Wizards are multidimensional beings that are able to overlay their own personal reality onto the reality around them. Every Wizard is aligned with one of three aspects, Creation, Destruction, and Paradox. Being a Wizard means that your capacity for mana production is unlimited, and is entirely dependent on your experiences. Some parts of Creation are simply antithetical to Destruction, like white and black don’t mix without producing gray. Paradox, which does both, will never fully understand the white and the black. An average Wizard of Creation in the height of their power could have an infinite and endless amount of magic in their core, allowing them to create entire worlds at a whim. A Wizard of Destruction could wipe away entire planets, or even destroy concepts. A Paradox Wizard could create a new form of magic that turns out to have existed from the very start of time, time travel with enough experience, and even survive death.
At the start, you will find yourself capable of Accretion starting at the First Foundation. At the end of this path lies the first true act of Wizardry, making mana and yourself at the same time. All Wizards must become a fully crystallized-mana being, granting them metaphysical weight while still maintaining a fleshy body. This is what it means to reach the Endless Foundation stage. Until then Directed Accretion will have to suffice. Directed Accretion is the process of siphoning personal mana towards parts of your spirit and body, be it in a general or detailed capacity. Even upon reaching Endless Foundation you will retain The Script.
First Foundation: gain a shard of a core.
Second Foundation: gain a solid core.
Third Foundation: gain a second core.
Fourth Foundation: gain an arbitrary number of cores.
Fifth Foundation / Endless Foundation: Crystallization, simultaneous absorbing of all cores, simultaneous body manifestation. True immortality and immutability.
