Introductory Organic Mechanisms and Essence Flows is a text dating from the Golden Age under the Anathema.

Several fragments are kept in the libraries of the Heptagram, though there is much argument over the validity of the theories it seems to espouse, which do not fit well to either Silurian School or Kinetropic School understanding of Creation’s underlying mechanisms.

Key to understanding the specifics of Essence’s effect on cellular transport is the fact that at no point do actual Essence interference effects take place. One of the most common misapprehensions of the beginning student is that, in order to enhance activity, Essence motes will be bound into the cellular transport chain at some point, usually during three-sugar synthesis, in the place of bound sugars.


Of course, nothing could be further from the case. Motes are an indivisible unit, and, like all Essence, they interfere with the physical world only rarely. However, the effects engendered by the release of bound Essence motes from the Exaltation or sorcerous construct provides potential physical energy, which, when directed by the arms of Essence-channeling forms or constructs, flows through and enhances various physical processes.


The archetypal effect is the provision of regeneration through the form of the... {NEXT SEVERAL LINES ILLEGIBLE}... in this as in many other mechanisms, Essence follows the path of least resistance..."
