AI summary
Makes effort pay off in escalating proportion: an hour a day of study yields moderate results that stick for days, while two hours daily for a week of practising kata embeds those movements for years, and the more you put in the more your related skills, talents and abilities grow. Other training enhancements such as perfect recall or accelerated learning compound with it exponentially rather than merely adding. It also makes breaking bad habits easy in whatever manner suits your personality — ejecting them outright or grinding them out through effort — lets you forget things you no longer want to know, and as a freebie ensures your gains never degrade, so reaching a peak means staying there and anything drained or stolen returns; that non-degradation can be extended to your health for biological immortality and to your memory for unlimited storage, options available at any time.

Description
Tastes like refreshing apple juice.
Effects
8The more effort you put into something the better results you get. Doing something lightly like studying 1 hour a day will give you moderate results with anything you memorize sticking with you for days to weeks longer than usual so even cramming for an hour before a test will give you good results!
Training or studying for more time will, as expected, give better results in increasing amounts. Two hours every day for a week practicing Martial Art katas will instill those movements into you for longer and to the point you can do those movements perfectly when injured, half asleep or any other kind of debilitating state.
As seen by this Essence the more effort that you put into something the more that the skills/talents/abilities you have related to it will grow in increasing amounts.
This will be augmented by other ‘training enhancements’ like perfect memory and recall or abilities that allow you to learn faster at a blistering rate. It will raise the results you gain exponentially to the point your training speed will stop making logical sense(at least to most worlds) and allow you to basically ‘intuit’ skills you don’t even know anything about however that’s only if you have the knowledge of how it should work or process for it.
This Essence also allows you to kick bad habits easier. How is up to your personality. Maybe you want instant gratification so you can just eject them from your being or you like effort so you’ll just have to fight the urges for a week or two.
You also can use this to forget things you don’t want to know anymore.
As a freebie this Essence makes it so your gains don’t degrade so if you make it to the peak you will never fall. If some over achiever SOMEHOW (WTF HOW?!) manages to drain/steal then they will return instantly but double in potency with skills granting you new knowledge even.
This can mean that your health doesn’t degrade so you’re biologically immortal if you want. You will gain unlimited memory storage should you choose this. This option is open anytime so if you suddenly want to be young again on your death bed you can regain your youth with just a thought and give it up later only to get it back if you change your mind.
