(Lore) Arcane Flux Event Classifications

Arcane Flux Events, known usually to the scientific community as simply AFEs, and known far more commonly still by the galactic populace at large as "Spells", although AFEs as a technical classification system also include events not of personal origin, such as those caused by natural arcane anomalies. Thanks to the existence of various arcane flux sensors, it has become relatively easy to measure the flow of magic associated with certain actions, and with that data and a thorough appraisal of the overall potential danger of certain kinds of magic, the following levels and sublevels were designed, and serve as the foundation for a large number of laws around magic.

# **Base Level 5**

clairvoyance - gleaming information from nothing, at first from random minds broadly across the galaxy, but more specific over time

4: High Civilian level; non-arcane species must register with their local government. Around 25% of unicorns are in this tier, as are the top 3% of non-arcane species

3: Restricted level; unicorns capable of this level must register with their local government. Approximately 0.5% of unicorns are this level, no non-arcane species has ever been recorded at this level.

2: Theoretical level; approximately 1 in 500,000 unicorns reaches this level, but even of those only a tiny portion will ever receive training sufficient to make use of their power. They are considered a major risk to civilian populations and all magic at this level is banned without exception for non-military personnel.

C: Complete control of local kinetic energy, including moving hundreds of tons and altering attacks from ship weapons, interstellar teleportation, forced violation of the laws of thermodynamics
B: Complete cellular regeneration, granting sentience, complete control over attacks from energy weapons, range-unlimited teleportation
A: Functional immortality through overwhelming cellular regeneration, localized alteration of temporal flow, telekinetic control over minor celestial bodies

# Level 1

1: Banned Level; magic of this level has only been witnessed once in the 400 years of standardized arcane testing. Remains vaguely defined, but magic of this level is banned without exception by all galactic governments.

D: Necromancy
C: Planetcracker energy attacks
B: Control of the fabric of physical space to create wormholes, black holes, and demiplanes

A: Any and all time travel
