A world where magic exists those who have magic are nobles and those who dont are plebs

  about 6% of the total pop is a mage due to the fact that even if a mage and a non mage have a child there is less 2% chance that the child has magic power and it is automatically arcane when it does

  Every mage is born with an affinity to at most two elements(perhaps more but those havent been discovered yet)

  occasionally plebs are born with magical affinity and when they do it is automatically the arcane element

  therefore arcane is the lowest magical element

  over generations those arcane elemental mages develop an element (water fire earth or wind) while the arcane element vanishes

  one must note that the developed pure element is always stronger than the pure arcane element and a person who has both combined

  This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

  further development of that pure element results in a secondary branch affinity which eventually will become the stronger main element like earth would become rock> iron> steel ...

  as a result the further developed an element is the higher ones standings are

  a dual elemented mage is a high noble or a king

  a pure elemented mage is mid noble

  an arcane elemented or half developed mage is a lower noble

  our mc is called Elyas and is a half developed earth arcane noble

  and Elyas has discovered a secret that no higher mage would ever allow to exist
