Going through this for the scaling, this is what i think might change
1. Tessia is a high silver mage and the statement is plural in nature

I stared as Tessia stroked the pendant like it was a newborn. The elven princess was a powerful mage on the cusp of being a white core, a beast tamer capable of leveling mountains… yet, her narrow shoulders and her thin, pale arms seemed so delicate.

So her and other High silver mages should be scaling to 2.5 Megatons
2. Arthur was noted to be mid-silver when the MHS+ (now sub-rel) feat was done. So the scaling starts from there instead of high-silver

Varay, who had been silently studying me, finally spoke. “I see your training has gone well. You’ve just stepped out of the initiate silver stage and into mid-silver.

3. I think we should ditch the mana core multiplier scaling for some reasons
i. it's not directly stated which is an auto disqualifier these days

Multipliers come from direct statements instead of being reasoned from something else. That means, for example, that if a verse has powerlevels or statistics, the doubling of a statistic or power level should not be concluded to correspond to the power of the character doubling, unless it is clearly specified to work that way.

ii. it's not consistent in the way it's applied. for example, dark yellow core mages are regarded as slightly weaker than solid yellow ones in AP and speed

1.Dark-yellow core (downscaling slightly from Solid-yellow core mages as they aren't that much weaker)

1.Dark-yellow core (downscaling slightly from Solid-yellow core mages as they aren't that much weaker) - at most High Hypersonic (mach 40) , likely lower

but there's a whooping 14k difference when it comes to LS (5 million vs 350)
I think it's better we take care of it now before someone tries a downgrade in the future
for replacement scaling, i think baseline silver core mages can downscale to baseline low 7-B
Mid-high Yellow core mages can scale to 40% of mid silver arthur via this

With a smile, I increased my mana output to forty percent. A thick wave of mana burst out of me as well, but it was different from Madam Astera’s. While her mana took the form of a sharp and chaotic gale, mine manifested as a refined wave-like pulse.

this is a way more direct statement and kinda contradicts the whole 20 times weaker thing
Glory should be superior to Astera and she's somewhere in the yellow core stage (would look for the specifics)
40% of baseline low 7-b is 400 Kilo. Baseline yellow mages can scale to baseline high 7-C (100kt)
everyone below that just scale to 8-C in the absence of personal feats.

4. The LS scaling might gain a significant boost. Lyra has a feat of withstanding Mica's Black hole from a few feet away as opposed to Seris's feat. lyra is much weaker than seris so that's a good upgrade for high tiers
that's all i can think of for now
thoughts?
