This pigment is normally white in color, but when an object dyed or painted with it is in the possession of a creature with an essence pool it can be invested with essence. For each point of essence invested, the pigment gains a single color and can display a simple pattern consisting of those colors and white in any combination. For example, 2 points of essence would allow for a basic striped pattern or spots. If used to color an object that is already an essence receptacle, treat essence invested in the receptacle as also being invested in this pigment.
While invested, changing the colors or pattern requires a move action, and removing all essence from the pigment returns it to its normal white color.
Essence reactive pigment can be used as a dye or made into paint. A single dose is enough to coat or dye a square foot of non-living material. Once applied, essence reactive pigment is permanent, although it can be washed off with alchemical solvent.
