Evolving Soul Aspects

[Mama_Ducks]

Hi yall, I am so extremely lost on how to evolve soul. I know I have to use the certain skill correlating to the wisdom. But when I go to evolve, lets say Shapt, at the St Januarius shrine, it only gives me the option of creating a secret threshold. Any help would be appreciated

You need to put two of the same soul aspect in there with a skill that you've placed in the tree of wisdoms, and of course the tree of wisdom slot has to match the crafting bench. It doesn't work with every soul aspect though, and I'm not sure of the exact mechanics tbh; I just tried different pairs of soul aspects until I found the ones that could be upgraded. I suspect that different skills can upgrade different soul aspects.

I have been investigating this extensively and I am close to getting a chart out.
Here is how it works:

1) The position on the Wisdom Tree will give one of two possible soul piece
2) The committed skill you used to get that soul is "attuned" to that skill only. If you are to use that skill to upgrade a soul, it must be THAT piece of soul and no other
3) You upgrade two of the same piece of soul by using them together with one of the skills attuned to it, but you have to do so in a workstation that has the "evolve" status for that wisdom line.

The main problem is that you have to combine 3 different things together and throughout all those, at least one aspect much match everywhere otherwise you won't be able to use the upgrade workstation.

So, if you look at the TELESCOPE for instance. It can only accept ROSE or SKY skills and soul pieces. So although it can be used to evolve a soul with a skill attuned to HOROMACHISTRY, it will only work on a piece of soul that has SKY or ROSE and with a skill that also has SKY or ROSE. Only the Fet Soul has the ROSE aspect, so only the Fet soul can evolve though the TELESCOPE. So now you need to make sure the HOROMACHISTRY SKILL you pick to place on the wisdom tree has the ROSE aspect and that it gives you a Fet, otherwise you can't use that perticular skill to upgrade though the telescope.

ConsciousSoul is correct. If you want to game it a little it's not a bad idea to make sure the skill you're placing has an aspect in common with the soul it gets, but in general you don't need to worry about it too much. You don't really need ++ and +++ soul aspects, it just makes certain actions a little easier. More of a "nice to have" than a "can't win without them"

1. click the various workstations around the house. The ones with an extra symbol that say "challenge" are the ones that can upgrade soul cards. You need a skill in that school of wisdom to upgrade a soul at that station.

2. You have to upgrade your souls with skills you have assigned somewhere on the tree of wisdom. That skill will be attuned to a soul aspect (the aspect you got when you assigned the skill), and can only upgrade that aspect. So you can't upgrade mettle with say, a herbs and infusions card, because it's not attuned to that aspect.

3. You can't use the same skill or the same upgrade station more than once when it comes to soul upgrading. You get 1 upgrade per skill and 1 per workstation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Upgrading a soul card basically combines two cards. So don't upgrade unless you have a LOT of one card. Because you will have one less soul card in total, and it can make things hard if you only have one or two soul cards of an aspect. It can help get high level books or rooms unlocked, but you need to have some low level cards so you can do more things.

What happen if I put a skill in Horomachistry that doesn't have rose, am I screwed? In my case I put "The great sign and the great scars" which is grail and knock, and atuned it with fet. There is no Horomachistry station that can atune this!

You can evolve that in the St Tentreto workstation - Fet being MOTH/Rose can go in there, and Great Signs being Grail/KNOCK can go in there. If that workstation is inaccessible to you, you can also use memories with "Evolve via Horomachistry" in any workstation that accepts the memory and Fets

Wow didn't know you can evolve via memory, good info! Where do I find which memory I need to craft? Do you know which memory to use to evolve my "The great sign and the great scars" attuned to Fet?

[Tom Diepstraten]

The memories will have a new aspect on them that's the same as on workstations, 'Evolve via horomachistry'. This is actually one of the easiest ones to find, because it's on a really common low level memory. Full details at the link below (obviously a big spoiler for anyone trying to find the info themselves):

The easiest one to get is definitely the occult scrap, which you get from reading the newspaper
