Reinforcements don't drop essence, so you don't abuse them to grind stats

Know bugs:
loading a game in progress will result in all the essence that expired coming back, this is a graphical issue, they can't be picked up.
picking 2 or more essence at the same time will show the wrong stats for most of them. this is visual-only, the correct stat boost are applied
