Tier

Tier is a mechanic added by Mana and Artifice. Your Tier determines what Spells, blocks, items, armor, Cantrips, and Rituals can be crafted or used, it also limits the complexity allowed for spells. You start the game untiered, you achieve Tier 1 by obtaining and reading a Codex Arcana. Tiers are gained by completing tasks listed in the "Progression" tab of the Occulus. To advance to Tier 2 you must sleep in a bed after completing the required tasks. For Tier 3-5 you must complete your chosen Faction's Ritual after completing the required tasks.
