Essences	Quote
Essence of the Gardener	"[Player], I have an Essence for you. Looks like it'll become a Summon-type weapon... and it gains strength from grazing danger? You'll have to try it."
Essence of Style	"This looks to be an even weirder Essence than last time. Apparently, proper timing is needed to properly utilize this Magic weapon." "I have no doubts you can get a handle on it easily."
Essence of Ash	"This is another powerful Essence. Looks like it's a Melee weapon, and it has the potential to execute foes. Don't underestimate it."
Essence of Fingers	"I have quite the unique Essence for you. It looks to be a chainsaw imbued with the strength of a dog god.. Or so it seems." "Whatever it may be, it should prove useful to you. Ignore the fact that it talks."
Essence of The Sharpshooter	"Here's a Ranged-type essence. It looks like every fourth shot has increased offensive properties. Whatever the reason, it's powerful."
Essence of the Pegasus	"Here you are: another Essence. This one will create a Summon-type weapon. I trust you know what that means? ..." "I'm telling you to try it out." "You knew that? Never mind then."
Essence of Perfection	"This Essence is used to craft an upgrade to Death in Four Acts. It will most likely boast incredible Ranged power."
Essence of the Hawkmoon	"This weapon can switch between Ranged and Magic. If you time its reload correctly, it always does critical damage." "I'm sure you can think of something that works around that... "
Essence of Death's Apprentice	"The weapon made from this Essence is based around music.. Timing your swings will be critical in using this to its fullest." "Also.. Doesn't it make you feel like rapping?"
Essence of the Hollowheart	"This is a Summon weapon. Holding it summons two cannons to orbit you, and you can fire from both of them. Each of them apply a different debuff." "The important part is using the other weapon to trigger the other weapon's debuff. You can figure it out."
Essence of the Dragonslayer	"This Essence will create a legendary weapon made for slaying dragons. Jump into the air and pierce your foes with its strength." "It's a Melee weapon, so craft it if you can fit it in your arsenal."

Essence of Hope	"Here is another Essence. For you. This is a Summon weapon that will transform you as well as summon crystal shards that weaken and attack nearby foes." "Hmm.. It's the Essence of Hope, but is there something else lurking beneath the surface? Who knows.. "
Essence of Time	"Here's another Summon weapon. You can attack normally with it, but striking foes with the Timepieces empowers the weapon's attacks." "Did I mention you can go back in time? It's powerful, for sure. "
Essence of the Harbinger	"This Ranged weapon allows you to enter a Melee stance, dealing more damage to foes you've hit with arrows. It should be quite engaging."
Essence of Azakana	"This Essence allows for the creation of unique dual blades which offer varying effects, and allows you to leave your body to overwhelm foes."
Essence of the Alpha	"This powerful weapon allows you to use Skill Orbs to unleash special moves. It also has a super-powered burst window. It's a Melee weapon." "You'd be well off with it in your hands.. but it does mean you have to get up close. I don't envy you."
Essence of Driving Thunder	"This powerful Melee relic allows for the expidenture of Mana to teleport and deal powerful damage. It's a new favorite of mine."
Essence of Lunar Dominion	"This weapon is made straight from the power of the Moon Lord and its spatial pillars. It'll do good in your hands."
Essence of Surpassing Limits	"From the Warrior of Light.. this Essence allows for the usage of Limit Break. It's an incredibly strong Magic weapon." "'The Light will cleanse your sins!' Or something like that. "
Essence of Static Shock	"Be careful with this Essence- for some reason, it discharges static electricity all the time." "It'll create a Summon weapon.Hopefully the electric properties carry over- it's sure to give our foes a shock."
