Unlike cosmic spirit hosts, guardian spirit hosts are guided by their various guardian spirits. Most times, the guardian spirits even give up a small portion of their powers just to hasten the growth speed of their hosts. Just like Ahika, Derik, and Cyrus, they all received their paths while they were at the bronze realm. This is something people acquire at the mid-grade of the silver realm if they are lucky!
Mason who was lucky enough to awaken the wind rider path at the mid-grade of the silver realm is considered an expert.
What the heck? Even normal mages are tutored and guided by their magic spirits, but it is an entirely different case for cosmic spirit hosts. Cosmic spirits are incredibly proud beings that impact their inheritance on whoever catches their attention at that moment and then abandons them later on. They view the wielders of their inheritances as insignificant beings, not bothering to even show them the basics.
