Drained Essence A liquid substance containing the vitality of the living thing it came from . When consumed , it has age - reversing effects , although the lasting properties of the essence depend on the race of the victim - Gelfling essence lasts for a long time , while Podling essence only lasts for a few seconds . A being drained of essence is completely without willpower or energy , and is easy to order about , making a perfect slave , as the Skeksis soon discovered . They also have withered faces and empty , milky eyes . When SkekTek discovered how to drain essence in his laboratory , the Chamber of Life , the first victims were Gelflings . After there weren ' t any more left , Podlings were used instead . The process of draining essence is as follows : the victim is restrained in wormscrew clamps . The most disturbing form of restraint occurs by the clamp used to forcefully position one ' s neck so that the individual is not free from moving its eyes from the powerful beam of the crystal . The eyes are forced to stare into the the Dark Crystal . Their essence leaves their body and flows through a tube to the side , where it is collected in a vial for later consumption . Only the Emperor is allowed to drink essence , although early in the Skeksis ' existence , when it was easier to come upon , all of them partook of it . Being drained of essence and made into slaves was the ultimate fate of all captured Podlings , and when Kira was captured by the Skeksis , she was going to have her essence drained . However , only a few drops of her essence were collected before the animals in SkekTek ' s laboratory helped her escape .
