You try to draw essence from a creature, remains or other source already found to hold it. It takes 2 actions (2 AP in combat), and must be done while the essence is still stable (1d3 rounds). The DC depends on the source's quality or level and is usually higher than the DC to Analyze it. A source usually yields only 1 essence unless a rule, the creature's entry or the GM says otherwise. The full rules are in Crafting and Treasure.

Critical Success: You harvest 1 essence, and can also draw one more available essence from the same source if it has one.

Success: You harvest 1 essence.

Failure: You don't harvest it, but can try again if the source stays stable.

Critical Failure: The source is ruined and yields no essence.
