## Trivia

* Fire, water, wood, metal, and earth essences refer to the Wu Xing, the five elements of classical Chinese. Their potion effects and their relations to each other is based off this.
* The essences listed on this page are similar to the ones listed on the chromatic essence page, however extraction of those "elements" result in more of a crystalline structure and cannot be consumed in comparison to the consumable-liquid essences present here.
