	Undoubtedly the use of batirines would have spread beyond Drithidiach in time in any case, but there were three factors that accelerated the process. First, not content with her power in Drithidiach, Ja-Rai shared her creations with other onirarchies as well, in exchange for favors and influence there. Some Drithidian officials saw this as a betrayal, but Ja-Rai had too firmly entrenched herself in the power structure by then to fear any reprisals. Second, a [[K'eng]]an [[dream mage\|mage]] named [[Tsuai Hieh]] [[reverse engineering\|reverse-engineered]] a captured batirine and figured out how to emulate Ja-Rai's procedure for creating them. Finally, the rise of the [[Drithidian Empire]] exposed other lands to batirines that were previously unfamiliar with them. In any case, by about the year 800, nearly every extant onirarchy had numerous batirines in its service.
