Planar essence
From PathfinderWiki
- See also: Planar substrate, element, quintessence, and essence
Planar essence, synonymous with planar energy or planar power, is the essential substance and energy of a plane. Many kinds of planar abilities, creatures, and practices find ways to harness or infuse planar essence.[1]
The form and content of planar essence varies wildly between planes based on their alignment or element,[2][3] and while it sometimes can be extracted or distilled from planar matter with material manifestations or effects,[3] it can also be abstract in nature. For example, the essence of Elysium can be the spirit of cooperation.[4]
Manifestations

- The bullets of a planar rifter, and rifters themselves, are infused with a plane's essence.[3]
- A planar harmonizer can shield themselves with the essence of their home plane.[1]
- Aphorites are mortal beings infused with the ordered essence of Axis.[6]
