An example is Portia Tolidi, who conceived a child with Francis Dorobon, a pure blood mage, which resulted in her permanently gaining the gnosis with the strength equivalent to a quarter blood mage. If the father has a strong blood rank, likely a three quarter blood and higher, the mother will gain the gnosis permanently. Normally this is mild and temporary and will fade after the child is born, however, that is only for fathers with a lower blood rank.
This condition is where the mother is gifted with the gnosis. When a male mage mates with a human female, there is a chance for what is known as 'pregnancy manifestation', a by product of the mother sharing genetic material with the mage child as it grows in her womb. The Ascendant magi are even stronger than pure bloods, four times stronger than them, so they would be equivalent to 1024x of gnostic strength.
Sixteenth bloods are equivalent as x gnostic strength. Eigth bloods are equivalent as 4x of gnostic strength. Quarter bloods are equivalent as 16x of gnostic force. Half bloods are equivalent as 64x of gnostic strength. Three quarter bloods are equivalent as 128x of gnostic strength. Pure bloods are equivalent as 256x of gnostic strength. By setting the strength of a sixteenth blood as the standard unit of gnostic strength, this can be simplified as: The three quarter bloods would then be equivalent to 2x due to being halfway between a half blood and a pure blood. By following the pattern,a quarter blood would be 0.25x, an eighth blood would be 0.0625x, and a sixteenth blood would be 0.015625x. We can take this to mean that a pure blood is 4x and a half blood is x (where x is equal to gnosistic strength). The appendix of Ascendant's Rite states that if a pure blood mates with a non-mage, they will produce a half blood which has a quarter of the gnostic strength of the mage parent. The strength comparison in pure gnostic force can be discovered through mathematics. However, when dueling, skills and experience play a key role in duels. The comparison is a simple process a pure blood is stronger than a quarter blood due to having more mage blood in them. The gnostic strength of a mage depends on what rank they are. The final rank belongs to the Ascendants, those who have taken ambrosia, and they are the most powerful of magi. The gnosis is a hereditary ability that grows weaker through continued dilution of the original mage's blood. The Keepers, the magi gifted with Ascendancy by the Rondian Empire for years of loyalty and service, were granted roughly an extra 20 years from becoming Ascendants, which is made more impressive by them being so old as they could barely walk, proving the powerful vitality of Ascendant level gnosis. Justina Meiros was over 150 years old andlooked to be a woman in her late thirties. Ascendants had immense lifespans, with Selene Corinea living from Y380 to Y930 and beyond, and appearing to be a woman just out of her prime. Those with the gnosis were granted extended lifespans depending on their blood rank. Pure bloods had great difficulty in producing children, even more so when mating with other magi, and Ascendants had even more difficulty, some being essential infertile. The lowest, the one sixteenth bloods, were functionally human and suffered no discernible problems, but moving up the ranks, infertility rates increased. After many years of study, the 16 studies of the gnosis were named and began being taught to the magi.Īll magi suffered with differing levels of infertility due to having the gnosis, depending on their blood rank.

These original Ascendants used their new found strength to overthrow the Rimoni Empire and install the Rondian Empire in its place. The original 1000 members of Johan Corineus' group each took a measure whereupon 500 of them died, 100 went irrevocably insane, 100 became Souldrinkers, and the remaining 300 gained the gnosis. At that time, the potion was vastly different to the current version, due to decades of study and refinement, and such the success rate was much lower. The gnosis was first created in Year 380 by Baramitus through the use of the ambrosia.
