Thank you for the more precise wording.

APG suggests a Superior is needed ... but only suggests:

Eventually, relievers can
gather additional power and
additional Forces through
faithful service
.

(p. 87, emphasis mine.)

On the other hand, IPG suggests that the accretion can happen outside someone's command:

Successful infernal spirits can gain
experience and acquire more Forces.
Eventually, if they aren’t smashed
first, they will gain enough power to
become a full-fledged demon.

(p. 95)

I don't know if that's a qualitative difference between Heaven and Hell, a difference between two authors' writing style, or a change in interpretation for the line that may require an errata ... but either way, it may be worth some clarification in an expansion.

And of course, a big thing that Liber Auxilia (Book of Helpers) could provide is a sample adventure centered around minor spirits, just to show how it could be done.
