Magic Levels

Magic levels are a rough estimate of a society's use and familiarity with magic.

Dead - Level 6
Societies with dead magic levels are completely incapable of using magic. They either have no connection to magical sources, or once did but are now severed from it. In some of these societies, the very concept of magic is nonsense or nonexistent.

Oblivious - Level 5
Societies with oblivious magic levels are largely not aware that magic exists outside of myths and folklore. A few individuals may be aware of, or practice magic, but actively try to not be discovered. In most cases, any magic actually seen or heard about would probably explained away as hallucination or unfamiliar technology.

Suppressed - Level 4
Societies with suppressed magic levels are capable of using magic, but for one reason or another are suppressing it. They might fear the destruction that can be caused by magic or hate the powerlessness that comes from not being able to use magic. Those who do practice magic among these societies put their freedom, or their very lives, at risk.

Limited - Level 3
Societies with limited magic know of magic, but most people are not able to use it. Those who are able to use magic either have an inherent ability or are imbued by powerful artifacts or unique circumstances. If any formal training or study in is actually done, it is likely done in secret or quite far from mainstream society.

Pervasive - Level 2
Societies with pervasive magic accept magic, even by those who do not practice it themselves. Non-practitioners are able to use magic through artifacts, potions, and scrolls. Magic suppression may still occur in these types of societies, but these attempts are likely largely unsuccessful or only successful in some parts of the world.

Integrated - Level 1
Societies with integrated magic commonly use magic in their daily lives. They do not fear magic, in fact, they find it a mundane thing that they do not even question. Even the smallest child is adept at magic and those who cannot use magic well or at all are seen as anomalies or social outcasts. In many cases, magic has taken the place of, or is used alongside of, technology in order to make people's lives as convenient as possible.

Gods of Magic - Level 0
Societies that are Gods of Magic are so intune with magic that they are basically immortal and are capable of bending reality to their whim. They might also know how to travel throughout time and dimensions through magic. They may be considered to be beings of pure magic, and might even be able to create new life.
