So does that mean that you have a magical SOTA that goes up and down?

SR1: Normal level
GR1: Advance in Magical SOTA
SR2: Decline in Magical SOTA, but still a bit above SR1 (since adepts are
there)
GR2: Advance in Magical SOTA
Awakening: Advance in Magical SOTA
SR3: Decline in Magical SOTA (Adepts, but no ritual Sorcery)
MItS: Advance in Magical SOTA

It gets even better if you include things like QE, UB, BD and BC, which all
incorporate new magic elements.
