Weapon Essence

When a weapon is broken its essence can be extracted from it. Materials and formula don't matter when extracting an essence but the weapon type and the quality grade do. A "Broken Flawless Iron Battleaxe of Fire" would, for example, yield a "Flawless Axe Essence". An essences can only be used as a special material when crafting a weapon of the same type. They give a bonus between 0 and their quality grade to the corresponding weapon skill.
