Welcome to Gaia! ::

You definitely need a new name for the essence. Perhaps something more along the lines of Reversed Dream Catcher? It'll help people get what your essence is about right off the bat while in your description you can go into more detail, obviously explaining the fact that it is made naturally from a spider's web.

And I would highly recommend going for a different soul since a spider would be a bit cliche what with the whole web thing already. It really makes the whole concept sort of bland which is the opposite effect you are going for. Don't think so much about what would go well together, but what would look totally awesome together instead. The most interesting combinations are the ones that clash. Like Prajna or Vyn.

Also, don't get stuck on one idea for the time being. Be open to developing new ideas and working them until they're just right. You'll find the perfect combination for yourself in due time. Promise.

changed fel essence idea
will add probably 1 or 2 more soon

Okay first off, the catcher was just a name for it. It qualified for an essence because it was not man made but created naturally. Given it was created by a spider, but that's nature. I don't see webbing magically coming of its own without something spinning it first.

Second, there are so many Raevans and questers now that overlapping is going to occur. We already see it with the current Raevans, just look at all the bird souls and all the fire or ice related essences. The trick for newcomers is for them to make theirs different from what already is.

You obviously can't take the soul of an already existing Raevan, but you can have a soul that is similar. Honestly for how I see it with questing, after current taken Raevan souls, anything is fair game now. Let the best quester get to the coveted soul first. Reminder this is only my opinion and Kyou might have her own, so it's always best to ask her or another staff member if you have any major questions.

Fel Essences are harder, but there are similar ones already. A very good example is the Eternal Flames and Inverted Flame. Both are flames/fire essences, but do completely different things. You can't say she can't have a concept for a dream or nightmare essence merely because one Raevan once upon a time had one. The only person who can truly say that is Kyou.

Last I saw, there wasn't a rule about it, simply that others have wanted to respect the ideas of others by not treading on souls/essence ideas that were being used in already active quests. So frankly, I think she has the right to at least try and put her ideas down without them being shot down point blank like that hon. It isn't fair. Give her constructive crit and allow her the time to develop her ideas more.
