Matter 1 - Shaper's Glance

Like a fine artisan, the apprentice learns to recognize structures and materials both hidden and plain - secrect drawers can be spotted, materials analyzed, and weak spots and imperfections spotted.

Matter 2 - Simple Transmutation

An object can be transformed from one substance to another without changing it's basic shape or nature (solid to solid, gas to gas, lead to gold, air to poison gas, water to acid).  Simple objects can also be conjured (water, food, air, a simple sword, bullets - no machines)

Matter 3 - Craftsman's Touch

Objects can now be transformed into different types (liquid to solid, solid to gas, etc) as well as altering the mass, structure, and dimensions.  Even simple machines can be created. If a mage is sculpting a material into a different shape, the object moves like water to assume its new shape or metal can be molded like clay by hand.

Matter 4 - Complex Transmutation

Conjure complex machines (cars, motorcycles, guns), craft rare or strange materials (gold to orichulum, silver to lunargent), craft permanent complex items from their component materials.

Matter 5 - Atomi Manipulation

This level of manipulation allows the magus to rework matter into strange, unnatural forms,  Density, weight, boiling points, and friction may be altered, creating paper-thin armor, bullets that slide through steel plate, and gas that is never consumed.  Two materials can be treated so as not to interact with one another at all, enchanting water that flows through stone or a sword that passes through steel.  Machines can be made so perfectly that they repair themselves.
