Gaven no longer needed to go through such hassle for the Boon of Elevation, simply disregarding all other requirements and raising their Professional Level or adding a Life Dice in one fell swoop, as long as they were beneath the Transcendent rank.
Elite Grace also had advantages that the Boon of Elevation did not, such as the chance to promote multiple candidates at once in the case of a large-scale war, provided they achieved sufficiently glorious war records and accumulated enough Experience Value on the grace. This was the best proof, as the Pitfall Brigade of over three hundred Gnolls saw an average increase of one and a half levels in their Professional Level.
One was an explosive growth, the other a slow, steady stream.
The third option, Legendary Summon, was strikingly similar to a special proficiency called leadership, an out-and-out dominion ability, capable of attracting more lieges to one's domain, including those who were Transcendent beings.
