Wait... didn't Ves deliberately hire about 10 or so assistants with Spiritual potential in the first place? And it was specifically mentioned that one assistant suddenly acquired potential after the Nyxian Gap? Why is Miles Tover the only one with potential now??? Is that seed something you can lose??
Hmm... I wonder if Ves can make a manufacturing machine with a design spirit? Cheat the design seed a bit like "peice of junk on 12 legs". Or like how his totems and tokens use "mech manufacturing principles" to be enough like a mech to qualify? Then the Design Spirit could handle the "Spiritual Programming" part of manufacturing! Downside would be that only Ves could make valid blueprints for the machine. Or is that an upside? Ultimate copyright protection! đ€Ł
You keep telling yourself you need to reach Senior before she does. Let the readers break the 4th wall to give you a hint Ves : - Don't give her access to the system early on even if she's your wife. As long as she favor Hexers mentality about women being better you can't allow her to gain an edge and confirm her bias. There will be plenty of time after you reach Senior.
