>>5978223Zen ve vill build it ourselves.
My proposal is a bunch of sticks with little platforms holding rocks. Put some sort of known spiritual lodestone in the basket at the bottom of the apparatus. As the attraction/repulsion pushes/pulls the lodestone in the bucket it will lift rocks of increasing size. This could be made more sophisticated with metal weights or something, but young boy has big stone energy. This assumes that spiritual lodestones exist for each of the elements. One could build a tree with a bunch of lodestones and swing the test item under and over them to see what happens when first testing the item. Should also work for spiritually powerful beasts/people/things if they push/pull the spiritual lodestone. What is a spiritual lodestone? Anything that exerts force to try and move towards or away from a source of a particular type of spiritual energy. Kind of like how the spirits tried to bond to us (although that would require spirit thread to hold them and some sort of spirit weights to accumulate. If attraction was too strong for all your bindings I guess you'd lose your lodestone, but that's the price of being at the cutting edge of soul-science.
