Mastery
Ranks and divisions for the skills you're building.
Mastery is Synlit’s ranking system. Pick the things you want to get better at — writing, running, a language, a craft — and create a mastery for each. Progress is measured in LP, and LP moves you up a ladder of ranks.
Mastery runs on its own track. LP and bits are separate, and nothing elsewhere in Synlit adds LP by itself: you earn it by applying actions you define.
Every mastery climbs the same ladder, starting at Iron III with 0 LP:
| Rank | Divisions | LP needed |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | III, II, I | 0, 100, 200 |
| Bronze | III, II, I | 300, 400, 500 |
| Silver | III, II, I | 600, 700, 800 |
| Gold | III, II, I | 900, 1,000, 1,100 |
| Platinum | III, II, I | 1,200, 1,300, 1,400 |
| Diamond | III, II, I | 1,500, 1,600, 1,700 |
| Master | — | 1,800 |
| Grandmaster | — | 2,100 |
| Lumenit | — | 3,000 |
Each mastery’s card shows its rank, a bar towards the next one, and when its LP last changed. Crossing a threshold in either direction is marked as a promotion or a demotion.
Actions
Section titled “Actions”An action is a named button on a mastery — “Wrote 1,000 words”, “Skipped a run” — that changes its LP when you apply it. The button shows how much LP it can move.
In Simple mode an action is a flat amount, either + Gain or – Lose, with optional randomness around it: 10 LP give or take 5, for example.
Switch to Formula to build the amount from parts: numbers, parameters, random ranges, the mastery’s current rank or LP, arithmetic, comparisons, if/then/else, and the functions min, max, clamp and floor.
Parameters are values you fill in each time you apply an action: a number within a range, a yes or no, or a choice from a list of labelled options. An action with parameters asks for them before it applies. “Pages written × 5, plus 20 if the answer to Before breakfast? is yes” is the kind of rule a formula is for.
LP never goes below zero. If an action would take it lower, it stops at 0, and the history notes what the formula actually produced.
History
Section titled “History”Each mastery keeps a history of every action applied to it: the action, when it was applied, how much LP it moved and where LP ended up. Open it from the mastery’s menu.
Masteries can be searched and dragged into your own order.
