The big mage ran his fingers through his hair. That potion changed things. It could bypass Bloodline limitations and move people a Rank over their limits.
For those like him, who had Dragon blood, it wasn't much of an issue. But for the Beastkin, the Elves, the Fae species and those with Monster blood, it was practically a Divine Gift.
They had never even dared to hope that they could make it past their bloodline limits.
The Elves and Fae could theoretically reach Immortality. But something about their compatibility with the System left them stuck at random spots. Nobody understood why, but the older Dragons said it was just part of the System awakening, and if they waited a few hundred more years, the problem would go away.
However, if you were stuck at Commander or Royal Rank in a city full of Overlords and Totems, those would be two hundred really lousy years.
