Cover/Jacket Text:
You have joined the cabal of wizards and now your power
grows. Soon, when the ritual has finished, all will know the wrath of the
Ivory Fang!
From forgotten tomes of magic to the schools of wizards, now comes forth
a deeper exploration of the realm of Essence!
The Essence Companion delves deeply into the magical realm of Essence magic.
Inside, you will find new professions, variant rules, new options, and a
wealth of spells.
Here is what you will find inside...
• Three new professions that use the realm of Essence: the Warrior Mage,
the Mana Molder, and the Runemage.
• More than a dozen new training packages for characters to develop. Many
of the packages focus on some very specific aspects of the realm of Essence.
• New definitions within the realm of Essence that allow further customization
of your Essence spell user. Now you may be a Somantist, a Nomenist, an Herbalist,
a Corpist, or a Crystalist.
• Optional rule systems for learning skills and spell list specialization.
This includes a discussion about structures for learning.
• More than 30 new spell lists for the realm of Essence (including Open,
Closed, Training Package, and Base lists).
•
Detailed tables showing magical properties found in herbs and animal parts
(just how much magic is there in an "eye of newt?").

Notes:
Due to contractual problems between the authors of the Essence Companion
and the original ICE, a large part of the print run for this supplement
was destroyed and as a result it is very difficult to find a copy of this
particular supplement. The good news is that the Guild Companion has made
arrangements with the new ICE and the authors and will be making this available
as a pdf file in the future.
