    That is an interesting question and an intriguing way of separating it.

    Okay. So, essence is more of an ability that the people of the world have. So in my mind it’s not treated like supernatural or magic. It’s far from witchery and it is not seen as breaking the of the rules of nature. However, it actually touches upon racism because each race has a different essence ability. Some races are then looked down upon or raised up because of how good or how poor their essence ability is (or how desirable the ability is).

    That being said, there are blessings and curses. Which may need a more in-depth description, but the curses are not protagonist-related. Curses are evil and blessings are good, of course, and mirror the spiritual battle of the real world. This particular book doesn’t go into those very much. Curses are used in the final battle by the antagonist, and a blessing is used by the good king at the end of the battle, but neither are really explained.

    Does that sufficiently answer your question?
