'''Bioessence''' is the culmination of centuries of research and striving by the now-defunct [[Cabalists (guild)|Cabal]] to seek a replacement - indeed, a natural conclusion to - the art of [[Necromancy (skill)|Necromancy]]. As a northern successor, Bioessence combines the [[Spinesreach|Spirean]] ideals of progress with a working knowledge of anatomy and biology. In addition to its scientific applications, wielders of the art employ it with a clinical ruthlessness to destroy their enemies, using a combined agent of shadow essence and elemental material known as the 'mutagen.'
