how I can remove the essence?

[Speaty]

I have some essence they say absent... it means already in use!

so, what demons are using those essence so I remove 'em and use it on other demons?
I don't understand this, why the game not showing me that?

can you help me understand essence in general

[Dizzy Ladybug]

you can't remove an essence. it says absent because you already used it and don't have it anymore

you need to collect the essence again to use it again. Demons can give you their essence if you level them up or you might be able to buy it again if you progress the story

why would you remove an absent essence? you can simply collect them again

the best part is, the game explains how they work. you can tell this guy just spams the skip key or C to close all popups.

You can use essences in two ways, either to pick skills from them and add them to your character or your demons repertories or to switch your main characters affinities.

Essences can be obtained in many ways, world drops, quest rewards or by farming them, all demons will yield their essence after you max out their full potential, meaning, once they yield all of their abilities through normal leveling,

So, if there's an essence that you want several "copies" of, you can simply fuse the demon from scratch, level it to its full potential, get the essence, delete him, fuse again from scratch rinse and repeat.

Some essences cannot be farmed, like Aogami essences, but you can go to the corpses that dropped them, and pick a new copy.

Essences are a one use only, once you use them, they are lost forever and the skills or affinities cannot be removed, you can only overlap them with newer essences.

thanks all...
so, I just 'catch' or 'fuse' the demon then level him 2 or 3 times

If you already have 1 resummon them and use grimoire after they got their last skill during fullmoon. If they don't give you an essence after 5 grimoires reload. If you still need the same essence release that demon because the chance that demon to give essence is lower, in my case, so you need to resummon again.
