What are fel essences? To put simply, fel essences are things that you would not be able to find in nature in our universe. As explained on the front page, these essences are the last traces from an erased reality that have lingered since the great storm that destroyed the Yggdrasil tree at the beginning of creation.
Categories fel essences typically fall under are either contradictory, transformed, supernatural, or are a play-on-words. A majority of fel essences are contradictory, specifically taking a major or defining scientific or cultural component of an object and polarizing (making opposite of) that defining feature. Transformed essences are similar to contradictory essences in that some property of the object is altered, but not in a polarizing way. Other fel essences that are supernatural are often fel essences that are some feature of a mythical or divine creature that are altered from their natural states, or capture an intangible form, such as sound, emotion, or light. Other fel essences may simply be a play on words, that take a common phrase used in language that is turned literal. For an example of the different categories of fel essences, please refer to the lists below.
All fel essences are organic. Remember: these essences have been around since the creation of Lab 305’s earth, so human-made, mechanical, or artificial essences would not have existed back then.

[ .What to Include in Your Fel Essence Descriptions ]
There is a 100-word character limit when you submit a fel essence during an event. While these limits are not present for quest fel essences or essences the staff have written, we recommend you keep to the 100 character limit for if or when you decide to enter for events. When you write an essence description, please also refrain from mentioning Dr. Kyou finding or testing the essence-- this is considered godmodding on Kyou’s behalf!
There are two things that are essential in a fel essence description: one, an explanation of the object in its natural state, and two, an explanation of how that said object is altered and different from the norm now.
