The Ten Essences is the traditional Vorin term associated with both Soulcasting properties and the Heralds.
Soulcasting
Each Essence is connected to a particular gemstone.[1] In order to Soulcast (via fabrial) an object into a new material, a Soulcaster must use the gemstone that corresponds to the new material's Essence.
Vorinism
Modern Vorin teachings connect each Essence with a Herald and that Herald's divine attributes.
Body Focus
Vorin doctrine also associates each Essence with a "Body Focus" related to the human body. Khriss believes that the concept is attributable to Vorin philosophy rather than any actual aspect of Rosharan Investiture.[1] However, it may in fact have some significance.[2] Body Focuses do not directly correspond to Hemalurgic bindpoints, but there is a loose relationship.[3]
