The Spirit Beads that were already quite rare as items that were left behind by a purified Spirit had value, so not everyone targeted the possible locations where they would form, as they would try to preserve them.
There was profit involved if they dropped, but it was not always a guarantee, so not everyone would be so willing to take the risk of preserving it if it meant ending things faster.
It all depended on the priorities of those confronting the Spirit or Evil Spirit, especially if it was considered to be quite dangerous.
If it were considered a danger, then there would be less of a reason to hold back from using the fastest possible method to defeat it so that casualties could be avoided.
If a Spirit Bead did form inside the form of the black bandage Evil Spirit, then Ash wondered what type of size and shape it would take, as it would need to fit inside its body and still be concealed.
