− | Modern [[Vorin]] teachings connect each Essence with a [[Herald]] and that Herald's divine attributes. Ancient Vorinism also correlated them with the Orders of Radiants, although these correlations were not completely accurate.{{wob ref|16195}} Each [[Stances|stance]] used in Vorin combat is associated with an Essence.{{book ref|sa1|19}} |

− | 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]].{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} However, it may in fact have some significance.{{wob ref|14636}} Body Focuses do not directly correspond to [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] bindpoints, but there is a loose relationship.{{wob ref|1100}} |
