In TIC, gaining power is a very difficult art of the soul. You quite literally need to discover the art of a multidimensional force beyond your understanding, then graft it into your soul, atune yourself to it, practice it, and slowly become one with it. Then, you do it again, and again, each time immeasurably more difficult than the last - and then, you are one with Adagio.

Russel Raleigh's work got close. He retired from the guild in a rage over some membership issues. He reached the depths of Oratorio and was pretty close to tipping the scales - his Boon was already in Adagio, even if he didn't quite fully understand it. What he did laid the framework for it all.

So yea, he had the intellect to become a 6-D god, starting as nothing more than a 9-B.
