Actually, that's not at all what I'm going for here. If someone does not have desirable traits to be a Spirit Detective, they either get overlooked or become a Hand. The world isn't supposed to know about the Reikai, even if it's just a select few. Very few people are trained to effectively use their spiritual powers, and none of them are done so formally by the Reikai. The Rando Arc actually highlights all the possible ways people might be trained with their Spirit Energy, so defer to that. The only exception to this is if they have Soul Resonance with another potential Spirit Detective, but if that was the case, your character would be pushed through.
- Hand ― A hand is normally considered the assistant of a Spirit Detective and are often also spiritually aware. Hands are often skipped over by the Reikai due to conflict with personalities, greater ties to their existing life or an incompatible soul wavelength. Sometimes the Reikai rejects them due to demonic heritage. In history, Hands have been known to surpass their Spirit Detective counterparts in power and become legends themselves, but their methods of doing such are often questionable and result in them being hunted down as criminals. A Hand is often considered vital to a Spirit Detective due to a weaker variant of soul resonance that exists through their bonds of friendship.
