No, I love it. it's super cute to think about what the spirit *might be* one day, and that's it's a baby spirit and aww look how cute it is without a purpose, still growing up.
Maybe they could sell rope ladders to help us climb out? Or emergency energy rations, or miners' lamps? It is fun to think what they might sell, but I agree it is frustrating when I want to sell my rocks and so have to trek that bit further (then again, maybe I'm a bit lazy!)
