So, I guess this will actually be two questions.

1) When reading articles like Raian Getsueikirite and Kenshin Yagami (Spirit), I always notice that while their main preference in battle is Zanjutsu, they also seem to hold a Grandmaster level of skill in Hohō as well. Why is that? Would that mean that they have achieved the Grandmaster Domain in TWO areas of the Zankensoki? Conversely, beings like Echo and Nephthys who are primarily Grandmasters in Hohō don't possess the same level of skill in swordsmanship. So, is does this mean that one can be a Grandmaster in two areas?

2) What constitutes a Master/Advanced Master of Kidō? What is their mindset? Is it more powerful than other combat areas or is at all perspective? I know that it takes more than just firing off a bunch of spells to be a Master. So, what set of skills and magical instinct does one have when they reach this precipice?
