{Inside The Projection}
Malik paused, his eyes landing on Zafar.
He was met with a mountain of killing intent and yet...
His blade remained undrawn.
Zafar didn't care for that.
He was already drawing glyphs in the air, runes with no medium or surface.
The boy was on the cusp of becoming a Jinn, so that meant that as a Kahin, an Arcanist, a weaver of runes, he was only a Wordsmith, the ninth class within the specialized Kahin ranking system.
Unlike the Dune Guardian specialization, Sahirs and Kahins don't unlock abilities; they either weave or draw them into being.
So their skill is measured differently.
Sahirs have ten classes; the closer the number is to zero, the stronger they are. Kahin have twelve, the same idea, only more spread out.
That naturally made the Kahin path more rough in the beginning.
