Spirit Engine, Prism & Paradox

1. The Spirit Engine

Unlocked past Awakening Rank 10, it grants 1 Spirit Orb per Rank above 10, and auto-queues Research up to the Zenith. Orbs buy 6 very powerful upgrades.

Upgrade	Value
Soul Absorption "Gain [Power] equal to [x] of [Souls] that you collect.	2
Chrono Harnessing Enemies appear [x] Faster. Drops to 0% as the Wave approaches the Zenith.	10
Phantasmal Growth "Passively gain [x] Enchanting Levels per minute.	5
Inner Reclamation "[x] Passive Reclamation Rate.	10
Ethereal Advancement "[x] Research.	4
Incorporeal Insight "[x] Cheaper Research.	9

2. What to buy first

The first Orbs are scarce: spend them where they compound with the rest of your progression.

3. Chrono Trials (weekly)

Competitive mode: you may Enter once a week, Friday to Monday. Trials pay out rewards and Gems. It's a steady premium-currency source — don't skip a week.

4. The Paradox Gate

An optional end-game challenge mode with its own items (Paradox Wand and Anchor). It's the content to aim for once the Spirit Engine is well underway — a build test more than a passive-progression source.

By now, your best decision is still the simplest: Awaken regularly, keep Research queued, and let the Spirit Engine compound. Patience beats active farming.
