The Kardashov Scale is a method of measuring a civilization's advancement compared to others. The main factors include: Technological Advancement, Magical Prowess and Cultural Affinity. The scale has five designated categories called Type 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, where 5 is the most advanced.

This scale only tells us roughly how far a civilization has come, concepts like teleportation and portals are only possible with magic. So a civilization may have the technology of Ancient Rome, but have individuals with enough magical prowess to teleport or create portals.
