AI summary
Lets you detect how far anyone departs from baseline human genetics, so shapeshifters and mutants stand out to you, with your sensitivity sharpening as you identify more of them until eventually no difference of mind, body or soul escapes you. Once you have identified someone, you can tear down their disguise: call out a detected inhuman and everyone present will believe you completely and act on your word. As the Essence's greatest expression, given enough time and effort you can redefine what 'inhuman' means — deciding, for instance, that anyone who integrates metal into themselves has forfeited their humanity, and having reality treat it as so.

Description
"I am human". This is the lie that the inhuman tells itself to fit in, hiding from our disgust. By drinking this Essence, you may dispel that lie, gaining the following.
Effects
4The more one isn't genetically a normal human, the more you can detect this difference. From Shapeshifters, to the mutants roaming the streets, you can detect which among your kind doesn't fit in. You will also have a general idea of what exactly it is that is different about them. This also works with other species you have, if your wish is to betray humanity in such a way.
As you detect more and more of these scum, your abilities to detect them will simultaneously increase as well. Not even the slightest difference in mind, body, or soul can pass you with time, though it is a time consuming process to get to this point.
Once you have found this scum, you can tear their lies down. Call out a detected inhuman, and those around you will believe you entirely, following along with your words with their full intention.
As the greatest expression of this Essence, with enough time and effort, you may change the definition of Inhuman. Believe those who integrate themselves with metal to have given up their humanity? Then it shall be that they are inhuman for the purposes of this essence. Find those without a grand purpose to have wasted their humanity? You'll detect many more inhumans, but you'll have a much easier time finding those of importance.
