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}} === Body Focus === ~~{{stub}}~~ 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}} == Essences == ~~{{infobox\|cols=7\|width=70%\|align=center\|title=Essences\|1=~~ {{navbox\|cols=9\|collapsible=\|title=Essences ~~{{!}}- style="background:black; color:white;"~~ {{row\|pre=!\|pre1=! colspan=2 width=1% {{!}}\|Number\|[[Polestone\|Gemstone]]\|Essence\|Body Focus\|Soulcasting Properties\|pre6=! colspan=2 {{!}}\|Divine Attributes\|Herald Image\|pre9={{!}} width=100px {{!}}\|<!-- -->}} ~~!
