Bab 388: The Difficulty Of Becoming A Transcendent.

Becoming a transcendent is not so simple. If it were that easy, it wouldn't claim the lives of the unprepared who attempt it. Becoming a vitality core stage refiner and a mana entity can either be successful or failed. You can't die in the attempt. Things are not so for becoming a transcendent.

There are a lot of factors that determine the success of the endeavor. The first and most important is the control of the mind. There is a need for perfect control of the divine sense. It easy to control the free ownerless mana in the environment than it is to hold on to the mana tightly bound to the body. But if you can control your mind, then you will be able to control your body.
