- This article is about the umbrella term that describes all Kai who have mastered all ten Magnakai Disciplines, but have yet to reach Kai Supreme Master. For the first rank that this umbrella term describes, see Kai Grand Master (rank).
Kai Grand Master is the highest position in the hierarchy of the Kai, and is given to a Kai warrior who has mastered all of the Kai and Magnakai disciplines. It was thought to be the most advanced rank a Kai warrior could achieve until Lone Wolf discovered that it was possible to become a Kai Supreme Master after the fall of the Darklords.
A female Kai Grand Master is given the title Kai Grand Mistress.[1]
Training[]
Having learnt the Magnakai Disciplines, Kai Grand Masters study the more advanced Grand Master Disciplines. Many of these Disciplines are themselves advanced versions of the Magnakai Disciplines, such as Grand Huntmastery being an advanced version of Huntmastery.
