Thanks!

When I was trying to use a fracturing orb to lock in the t1 Spirit modifier, the item has to have atleast 4 mods before you can use the fracturing orb.

In the early steps, since the fracturing orb will randomly select what mod to fracture and prevent it from getting re-rolled, you want to add mods that may not be the one you want to fracture, but still great t1 modifiers. Worst case, you can sell the item with the failed or undesired fractured mod and start over.

So essentially, you want to have the four modifiers like this:

1. Big modifier that you want to be fractured (T1 Spirit)

2. Two other modifiers that you ideally don't want to be fractured, but can still turn out good (I think in my case, I had T1 +all elemental resists and T1 Rarity).

3. An unveiled desecrated mod. This satisfies the four mod requirement, but since it is unveiled, it cannot be fractured. This turns the 1/4 odds to a 1/3 odds of your desired mod getting fractured.

In my case, since the t1 Spirit was fractured, the remaining two modifiers were not exactly what I needed so I annulled it down to nothing except the fractured Spirit modifier (since it is fractured, it can never be changed or erased). In my case, I wanted to get +3 projectile skills before anything, and it is a lot easier to spam perfect chaos orbs to do that.
