Re: Questions about Fluid Condensers

>>>An Alchemically crafted *essence* (this is a very specific product)
requires more than just distillation. Nonetheless, the Alchemical 
process isolates and purifies just those ingredients that serve as 
Fluidic condensers. The residue or "caput mortem" actually impedes 
the Fluids and their presence within a condenser decreases its 
capacity and its radiant power. It's like the difference between a 
cloudy quartz crystal and a perfectly clear diamond.<<

I was primarily using the term 'essence' to mean something 
alchemically prepaired. Though with a little bit of afterthought I 
realized that it's probably not the best term given that there are 
alchemical essences, tinictures and salts, I believe. Which in turn 
effect primarily one of the three bodies; physical, astral and 
mental, I believe. Which seems to be in slight contrast to the astral 
and mental fluid condenser's we talked about that would be made out 
of an astral or mental substance.

I also realize that there are more alchemical processes other than 
distilation, however, at the time was the only one of the seven 
primary alchemical processes that I could think of at the time. I'm 
also reasoning that these seven processes further get rid of those 
more 'grosser' substances that could impeed the ability of the fluid 
condenser to hold a charge?

Live well,
