A recent survey conducted by the
Magic Society that polled adventurers on their
essences. The fourth essence was not included due to its unique nature. The most common uses were included with each essence. These are not indicative of abilities gained from the essence. While a Renewal essence may grant one user a cleansing ability, it may grant another the ability to immediatly reuse a cast spell. While the Blood essence may grant a highly potent poison for one, it may grant the ability to cleanse said poison to another.
