Wizardly rankings and classifications
Classifications and rankings in the wizardly intervention structure vary from species to species. This listing deals with the structure as it appears on Earth and numerous other worlds where hominids have arisen or are living. From lowest to highest:
- Advisory
- Senior
- Area Senior / Advisory
- Regional Senior / Advisory
- Continental supervisory or Continental Area Senior (three for Earth: Europe, the Americas and Asia, Oceania and the Seas)
- Planetary
- System supervisory or Cluster/stream supervisory
- Arm
- Galactic
Wizards who've proven themselves ideally suited for a given level of supervision and its responsibilities may be "bumped up" to the next one for short trial periods or in emergencies, and then later fall back to their original supervisory levels without prejudice. Others may keep such promotions for long periods without actually having a change in status be acknowledged (or in some cases even noticed) by the wizards they're working with. All these titles and roles, therefore, are understood to be somewhat arbitrary and fluid. The one thing that all these wizards would agree on is that they serve at the pleasure of the Powers that Be, and that what they all do together -- slow up entropy -- is a lot more important than what any of them are called.
