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 === 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 == {{navbox\|cols=9\|collapsible=\|title=Essences {{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 {{!}}\|<!-- -->}} ▲\|- {{/row\|1\|Jes\|Sapphire\|Zephyr\|Inhalation\|Translucent gas, air\|Protecting\|Leading\|Jezrien\|Jezerezeh}} {{/row\|2\|Nan\|Smokestone\|Vapor\|Exhalation\|Opaque gas, smoke, fog\|Just\|Confident{{ref\|name=mistake\|group=nb}}\|Nale\|Nalan}} {{/row\|3\|Chach\|Ruby\|Spark\|The Soul\|Fire\|Brave\|Obedient\|Chanarach\|Chanaranach}} {{/row\|4\|Vev\|Diamond\|Lucentia\|The Eyes\|Quartz, glass, crystal\|Loving\|Healing\|Vedel\|Vedeledev}} {{/row\|5\|Palah\|Emerald\|Pulp\|The Hair\|Wood, plants, moss\|Learned\|Giving{{ref\|name=mistake\|group=nb}}\|Pailiah\|''unknown''}} {{/row\|6\|Shash\|Garnet\|Blood\|The Blood\|Blood, all non-oil liquid\|Creative\|Honest\|Shalash\|Shalash}} {{/row\|7\|Betab\|Zircon\|Tallow\|Oil\|All kinds of oil\|Wise\|Careful\|Battar\|Battah}} {{/row\|8\|Kak\|Amethyst\|Foil\|The Nails\|Metal\|Resolute\|Builder\|Kalak\|Kelek}} {{/row\|9\|Tanat\|Topaz\|Talus\|The Bone\|Rock and stone\|Dependable\|Resourceful\|Talenel\|Talenelat}} {{/row\|10\|Ishi\|Heliodor\|Sinew\|Flesh\|Meat, flesh\|Pious\|Guiding\|Ishar\|Ishi}} }} == Notes == <references /> '''Footnotes''' <references group=nb> <ref name=mistake group=nb>In the [[Ars Arcanum]] of ''[[The Way of Kings]]'', the Divine Attributes of learned/giving and just/confident were placed in each other's places by mistake.
