I realized it's easy to attract powerful beings with magical abilities as long as you offer them something, and this something does not have to be material, but simply taking part in a beneficial magic practice may be attractive enough.

By now I've pretty much maxxed out how big the circle can get by recruiting, so to increase the mass of entities I've turned to simply breeding more of them. Again, spirits will want to be astrally incarnated into powerful bodies, so they will come. All you have to do is to have a plan, and to ask. Vampires are very powerful, get a vampire pregnant and now you have two vampires. This is all pretty basic, what happens is that you run out of good genetics. Genetic lines can't be increased endlessly most of the time, even when taking into account that demons and others are resistant to inbreeding, so incest is usually fine. But it still tends to max out at 4 to 6 generations. The greys are working to find endless lines and in some situations it seems to work, but those DNA types aren't the kind most of them want (they found that a very small loli type CyBorn had this endless reproductiveness, but it's not reasonable to have everyone become eternal toddlers, many spirits do not want this).

My recent discovery that blacks are actually evolved orcs was very useful. At my area on Gensokyo, I already have a goblin village and an orc village. So I set out to start an "orc Queen evolution ritual". Orcs are normally hivemind beings with no souls, so the goal here is to have them perform ritual magic and develop souls, with the focus on evolving them into orc Queens. Then once they have souls I will work with them to evolve them into the higher form, known as "space Africans" (Voodo is orc magic).
This way I can increase the number of evolved orc Queens whom I can then include in ritual circles for more power.

This is just one way in which Gensokyo can be worked with.
