Skill Levels

Each dragon who wields an element has a certain level of experience with their element(s). This experience is refereed to as a skill level.

Skill level
This skill level applies to someone who can barely use their element(s), or has no control over it. Typically only young children are at the beginner level, unless there is some strange reason a dragon's abilities have been hindered from being properly developed. A dragon of this skill level has control over their element, but it is very weak. Also to join the Core, a dragon must have at least a proficient elemental skill level. A dragon of this skill level has control over their element and it is strong enough for some combat use. A typical citizen usually only reaches the adept skill level, they have no reason to become more skilled. A dragon of this skill level has control over their element and it is strong enough for real combat use. This is as far as a dragon will ever make it in skill level without training.

 * Expert

For a dragon to be accepted into the Wardens, they need to have at least an expert skill level To reach this level, a dragon must go through training. The master skill level opens up new types of element manipulations.
 * Master

It is normally the highest skill level for an Apprentice and the lowest from a Keeper. An elemental fury can only be done by dragons of at least the master skill level. To reach this level, a dragon must go through training for many, many years. The grandmaster skill level is the highest level a dragon can reach by training alone and is when a dragon knows almost everything there is about their element.
 * Grandmaster

Most Keepers have the skill level of a grandmaster. The elemental skill level of transcendent is nearly impossible to reach; it is said that no dragon can train hard enough to reach that level and that they must be blessed at birth with divine power to ever dream of reaching such a hallowed level. Also only dragons of the transcendent skill level can achieve a divine elemental fury
