Essænce

Essænce is the raw magical energy that exists in and around the world. The force which — in its primal state — includes all forms of ‘Spell Power’ (for the realms of Mentalism and Channeling also use Essence, but in different forms), as well as flows of force which permeate the world. The Flows are linked in origin and substance to ‘Spell Power’ and many other phenomena. This magical energy flows like a river upon and within the world. The flows of Essænce can create barriers that interfere with travel and can provide energy for spell users.
It is assumed that in the beginning the three realms of magic were basically the same or a unified energy and the ability to utilise the Essænce is extremely rare.

Flows of Essænce

Invisible bands of radiation which sweep across the world in shifting patterns, they are the source of Essence power but can be dangerous to tap directly. The sites of some continuous Flows are often locations of holy places or centers of power for certain cultures.
