The system of Profession names is a rather simple prefix-name system.

Base names (simple)

Each of those professional "lines" is one in which the Profession highest requirement is a single Potential.

Tier
Potential
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Agility ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Constitution Defender Protector Barrier Guardian Sentinel Wall Bulwark
Dexterity Pointer Piercer Gouger Stabber Borer ? ?
Focus Watcher Sentry Spotter ? Monitor Observer Watchman
Fortitude Organiser Planner ? Opportunist ? ? ?
Intelligence Arcanist Aetherist Aethershaper Spellwrangler Spellbringer Spellthrower Spellbender
Presence Pilot Leader Commander Tactician Strategist General ?
Stamina Shieldbearer Shieldbringer Shieldwielder Shieldrunner ? ? ?
Strength Breaker Smasher Grinder Destroyer Mauler ? ?
Wisdom Mender Hospitaler ? Fixer Ancillary Physics ?

Examples:

Mixed names (dual)

Each of those professional "lines" is one in which the Profession highest requirements are a pair of Potentials.

Tier
Potential
2 3 4 5 6 7
Agility-Focus ? ? ? ? ? ?
Agility-Intelligence Aethercaller ? ? ? ? ?
Constitution-Presence ? ? ? Advisor ? ?
Constitution-Wisdom Layman Page Squire Banneret Knight Lord
Dexterity-Fortitude ? ? ? ? ? ?
Dexterity-Intelligence Scout Explorer ? ? ? Pathmaker
Focus-Stamina Torchbearer ? ? ? ? ?
Fortitude-Strength Rock Boulder Pillar Monolith ? ?
Presence-Stamina Showman ? ? ? ? ?
Strength-Wisdom Crusader ? Cavalier Paladin ? ?

Examples:

Base prefixes (simple)

Those prefixes are added to denote that the Profession requires an additional, lower-value Potential. This starts at tier 3.

Potential Prefix
Agility Light
Constitution Massive
Dexterity Precise
Focus Example
Fortitude Resilient
Intelligence Calculating
Presence Imposing
Stamina Abiding
Strength Solid
Wisdom Cautious

Examples:

Mixed Prefixes (dual)

Mixed prefixes indicate the presence of two additional potentials of lower value than the main one(s). The order of appearance of the prefixes on the descriptor matters. This starts at tier 5.

Agility ? Rapid ? Steadfast ? ? ? ? ?
Constitution ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Opposing ?
Dexterity Prompt ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Wisdom ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Inflexible ?

Examples:

Multi-prefix professions

Starting at tier 7, some Professions start having the potential for multiple prefixes, as they have one main requirement, and three additional requirements.

This causes some Professions to have multiple forms. Examples:
