Essences aka The Greevil’s Spells
Once your Greevil’s ultimate has been determined there will be space for two more extra spells. These two spells are picked randomly depending on the essences your Greevil is made up of. Each colour of essence has two spells assigned specifically to it and any colour combiniations created will also add two extra spells to the potential spell pool (eg If the egg has 1x red essence + 1x blue essence then you’ll get 1x purple essence too).The level of the spell (which increases the spell’s stats) will be once again determined by the amount of that colour of essence used (1x Level 1, 2x Level 2, 3x Level 3 etc).
During an actual game the power/stats of these spells will also scale with your hero level, meaning a Greevilaguna Blade will do a lot more damage when the greevil is level 20 than when it’s level 2 for instance.
For example:
A level 3 Blue Greevil is made up of 3x Quas (blue) essences. The Greevil’s Ultimate would be Greevil Hole and his two spells would be Greevil Missile (Blue Spell) and Greevice Wall (Blue Spell).
When you introduce more essences into the pool then the range of spells grows by two per colour of essence.
So a level 3 Purple Greevil is made up of 3x Quas (blue) and 3x Exort (red) essences which would also provide 3x Purple essences too.
If those are the only essences used to make that Greevil then your Ultimate would be Greevil Nova and your two other spells would be two of the following: Greevil Missile (Blue Spell), Greevice Wall (Blue Spell), Greevil Rot (Red Spell), Degreevilfy (Red Spell), Greevildict (Purple Spell) or Greevil Hook (Purple Spell).
Note: Unusual essences provide no extra spells or stats, they are only for making your Greevil looking sexier.

Essences pt.2 aka The Greevil’s Stats
As well as dictating what spells your Greevil’s get, the essences also play an important part of making up your Greevil’s bonus stats.Once again these stats are based on what colour of essences were used in the creation of your Greevil and that actual amount you gain is also determined by the amount of that essence/level of the Greevil. A Greevil made in that specific colour of essence will also be given an extra bonus boost in the stat for that essence.
It’s worth noting that when creating your Greevil during the egg stage you’ve the potential to boost the stats by adding extra essences into the spare slot.
For example, you’re making a level 3 purple Greevil using 3x Quas (blue) and 3x Exort (red) essences, you could give your Greevil an extra boost by adding 2x Wex (yellow) essences into the egg as well, making sure to only add one below the maximum amount that you already have in the egg to ensure that you don’t change the egg colour.
