General View of the World
The wizards in my world are dozens of times stronger than the wizards in the Harry Potter universe, with even a Hogwarts student in my universe being able to defeat a movie professor.
To clearly show how strong the wizards are, I will create a ranking system. However, it is generally not applied in the HP world. It will only be used by our protagonist to understand the power gap between the people and to compare his powers with those of the people in the HP world.
The Ranking is:
AwakenedA young wizard or a child who has just discovered magic and may cause uncontrollable magical accidents due to poor magical control.
NoviceA young wizard who has just started performing spells and is doing basic magic. A student in Hogwarts during their first couple of years.
ApprenticeThese wizards have mastered their basics and have started their path to becoming a capable master of their art. It generally includes the average Hogwarts graduate and the wizarding adult population who do normal work that doesn't require much strong magic.
AdeptSkilled wizards who have mastered a wide array of spells and can control magic with great precision. They are capable of great combat spells. This includes trained Aurors or average Hogwarts professors.
ExpertWizards who have reached the peak of regular magical ability. They are incredibly powerful and can create large-scale spells easily. This includes elite Aurors who are the heads of departments for combat purposes or are in similar positions. It also includes the four Heads of Houses at Hogwarts.
ArchmageThese beings are a thing of legend. They were known as army destroyers in the past, with each of their spells able to alter the very environment and terrain. There were no Archmages for centuries, and some people even thought of them as mere legends until the duel between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, which shook the wizarding world's perspective about the power wizards could wield. These include the likes of Grindelwald, Dumbledore, Voldemort, and the Hogwarts founders.
TranscendentThe ultimate magical being—no known wizard has ever been recorded to wield such powers. Even Merlin, whom the modern wizarding world looks up to, was at the peak of Archmage and was unable to take the final step. These beings hold unnatural authority over the very essence of magical energies and can rewrite the laws of reality itself. Spells that affect entire countries and alter the weather across the globe are just a few things such a being can accomplish.
___________________________________________________________________________________
The people of this world can live longer and are very strong physically because they need to survive the backlash of such a powerful force. Even an Awakened 10-year-old is as strong as a 15–16-year-old teenager. At 15–16 (Novice), they can defeat most adults physically. An adult wizard or an Apprentice could contend with Captain America, and an Adept is 2 to 3 times stronger than an Apprentice. This mainly refers to defense and toughness, not strength and lifting ability.
An Expert is 2–3 times stronger than an Adept and can lift up to 1 ton with effort and easily withstand a few bullets.
An Archmage takes a huge leap and can lift 5 tons easily, and withstand a grenade blast head-on, walking away unscathed. That doesn't mean Dumbledore could lift 5 tons as he is quite old, but at his physical peak, yes, he could. What makes them deadly is their toughness and speed; they can easily dodge predictable spells, and their magic resistance is quite high. They can shrug off magic like Stunners from Novices and Awakened wizards and even a few Apprentices. They can easily live up to 250 years and can even extend it further.
A Transcendent is a literal god walking on Earth, with an unholy amount of magical energy and resistance. Only peak Experts and Archmages can affect them. Their magical energy has risen to such a degree that they undergo a mutation or evolution, saturating their entire body with dense mana, which acts as a natural barrier.
They can easily lift 100+ tons and withstand an intercontinental ballistic missile and even a nuclear missile by enhancing their already ridiculous physical power.
Now for Powerscaling and How Much a Wizard of Each Rank Can Affect/Destroy the World:
AwakenedA beginner who can barely use a few spells at most, able to destroy a small stool or chair.
NoviceHas learned a few more spells and can destroy a large bed or cupboards.
ApprenticeWizarding average adults are versatile, and when it comes to combat, they can at least destroy a small building with different spells over a long period.
AdeptAurors trained to fight the dangers of the world can use advanced spells to blast apart things and use shields that easily protect them from harm. At their best, they can bring down multiple buildings.
ExpertElite Aurors or Heads of Houses, who have mastered their art and are at the peak of what normal people can achieve. They have learned many high-ranking spells and can easily defeat a dozen Adept-level wizards. Given enough time and preparation, they can burn down entire towns or small cities (there's a significant power ceiling, as reaching Archmage requires vast amounts of magic and multiple masteries across different branches, such as Charms and Transfiguration).
ArchmageLegendary beings whose single spell can bring down buildings. They have mastered multiple branches of magic, and their magical energy is at incredible levels, enabling them to destroy entire city or, with enough time and effort, multiple cities. They can blend multiple branches of magic to create even stronger effects and easily fight more than a dozen Experts or hundreds of Adepts at the same time. Hiding from them is impossible, and stopping them is even more so. They are literal gods or walking calamities.
TranscendentBeings who have transcended the limits of the wizarding world. They can destroy multiple countries by invoking the very power of nature. They literally rule magic by commanding it to their desired effect. These beings shouldn't exist—"An abomination of nature." At their highest, they can destroy the very world they walk on.
NO SUCH BEING HAS EVER EXISTED IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND
