Game Mechanics of the Essential Cut
Available To: Carnage Zealot. Martial Study feat otherwise.
Discipline Skill: Autohypnosis (Wis) - The art of controlling your own mind is closely related to the art of controlling your soul.
Discipline Weapons: Any slashing weapon.
Saves: 10 + maneuver level + Constitution modifier.
Special: Some Essential Cut maneuvers allow you to spend essentia that you currently don't have invested in anything. Essentia spent in this way returns to your pool at the end of your next turn. You can't spend more essentia on a maneuver than you could normally invest in a soulmeld. Essential Cut stances can have essentia invested in them as well: invest essentia in a stance just like you would a soulmeld, although when you change stances all essentia invested in the previous stance is uninvested.
