Conjuration Essence

While being the most basic substance involved in summoning, Conjuration Essence is still of utmost importance. It embodies the most basic properties all souls share and is therefore involved in the creation of many more capable materials.

One can obtain some essence of their own from breaking ordinary spawners as well as plundering chests. For when a less concentrated material is required, simply sneak-right-clicking some essence on any stone-like surface smashes it into 4 pieces of Lesser Conjuration Essence
