AI summary
Gives you a self-replenishing energy pool you pour into objects, living or inanimate, to upgrade them, focusing on a specific part, function or trait. The cost scales with the target's complexity, size and scale, the number of changes and what you are focusing on; a partially filled pool persists in the object so you can finish later, though it leaks slowly if left. Completed upgrades are permanent, drawing on the target's own matter and energy — which you can supplement with extra material to save energy — and you can upgrade yourself at steep cost, but never the Essence itself.

Effects
7You have a self-replenishing pool of special energy you can pour into items and spend it on upgrading targeted objects be it living or inanimate.
You can focus upgrades on specific parts of the object. Be it a physical piece, specific function or trait.
How much energy is spent depends on the complexity of the target, its size, scale and number of changes and on what function/traits/parts you focus the upgrade specifically on.
If you pour enough energy and changes start to take shape. If there is not enough energy, this imaginary pool in the object remains partly full and you can finish it later. But it will slowly lose energy over time, if you don’t keep pouring more soon.
Changes are permanent and complete, if you did pour enough energy into the targeted object-pool to actualize the upgrade. It will be empty and probably bigger next time.
All upgrades are made using matter and energy from the target. You can make things cheaper by adding stuff to use. So energy is not wasted on transmutation of things.
You can upgrade yourself at a steep cost, but not the Essence itself.
