Essence
Essence is the coalesced manifestation of life energy from the
Sparks of creation itself and the embodiment of will – the closest analog to a “soul” in the iVerse. It is inherent in living things, and grows in that which is imbued with sentience – the essential part of what defines a discrete presence (a
Character) in
The Pattern. Essence is what anchors the character’s Weave.
