Mindset

Sometimes it would result in something being lost and inflicting some kind of extra burden upon the Balance Breaker.

The ritual Ash had performed required a cost which was the lives of others while it had additional after-effects which still influenced her but it was to be an expected cost for such a great gain.

Any ritual could come at a cost.

Each cost could take something from herself or could inflict something onto her as a result.

Other methods would not require a personal sacrifice and it was possible to make an offering that would be suitable enough for what would be given.

Each little offering that would be required was already written in her book so all that Ash needed to do was make preparations to gain each one before actually going through with it.

Whatever the natural laws were or what balance needed to be maintained, Ash had already stepped outside of such things and she believed that such things were not beneficial for her.
