Essenscion
By Derek Marcoux (yggdrasil@p7669.ici.net) for the Ferrymen.
Description
This rare Arcanoi is reserved for the Ferrymen (there have been instances where ordinary wraiths were taught it though). It allows the wraith to utilize the essence of corpora. There is a rumor floating (hehe) around the Shadowlands, that some wraiths are trying to create a guild of their own, called the Scions. If this is true, the hierarchy hasn't done anything... yet.
