Essence

Essence is, for lack of a better term, the "stuff" that holds worlds together, as well as Mortals and Spirits. There are 9 non-hybrid types of Essence, split into two main categories: Primal and Non-Primal. Most Mortals have exactly two types of Essence, and Spirits generally have three types, although exceptions to this rule are rather common. Essence is also colored according to the person it resides in, although under normal circumstances, you cannot see it.

## Primal Essence

### Air Essence

Air Essence is a Primal Essence, incompatible with Earth Essence in most cases. Mortals with Awakened Air Essence can run faster than normal, and those with dominant Air can also jump higher. Particularly strong Air Essence also allows faster mining and possibly flight.

### Fire Essence

Fire Essence is a Primal Essence, incompatible with Water Essence. Awakened Fire Essence grants the user complete immunity to fire and lava, and those with dominant Fire can also weaponize it.

### Earth Essence

Earth Essence is a Primal Essence, incompatible with Air Essence in most cases. Awakened Earth Essence reduces damage from almost all sources, and if it is dominant, grants faster mining as well. Those exceptionally gifted with Earth Essence can summon Earth to shield them from attacks, and can break Bedrock as well.

### Water Essence

Water Essence is a Primal Essence, incompatible with Fire Essence. Awakened Water Essence allows the user to breathe underwater indefinitely, and if dominant, the user is more capable of fighting underwater and in rainstorms than those without. Exceptionally strong Water Essence users can cause floods and walk on water.

## Non-Primal Essence

### Life Essence

Life Essence is very rare among Mortals, and arguably the most powerful, as those with Awakened Life Essence can heal themselves faster than normal, and also have greater vitality. Users can also create life, drawing from their own supply.

### Ender Essence

Ender Essence, an Essence almost exclusive to Endermen, allows the user to create their own Enderpearls and teleport at will. Those who can master Ender Essence can teleport between worlds and peer into other dimensions. Those with Ender and Fire Essence can sometimes predict where other Ender Essence users will teleport to, APPARENTLY...

### Divine Essence

Divine Essence, also known as Light Essence, is near-exclusive to Spirits such as Perramos. It can be used to enhance someone's physical power, create life, and breathe life into inanimate things. It can also be used to create inanimate objects. Divine Essence may also be transferred to another individual, as Perramos does with his appointed Guardians of realms. Divine Essence is known to sometimes become Demonic Essence based on sudden changes in the personality and behavior of the user.

### Demonic Essence

Demonic Essence, also known as Dark Essence, is near-exclusive to Spirits such as Hedenlator. It can be used to enhance someone's Essence based power, and can destroy all things that are created, though its use is risky as it can cause insanity if not regulated properly. Demonic Essence may also be transferred to another individual, as Hedenlator does with his appointed Guardians of realms. Demonic Essence is known to sometimes become Divine Essence based on sudden changes in the personality and behavior of the user.

### Nature Essence

Nature Essence is All types of Essence converged into one type. It is the first type of Essence, originating from the Tree of Death, a powerful ancient Tree which is considered sacred. Trees are considered to be Nature Essence in physical form, and someone who masters Nature Essence is capable of tapping into the power of all other Essences to a limited extent.

Awakening Essence can be done in many ways, including but not limited to extreme test of physical endurance, living with nature and becoming closer to it, or simply by receiving training from a powerful Spirit. [REDACTED] has managed to brew a potion that Awakens Essence about one day after consumption, unfortunately, brewing the potion is very expensive.

## Hybrid Essences
