This book looks old but unread. Like an afterthought that was forgotten. The author complains that wizards and warriors write about using elemental essences to create magical scrolls, the enchant arrowheads or create grenades, but how none of them ever promote potions from essences/ You take note of one particularly interesting recipe that involves earth essence and is supposed to toughen your skin. You wonder what you could do with other essences, should you find any.
