Faustus Hierarchy

I think what leads to hierarchy in most people is their morals and what they believe in the most.  So if they believe God is almighty and he created this world, then they would put praising him at the top of their hierachy.  I think with Faustus'es Hierarchy, he believes that if he were to find a way for magic to help anywhere within the world, that he would be the greatest of them all.  He discovered it all, so he believes he could rule the people and be dominate to everyone else.  He would be greater than God because he thinks everything else is nonsense and he would be one of a kind to find and create magic.
