{{magic ~~The '''Ten Essences''' are a system of belief used by the humans of [[Roshar]].~~ \|related=[[Soulcasting]], [[Vorinism]], [[Essential Theology]] \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[The Stormlight Archive]] }} {{update\|sa3}} The '''Ten Essences''' is the traditional [[Vorin]] term associated with both [[Soulcasting]] properties and the [[Herald]]s. == Soulcasting == Each Essence is connected to a particular [[Polestone\|gemstone]].{{book ref\|sa1\|part=ars}} 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. 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=8\|width=70%\|align=center\|title=Essences\|1=~~ {{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 {{!}}\|<!-- -->}} ~~!
