Sub-Spirit Gear

Sub-Spirit Gear are equipment items to which special abilities known as Epiphanies have been attached through the use of Sub-Spirits. In particular, this allows the cultivator to use Mutually Exclusive Manuals, Law-Exclusive Manuals from other laws, or to bypass certain Cultivation Stage requirements. They can be used to drastically improve the power of Xiandao characters. 
As this page is currently a Stub, we recommend reading the Googledocs Guide on Subspirits by Kurt from the Discord.
== How to use ==
A cultivator can gain Sub-Spirits after reaching Primordial Spirit rank; these can then be used to attach Epiphanies to worn items with the "Attach" option from the craft menu (the same one used to make artifacts). Sub-Spirit Gear cannot be worn by either Shendao or Body Cults, but may be worn by Outer Disciples.

Sub-Spirit Gear created by a cultivator will not have any activation requirements if they are equipped by the original owner. The activation requirement only kicks in when a cultivator or outer disciple equips spiritual artifacts made by another cultivator. 
When equipping Sub-Spirit Gear made by a different Cultivator, none of the Epiphanies attached to the Sub-Spirit Gear will activate unless sufficient numbers of pieces of Sub-Spirit Gear made by that specific cultivator are equipped.
