The spiritual foundation of a mech represented the machine's intrinsic life. The greater the foundation, the greater its strength in certain aspects.
Ves believed that strengthening the foundation in this way was a convenient way to quickly infuse a mech with more life.
Obviously, it was unrealistic to apply it to every copy of his mech designs, especially his mass produced models.
It took a decent amount of spiritual energy to empower a design to full saturation. The amount was far more than what a typical mech pilot could ever provide through spiritual feedback under normal conditions!
Although it sounded nice to empower an individual mech to the limit of what it could take at the beginning of its life cycle, the risks were very evident as well.
Imparting tools with life was not always a good idea.
How did a nutrient pack feel when it lay in some dusty crate for a couple of centuries?
