Essence Ranks and Power Levels
In Kodesh (The Holy Land) , every Gifter's strength is measured not only by skill or Library knowledge but also by the purity and flow of their Essence.
Essence is life. It is the measure of how much energy a soul can store, release, and control.
Just like how a flame burns brighter with more fuel, a Gifter's power shines stronger with higher Essence.
⚖️ How Essence Is Measured

The result reveals their Essence Rank, a letter that determines their potential.
