Preservation Evokers have two resources, Essence and Mana. Nearlyevery spellwill cost some form of Mana, and you must manage your Manaso that it does not run out before the encounter is finished. Some spells also cost Essenceon top of their Mana cost. Essence regenerates over time and is capped at either5or 6, depending on if you take a talent to increase it. Three spells consumeEssence: Echo costs 2 Essence, Emerald Blossomcosts3 Essence, and Disintegrate costs 3 Essence. You must avoidwasting Essence by capping out unless you are saving that Essence for a specificmechanic that is about to occur.
