Chapter 33: Six Intent Stages
Intents had Stages used to determine how proficient you were with them.
They were:
1 - Conceptualization
2 - Grasping
3 - Manifestation
4 - Condensation
5 - Perfection

6 - Unity
For those still in the 1st Rank, knocking on the door to the 2nd Rank, they’d work their way to Conceptualization of the Intent. Then they’d Grasp the fundamentals of the Intent in the Grasping Stage. And finally, after a ton of effort, they’d Manifest their understanding of the Intent in the Manifestation Stage.
After achieving Manifestation of an Intent and giving the go-ahead with your Evolution Path, you’d be able to break through to Rank 2 at any time.
As for the |Condensation| Stage... only those nearing the later levels of the 2nd Rank would consider progressing their Intent proficiency so much.
Your Intent would condense at the |Condensation| Stage, allowing for far more damage and versatility as opposed to those with an Intent limited to the Manifestation Stage. The difference between combatants at each of these two Stages was like that of heaven and earth.
