Does Spiritual Attunement upgrade into Spiritual Enlightenment? It would seem they should as they seem more like abilities then items, but that's my opinion.

They're entirely separate. This is for the same reason that we don't force people to buy a VR station when they would like an Uplink Station. Sometimes (like Harry here), you're only interested in the one and not the other. As for why it's an item and not an ability, I'd imagine it's for simplicity. It ties it in with the other special, non-Nexus, non-Omni's-house verses; the other two require different items currently to enter (Banishment Circle for Underverse, Uplink/Artefact for Dataverse), so it makes it easier to think of them all as 'item-locked' verses. Also it makes it easier on folks that want to be 'world-travelers', not taking a bite out of their Powers Cap.

Of course it's entirely possible (not planned at the moment as far as I know) that this could change in the future, but if we like changed the uplink stations into a Technopathy ability, it would make things pretty complicated. So for now and the foreseeable future, that's how 'tis. =P
