The middle 6 stages, of both types, would be repeated as many times as possible until only a negligible amount of difference was noticed. The higher that number was, the more powerful the Cultor (a general term for Mages and Cultivators). This number is reflected in the name of the stage a Cultor was in. For example, a Mage that had gone through those stages 6 times, and was currently in the Mental Agility realm, would be referred to as a 6th Stage Mental Agility Realm expert. The same naming style would be applied to a Cultivator as well.
Even in the latter stages, the number of cycles through the middle stages would be referred to as, for example, a 6th Stage Magus Expert. A mage in that realm would also be more powerful than a mage in the 5th Stage Magus Expert Realm.
However, the middle stages weren’t suitable to be cultivated indefinitely. The years of puberty were the best time to grind through as many repetitions as possible, as beyond 20-23 years of age it would become impossible to advance to the latter stages. As such, the average number of repetitions was limited to 7-10.
