Per-character save record Confirmed

Confidence

Confirmed for every offset in the table below. Each is cross-referenced against at least two of: a Ghidra-dumped function, a captured save-state observation, or a GameShark cheat with a labelled effect.

Reconciled contradictions

+0x130 is Magic Rank, not character level

The captured Noa + Gala 4-level jumps show +0x130 ticking +1 per level-up event regardless of the levels gained. The Level 99 GameShark cheat sets the same byte to 0x63 (99). Both readings reconcile if +0x130 is the Magic Rank: setting it to 99 unlocks every magic / summon at maximum power without affecting the character's combat level (which is derived from cumulative XP via legaia_save::level_for_cumulative_xp).

+0x161..+0x178 is the summon-level array, not spell levels

The prior SpellList::levels field claimed +0x161..+0x184 was a parallel "spell level" array. The All Summons Level 9 cheat stamps 0x09 into 16 bytes at +0x161..+0x178 - one byte per summon ID, not per spell. The corrected accessor in legaia_save::CharacterRecord is summon_levels().

The +0x120 cap constant

Across every captured save, +0x120 reads as 100. The level-up overlay writes this constant on every level-up event regardless of character or stat. Interpreted as the hard ceiling the record-side stats clamp against; the runtime then re-projects through FUN_80042558's 0x3E7 clamp on the live copy, so equipment / buffs can push past the record-side cap up to 999 in battle.
