New Componant System!

As a new Smith I say wheeeeee!

So what lists have Collect Essence? Alchemist I'm sure, but is it found elsewhere?

Any instances of Gather Reagents in the current rulebook will be replaced with Collect Essence.  So yes, Alchemists, Assassins, Druids, Healers, Physicians, etc... will have the skill on their list in replacement of Gather Reagents.

Druidic Essences?

Yes there are, other than that F.O.I.G.

This brings up a few questions regarding sorcery.

*note* I assume that Gather Sorcery Components will follow the same rules as Gather Reagents.

1) Gather Sorcery Components is, as of now, useless.  Collect Essence is also useless for the time being (for sorcerers).  Do these skills swap now, or do Sorcerers with this skill get 3 build back?

2) Do Sorcerers keep dissect for the time being, since the component rules are unchanged for that list for the time being (and thus they need dissect to acquire a good majority of the only components left IG for sorcery)?

Sorcerers will keep Dissect for the time being, and will also be allowed to immediately switch Gather Sorcery Components, for Gather Essence. That way they can begin collecting essences for the future.
