Through a combination of rigorous training and innate talent, many individuals throughout Eora are able to open their senses to the essence that permeates all things. To manipuate this essence, however, requires a level of dedication above and beyond what most are willing or able to achieve. Garments like these are prized among arcane practitioners for the essence woven in among their fibers to bolster the wearer's own reserves.
