Legend
“It pulsed like fading heartbeats as it lay on the ground, glimpsing in the shadows of enormous Trees. Her body pulsed with energy as she bowed down and snatched it up, multicolored strands wrapping up around her arm. She reached her head, sobbed loudly, and changed.”
History
The substance of the earth, essence, is shared by all things, living and dead, organic and inanimate. It’s a floating sea with more or less continuous threads, with a sophisticated pattern that mortal mortals cannot comprehend.
Despite this, some individuals learn to become one with it, realizing that there are ways to influence the patterns of this ‘crystallized’ Mana Sea. This ephemeral strength allows them to reshape reality by Hand Weaving in certain patterns and setting things in motion.

Organization
At times, the Mana Sea’s controlled energies appear to crystalize in the form of Shards or Fragments of solid matter tinged in its Realm Color. These Shards, which do not have Truenames, can be utilized as Ingredients in modifying or constructing reality, as well as in Alchemy to improve Crafters‘ Items. There are seven in the Realm of Essence:
Colour: Orange
Gender: Female
Colour: Red
Gender: Male
Stat: Constitution
Colour: Pink
Gender: Female
Stat: Dexterity
Colour: Violet
Gender: Male
Stat: Strength
Colour: Blue
Gender: Female
Stat: Quickness
Colour: Cyan
Gender: Male
Stat: Empathy
Colour: Green
Gender: Female
Stat: Intuition
Colour: Chaos (Rainbow) – Crystalized
Gender: Both
Stat: All
Gods: All
Colour: Chaos (Rainbow) – Living
Gender: Both
Stat: All
Gods: All

Special
As one becomes anchored in one of the Magic Wheel's Aura Colours, the opposing side becomes increasingly difficult to view, study, cope with, and learn. In fact, every Magic School teaches that the Magic Wheel’s exact opposite should be left alone – sort of forbidden lore. Because it has the potential to taint one’s lessons.
As a result, a Mana Manipulator grounded on Essence cannot and should not meddle with the energies of the Yellow Gods.
