Hammock replied, saying, "Maybe self-sufficiency was a priority when the four pathways were created. But it is not as if other pathways can't refine and upgrade their own Divine Metacs. It just requires something called the mastery of the pathway."
"The mastery of a pathway is the level of understanding of the mechanics of operation of a pathway. It is gained by observing the operation of the Supreme Metac with the Insight Stat."
"This brings me to the second option of upgrading Divine Metacs. When your mastery of a pathway is high enough, not only can you use the secret recipe to upgrade a Divine Metac yourself, but you can also come up with the secret recipe on your own and create more Divine Metacs on your own."
"However, this method is expensive to use because using the Insight Stat to comprehend the pathway costs lifespan. And if your Insight Stat is weak, you can send up to ten times more lifespan to gain the same amount of mastery compared to someone with a higher Insight."
