Right, but my point was that there might be ways for a spirit's scores to increase on a *practical* level without the spirit actually *changing*. That is, there are ways to explain a player changing "Rage of Pure Darkness: 18" to "...: 3W" on the spirit's character sheet, without the spirit actually changing--perhaps because the PC now understands the spirit better, or perhaps because the PC has enabled the spirit to "remember" powers it already had (just as a god can "forget" and "remember" powers owing to the amount of worship it gets).
