Description for Lucky: Essence Mode.

This is Lucky’s essence mode. An essence mode is when one concentrates their essence to such a degree, that it not only powers their essence up and makes it easier to use, but can physically change the user for a short time.

Essence modes are usually manifested in times of extreme stress, like when they’re near death, or in extreme rage. The only discovered mortal who can use an essence mode without these conditions is Jolstus.

Concept panel for the Mint Forest. An eerily quiet, misty forest, that harbors zero animal life, despite being big and full of plants.

The only creatures that live there are Kijolers, which are small bipedal creatures with impossibly long arms. They’re quite rare, but will easily rip you apart and drag your corpse back to their dens if you aren’t cautious. Resting here is risky, caves, trees, etc are easily reachable by the Kijolers.

Just don’t stick around to give them a high five and you’ll be fine.
