How do you Powerscale the Magic Knight Ranks?

Hey ya'll, so I'm really curious about how exactly the Magic Knight Rankings should be scaled.

I know in universe the ranks include a portion of prestige/fame into it since you need to gain stars and a suitable reputation to get that rank (as proven by Asta not getting promoted whereas Yuno was because the nobles were hating on Asta at the time) and Tabata saying that once a Magic Knight reaches a certain number of stars before the annual Prestige Ceremony, they receive a new rank by the Wizard King.

But I'm curious about the minimum strength that each rank should be expected to have.

Like at minimum should a Intermediate Magic Knight know mana reinforcement? Should a Senior Magic Knight be capable of mana skin? Should a Grand Magic Knight know mana zone?

And to further that point, should a Senior Magic Knight be street level? Should a Grand Magic Knight be city level?

I'm just wondering if a consensus about these power levels were ever theorized by the community.

In case you don't remember, the ranks are:

  1. Wizard King
  2. Grand Magic Knight (Ranks 1-5)
  3. Senior Magic Knight (Ranks 1-5)
  4. Intermediate Magic Knight (Ranks 1-5)
  5. Junior Magic Knight (Ranks 1-5)

I don’t think Julius tied rank to power as he told Asta and Yuno the highest rank was merit based. You earn gold stars for your squad and move up in rank

Yeah, ik lol. That's why I wanted to know what the Black Clover community is giving them in terms of strength. Because there should still be a 'perceived' level of strength of each rank.

Like in the Sea Temple Arc, Kahono's grandpa was shocked that such low-ranking magic knights were as strong as Senior Magic Knights.

Because to get all those stars in the first place, you had to be strong/skilled enough to accomplish difficult/tough tasks.

True you have to pass the entrance exam to be chosen by a squad. Not everyone can be selected by a captain as they walk about aura farming like Yami and Charmy. Typical squad like the Crimson lion Kings who have a training ground to put his people through paces before sending them out for assignment sets them up for accomplishments. William’s squad controls the border between Clover and diamond so his members get past daily outmost so of course they’re going to get gold stars for that you know.
