How to unlock the Carving a Path achievement in Ascend Hand of Kul - Definitive Guide
To unlock this, you must have a spell in the dark, void, and light disciplines simultaneously. Since you can ascend and change your alignment every five levels, the earliest you can get this after your second ascension at level 10. Here's what I did:
1. I started out as a Dark player and was given the Fireball spell for free during the tutorial quests.
2. When I reached level 5, I ascended and changed to Light. This put me at level 3.
3. Between levels 3 and 10, I was given the Brilliant Strike spell.
4. When I reached Level 10, I ascended again. This time I chose the Void and I was now at level 7.
5. I bought the Seekers spell (5,000 souls) from the menu and the achievement popped.
If I had been patient, I could have saved the money, as I was later given the Crystal Storm void spell, but Seekers is a very useful spell so the money was well spent (and I've upgraded it since).
You should plan ahead of time to get this achievement, since it will require ascending (restarting at a lower level with almost no gear) two times. This piggy backs with Champion of the Gods, as that achievement requires you to ascend three times and you need to ascend twice for this achievement. Just plan to change alignments and make sure you've acquired a spell in your alignment before ascending.
There was originally an issue where you would lose your spells when you ascended. This has been patched as of 9/13/13 and now all of your spells are considered Legacy Items and carry over with you when you ascend.
I'm on TA regularly, so asking questions in the comments questions will get you a quick response.
EDIT 9/29/13: My friend tried this and told me Seekers cost him 10,000 souls. As the game is in beta, it is not unusual for prices to fluctuate, and this may cost you more than the 5,000 it cost me. I also do not know if the level you currently are affects the price of spells. Please let me know in the comments if Seekers cost you more than 5,000.
EDIT 10/1/13: Ereaser NL, moogless and BaronVoNewman all confirm Seekers cost them 10,000 souls.

What happens is that as you progress through the story you are granted a spell by your patron god.
They give you the single target shot spell (Fireball, Seekers, Ionized Bolt) when you first start out. Then, IIRC, when you stab Kul with your dagger they give you their respective AoE spell. When, you kill the first "boss" you get a third one. Ascend and pledge allegiance to a different God before each event and you'll get all three.
So in a nutshell:
-Start as Void, be awarded Seekers at the start of the game.
-Play until you can ascend. Ascend. Pick Dark.
-Play until you are awarded the AoE spell (spikes something?)
-After getting the spell, play until you can ascend. Ascend. Pick Light.
-Play until you get Lightning Shield.
-Alternatively instead of playing until you get Lightning Shield you can just buy Ionized Bolt for 10k souls instead.
Replace various factions and faction specific spells for the appropriate ones.

Totally messed up my ascending by ascending the first time at L11 -_- Now the prices are a bit more expensive (10k-20k, as 3rd ascendant L15)

You need to learn a spell from each god; for this you need to level up at least three times and each time you need to choose a new god. The first spell will be given to you at the beginning of the game when you first choose a god, in order to get the rest you need to kill bosses - this is when you find a statue of a wolf and fight in the arena with its owner.

Why bosses? You can simply buy them in the spells tab. We ascend, worship another god and you can buy a spell.
