This so-called observation period, spent enjoying life alone on an isolated island, had another benefit: he could keep the Hourglass of Impermanence inverted. With no battles or unusual circumstances, he could maintain its inverted state for long stretches, and even if it acted up a little, he could immediately resume. The Blood Curse Doll's curseflame was much the same. He had only interrupted it during the critical stage of his last experiment, fearing the curse might interfere.

He only needed to let spirit furs that had successfully awakened their intelligence grow back onto his body, and the conversion would finish after some time.
