Components are smaller items that build into larger, more powerful "parent" items, creating upgrade trees. When you purchase an upgraded item, the shop automatically deducts the cost of any components you already own. This process consumes the component, forcing you to choose which upgrade path to follow.

For example, you can purchase Extra Spirit for Souls800. From there, you have a choice:

  • You can upgrade it into Improved Spirit for an additional Souls800 (total cost Souls1600).
  • Alternatively, you could use it to build Surge of Power for an additional Souls2400 (total cost Souls3200).

However, once you upgrade to Improved Spirit, your Extra Spirit is consumed. To then purchase Surge of Power, you would need to pay its full Souls3200 price, as you no longer own the required component.
