The A-Rank Mage Exam is held by the Adventurer’s Guild in Karthmere. Only mages with proven mastery in combat, magic, and strategy are eligible.

The exam consists of three stages, each overseen by an A-Rank proctor, who has full discretion to determine the format, set conditions, summon challenges, and adjust rules based on remaining examinees, skill levels, and personal judgment.

First Exam – Beast Subjugation Trial

The opening stage takes place within the Verdant Expanse, a corrupted stretch of forest and plains sealed under a warded barrier. Here, magical beasts — twisted further by Maelthara’s influence — roam unchecked.

Examinees are split into teams of three, their mana bound by enchanted rings. At dawn, each team draws lots to face a single beast, which must be subdued or captured alive and brought to the proctors’ warding circle by sunset.

Beast Assignments:

• Ironhide Behemoth – A colossal bear with metallic fur that deflects spells; its corrupted roar disrupts casting.
• Ashmaw Titanboar – A volcanic juggernaut whose tusks drip molten slag; wounding it risks explosive firebursts.
• Thornhide Monarch – A giant stag with ironwood antlers, launching piercing volleys and parasitic vines.
• Gloomtalon Roc – A massive predator whose screech shatters spell barriers, and enchanted stone; at dusk its plumage blends seamlessly with the dark.
• Shardback Basilisk – A crystal-armored serpent that reflects spells and petrifies with its gaze.

Rules:

• Subjugation, not slaughter — killing the beast is penalized.
• Return as one — if even one member is lost, the party fails.
• No retreat — leaving the barrier means disqualification.
• Minimal intervention — proctors save lives, not victories.

This trial measures combat skill, restraint, and teamwork under real conditions, where corruption twists nature itself into an enemy.

Second Exam – The Echoing Labyrinth

The next stage lies within the Echoing Labyrinth, a shifting dungeon carved beneath the cliffs of Karthmere Gorge. Its corridors of rune-etched stone and crystal glow faintly with stored mana, reshaping after violent mana storms that lash chambers with ball lightning.

Examinees must navigate traps, beasts, and sealed gates to reach the Heart of the Labyrinth, where the Crystalline Core pulses.

Hazards:

• Guardian beasts — gargoyles, minotaurs, and other mana-forged horrors.
• Echo Mechanic — Every spell cast spawns an Echo Wraith at the nearest reflective surface (polished stone, black water, crystal). It mirrors that exact spell back at its caster and persists for 30 seconds or until destroyed. Each wraith retains only the spell it copied for its entire duration. Rapid casting stacks wraiths, creating overlapping counters and swarm pressure.
• Elemental seals — doors demand specific magic to open, forcing teams to risk echo summons.
• Mana Storms — surges of wild energy and ball lightning that sap mana and leave examinees exposed.

At the Core awaits the Prime Echo Wraith — a flawless copy of the strongest mage who entered. Only by shattering the Core can the trial be completed.

This exam tests adaptability and cooperation under pressure. Reckless casting feeds the labyrinth; lone strength breaks against the Core. Success lies in balance, creativity, and trust.

Third Exam – The Proctor’s Judgment

The third stage is held within the Grand Hall of the Spire, under the direct eye of the Head Proctor. There are no monsters, no labyrinths — only the proctor’s scrutiny.

Examinees are summoned in small groups, subjected to the crushing pressure of the proctor’s mana, and judged on their reactions, intent, and resolve.

Passing is determined solely by the proctor’s intuition. Power alone is not enough; only those deemed worthy in character as well as strength advance.

Those who pass the A-Rank Mage Exam are granted not only their official title, but one unparalleled gift: in the closing ceremony, the Head Proctor will bestow upon each new A-Rank mage any single spell they desire. Using an ancient rite, the spell is imprinted directly into their soul, regardless of origin, element, or lost age.

The rite cannot grant impossibilities — such as immortality, undoing death, or rewriting the laws of mana itself — but within the bounds of magic, no spell is considered forbidden.

This privilege — coveted by every mage on the continent — is the true prize of the exam. For many, the chance to claim a spell otherwise unattainable is worth more than wealth, power, or glory.
