Essences

Essences are special consumable items, which can affect the game state or give special temporary bonuses to the player and their team. They are nontransferrable (Bound) and will disappear from a player's inventory 10 minutes after pickup. An Untapped Essence spawns every 10 minutes on one of the altars on the map, which is announced in chat including the location of the essence. A player can choose which form will the Untapped Essence take, and each form has a 25 minutes cooldown when used, which can be bypassed by The Essence of Eternity.

Currently active Essences can be seen in Tab list (enemy teams' in red and allied team's in white color).

Cithare Compass can be used to locate the altars. Altars block spawn placement in a 10 block radius sphere around them.
