment the ascension to the Morning Star realm failed, and the point mass grew unstable, a terrifying explosion might occur.
* If a Magus encountered such a situation, they would be left without a corpse.
* **Historically**, the Magi who failed to ascend to the Morning Star realm and fell far outnumbered those that had succeeded.
* The power of the point mass, also known as soul force, was the next evolution of spiritual force. Only Morning Star Magi could possess such a thing.
	+ Magi who were below the Morning Star realm, without a soul force defence of equivalent power, did not have the slightest chance of resisting these blades. This was the reason Morning Star Magi had almost no enemies at rank 3. Soul force was just too terrifying!
* As the holy land of Magi, Sky City was the most advanced research centre in the central continent. It had independently come up with a standard to measure the strength of a Morning Star.
	+ They had divided Morning Stars into five levels represented by five Stars, with a One Star Magus being the weakest. A grade of Four Stars was already at the upper tier of Morning Stars, while Five Stars was the peak! However, even Four Stars was already terrifying. Most of the Morning Stars were around One to Three Stars.
	+ Morning Stars at Four Stars or above were absolutely powerful, and even Radiant Moons would be apprehensive when up against them.
	+ Sky City might be called the holy land of Magi, but there were few Morning Stars of this calibre among their ranks.

## Trivia

* There are a total of twelve ranks a human can achieve. These are split between three acolyte ranks and nine magus ranks, where Magus ranks 1, 4 and 7 are greater bottlenecks.
* Even in ancient times, Morning Star Magi were the rulers of a region and hence could have had a role in the Final War.
* Only through the continuous concentration of the spiritual force, can it crystallised and turn into point mass, before promoting to a Morning Star Magi.
* In addition, destiny could not be grasped so easily. Even the coin could make some wrong predictions, especially in a place like the central continent where almost every area was overseen by Morning Star Magi. They would affect destiny even more.
* **prophesying** about a **Morning Star Magus is really troublesome**,**especially with the presence of the Morning Star domain**. Coupled with the radiation from the Magus himself, even a **Radiant Moon Magus** **specializing in** **prophecy** **spells** cannot solve such problems. He needs someone that is at least a **Breaking Dawn**, and he has to be an **expert in prophesies**…

* Morning Star strength was already able to slightly affect the force of the river of destiny.
* The strong grasped their destiny. This was an eternal truth.
* “**Silence**!” Leylin and Robin shouted simultaneously to stop her.

* Based on **legends** of **the ancient Byron Empire**, when Morning Star Magi **completely died**, their soul would return to **the astral plane for eternity**, floating in the deepest part of the astral plane and waiting for their next chance at **reincarnation**.
* **Morning Star Warlocks** used **astral stones** very sparingly, and if it was not necessary, they would not try to pass through with **their real bodies**. Instead, through their soul force, they would prepare a **clone** or **puppet**, and things would be fine.
* Techniques and body tempering spell formations that could increase the vitality of Morning Stars was very rare in the central continent.
