I decided to do another fun little thing about the world of MHO, like when I did the writeup about magic before. In fact, this is kind of related, though it'll be less wordy. Basically, a while back, for fun, I made some notes on my phone while waiting on a doc appointment (or something, I honestly forget) comparing the relative magical "power level", if you will, of various characters that have been introduced in the series. (And a few that haven't yet~) So without further ado, I'll go ahead and recreate it here:
Level 0 - No magical abilities
Not going to bother listing them, but this should be fairly obvious. Generally applies to most characters without overt powers that've been shown in the story.
Level 1 - Sensitive
These characters can sense some kind of magical energies or other means of doing magic, either consciously or subconsciously, but don't yet know how to grasp or interact with it.
- Kuna, at the start
- Lykou, at the start, technically
- (to be revealed!)
- (to be revealed!)
Level 2 - Beginner
Just started learning to interact with some means of using magic, usually the mystical energies from the spirit world.
- Kuna, for most of the "Path to Enlightenment" episode
- (to be revealed!)
Level 3 - Intermediate
A bit more experienced, but still a lot to learn.
- Kuna, by the midpoint of the Highland Bunnies episode
- Many smaller spirits
- Half-Sylthean children and teens
- (to be revealed!)
Level 4 - Adept
Considered an expert or master among most mortal societies that have known magic users.
- Kuna, as of the Downtime episode
- Nauja
- Moyra
- Kerr
- Hokulani
- Koki
- Various spirits
- Many average Syltheans
- Young adult half-Syltheans
Level 5 - High Adept
Would be considered a local or regional legend in most mortal societies.
- Lykou, when he's using his unnamed mysterious power subconsciously
- Kairangi alone
- Sulyr
- (to be revealed!)
Level 6 - Mortal Legend
Rare enough among mortals to earn true legendary status, told about in stories through generations.
- Zynshal
- Tuimana alone (pactless)
- (to be revealed!)
- (to be revealed!)
- Lykou, using his special ability with the help of Algrytha's potion in the Kryckwood episode
- Elzhan (the Revenant)
- young adult jarzin
Level 7 - Domain Shapers
Nearly impossible for most mortals, without special advantages
- Aelana/Daisy outside of Clovaria
- (to be revealed!)
- (to be revealed!)
- "elder" jarzin
- Older half-syltheans outside their domain
Level 8 - Demigods
Mostly the domain of spirits and Syltheans, but also certain special exceptions among mortals.
- Inkari
- Aelana/Daisy in Clovaria
- Kaimana (Kairangi + Tuimana fusion)
- Algrytha
- (to be revealed!)
- (to be revealed!)
- Older Syltheans
Level 9 - Lesser Gods
- Whironui
- Aelana/Daisy in ideal circumstances (full moon, "fusion form", in their garden)
- Certain Syltheans
- Various gods
- (to be revealed!)
Level 10 - Elder Gods
- T'nari
- Various elder gods/the spirit council
- (to be revealed!)

So there you have it, a very rough idea of how "powerful" various characters are in MHO, from 0 to 10. ^^ (There is nothing above ten, what are you talking about?) Note that it's just a very vague comparison of their raw potency and capabilities, without going into cleverness and other factors. It's far from perfect, of course. And there's a fair chance more will be added later on, beyond just the "to be revealed" ones listed, if I suddenly have an idea. ^^
