Below is one way to rank the candidates based on their Uud capacity (ordered from lowest to highest as: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, with White representing an effectively infinite capacity) combined with their Authority (ordered from lowest to highest as: Black, then Gold, then White, with White being the highest). Note that any candidate lacking measurable Authority (like Rain) is ranked last even if their Uud capacity is high.
Using that approach, the final ranking (1 = highest, 12 = lowest) is as follows:
Ceaser Grey
Uud Capacity: White (highest)
Authority: White (highest)
Princess Eleanor de Croft
Uud Capacity: Violet (7)
Authority: Gold (mid–high)
Laven Kant
Uud Capacity: Violet (7)
Authority: Gold (mid–high)
Prince Basil King
Uud Capacity: White (8)
Authority: Black (lowest)
Dregr Endramalch
Uud Capacity: Indigo (6)
Authority: Gold
Esmer Lufont
Uud Capacity: Indigo (6)
Authority: Black
Bartolomeu Gagranov
Uud Capacity: Red (1)
Authority: White(Despite his highest Authority, his extremely low Uud capacity places him lower.)
Pam Sephorus
Uud Capacity: Yellow (3)
Authority: Gold
Vanilion Kant
Uud Capacity: Blue (5)
Authority: Black
Luke Boltin
Uud Capacity: Green (4)
Authority: Black
Julia Solz
Uud Capacity: Orange (2)
Authority: Gold
Rain of Midgard
Uud Capacity: Violet (7; exceptional)
Authority: None(Lacking any measurable Authority, Rain is ranked last despite his high Uud capacity.)
This ranking reflects both the raw power potential (Uud capacity) and the refined control (Authority) as judged by the academy's assessments.
