Spells are organized into nine different Tiers based on effect, strength and complexity. Tier 0 or Tier 1 spells can usually be learned by any [Mage]. Tier 2 is more potent, requiring longer periods of study to learn it. Tier 3 magic is generally the bar for most [Mages], with most knowing only one or two spells of that capacity.<ref name=":0">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/11/23/1-05-r/ Chapter 1.05 R]</ref> Named Adventurers and titled Archmages can use Tier 4 through Tier 6 magic, though it varies from person to person. Tier 7 magic is largely considered a myth in a modern era,<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 1.22}}</ref> with only individuals such as [[Teriarch]] or the [[Silvenia Ettertree|Death of Magic]] being capable of casting them.

[Mages] ''can'' level by solely casting spells, but it is not very efficient.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/08/3-02-h/ Chapter 3.02 H]</ref> Studying spells allows a mage to gain far more experience, making it far more likely to level up using that method.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/11/1-11-r/ Chapter 1.11 R]</ref> [Mages] usually depend on levelling to gain Skills that can augment their casting. However, lower-level mages can cast higher Tier magic with enough practice and time.
