Is a mage still restricted to three subtypes within the new system?

Jonathan casually saunters through the streets of Abresi, as he frequently does. There was a time when he feared for his life in doing so but that time was gone. He had not seen Sabel in years and he had long since dealt with anyone he suspected to be a Hatter. He had changed much since he had last Sabel, and his only regret was that he wouldn't be able to 'show' Sabel the new him. ((Voidsoldiers gone completely dark. Nothing saying he was leaving on the forums and hasn't logged on in nearly 2 months. Unless another has taken control of the hatters, I think they're gone))

Now first of all I ask that you do not meta game this information. Before your character starts doing it, please find out in rp. That said, the way you do it is actually rather simple. When first starting out, have your character meditate in a quiet area and attempt to clear their mind. Once, it took irl months of meditation before one could connect to the void however that is no longer the case. How long you choose to meditate trying to connect to the void before you actually succeed is up to you, however as a general rule you shouldn't get it on the first go. Anywho, eventually you make your character succeed connecting to the void through meditation. How people choose to emote connecting to the void for the first time differs from person to person and theres no real set guide line other then your character will feel it. Some have nose bleeds, some gasp and open their eyes, some pass out, be creative! Oh and a role play tip. Only emote what people see. A lot of beginner mages will emote *closes eyes and trys to clear mind Or something along those lines of their mind reaching out. Emoting should be what people say, so instead do something like this (also break it up so people have time to respond) *closes eyes, his brow furrowing in concentration *breathing slows down to deep and controlled breaths *stays completely still for some time, his breathing calm And then work from there. This breaks the concentration/connecting process up so people have a chance to stop you (a less experienced mage can loose concentration from so much as a loud and sudden noise and even an experienced mage will loose concentration if they're hit with something) and also only emotes what people see. As for your concern about tiers. Technically speaking, the actual tier system itself with what you can and can't do is gone, as mages are equal to warriors now. BUT tend to loosely go on a tier system of beginner, noivce, adept, expert and master, or something along those line just to give an idea of where they are at with magic. A more advanced mage will cast more powerful spells, cast quicker, and get less tired. Hope I helped and post any more questions you may have :) If any existing and more qualified mage then I objects to any of this by all means say so

((Not sure if serious...))

Somewhere in Anthos, the first hatter and so called traitor, Jonathan slowly clenches his fists as word of increased hatter reaches him "One day Sabel" he says quietly under his breath, trembling slightly and his fists still clenched "One day"
