The Collector activated the secondary ability of Higher Calling: the capacity to evolve goblin subspecies into higher variants of themselves. Those forcibly evolved could also be connected to the Collector's mana pool, regenerating infinitely so long as the Collector possessed the mana to sustain it.

However, there were several limitations to this ability. The higher the subspecies of goblin, the more difficult it was to force them to undergo evolution to their next subspecies variant.
