Technically Ketis is already a successful example. She was young, strong, stable and driven when she developed her spirituality into a sword. With the intelligence boost her capacity increased. The difference between the tests is that the person in question needs a catalyst. Since the mind, body and spirit changing is inevitable you need to direct it in a way that fits your identity or self. What fits ketis was a sword, what fits expert pilots is their force of will, what gave jhanzi her spirituality was her bond with Q and what made her an expert pilot was her developing her will. Transcendence via statue is doing both steps at once. By making a trial of totems enforcing each of the indicators and stuffing them with attribute candies leaving the transcendence statue for last you will proberbly get a satisfactory result. The spiritual ninjas that infiltrated the vandals before heading to the starlight megladon must have interacted with something like a totem and considering that they were making new ones constantly the five scrolls must be way ahead of Ves when it comes to this stuff. But it doesn't look like they have it down to a science as they can't control the outcome of what the totems can do or maybe the totems connect to known spiritual entities and they use that to channel their power into useful abilities. Like if I'm sort of close.
well this could help with future generations training regiment and the exposure to glows could toughening of the mind. Ves will need to see what one who has spiritual essence already and see if they will resonate to become a canididant. Now that Lucky is producing gems and they tend to be focus of what Lucky is expose too like the torture of prisonersđ¤
