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. It is unknown whether the Heralds or the Orders of Knights Radiant originally associated themselves with a specific gemstone or Essence.[citation needed]
