Once you get all those Fire and Ice and Water essences, what can you do with them?
This mod offers options, starting mid-game.
Included with everything else is two recipes for a filled water bucket, one for each type of bucket, using Essence of Water.
A pot linked with the endless ocean, capable of making water constantly without the need to refill. An eternal water bucket, essentially.
Two new fuels are included as well - one mid-game, one end-game. Both require Essence of Fire and other choice materials. The first, the Laminated Charcoal, burns for 20s each - longer than any other fuel and more than twice as long as a wooden log. The second, called Volcanic Fuel, burns for a whopping 6 minutes, but has a cost that's comparable.
Need more of one of the colored crystals but you've already hunted down every space in the jungle to get them? Now there are Crystal Bush plants, capable of being grown from essences, and harvested for crystal shards of nearly every color.
Need more essences fast but you don't want to go hunting? Craft a cocoon with Skarak Eggs and some crystals, and a Spirit can be hatched from it, which will drop essences upon death.
A new crafting table, cousin to the Salvager's Workbench. Unneeded items can be deposited into the Distillery, and it will output the base elements that item is made from: Lightning, Ice, Water, Fire, Life, or Void. Items with no elemental affiliation can still be distilled, but instead result in Elemental Sludge, useful for crafting fertilizer, or the creation of charms (or throwing).
The Charmsmith's Workbench allows you to turn some basic materials into Charm Lattices. The Lattices then used to craft charms, using crystals and Essences. The charms are simple magic items - they only target you, and give you a quick boost or temporary buff, based on the elemental essence imbued in them. The charms are broken as you use them, so they're only usable once, and have a limit to how quickly they can be used.
A workbench that allows you to spend time and Essence of Life to fully repair your tools, weapons, and armor pieces to full, unaltered durability.
