SPOILER - MotB - Recipies for Unique essences

Okku's essence and The Shape of Fire's essence are relatively easy to use and I found a recipe for Ujuk's essence. The Gamebanshee equipment list has a use for Nefris' essence. What are valid recipies for the Wood Man's essence and Myrkul's essence?

In all instances, Mold Spirit requires that the item to be enhanced have less than the maximum number of enchantments: non-epic characters can put 3 enchantments on an item, epic chars can put 4 on it.

Okku's Essence can be used on any belt to add the property of +10STR.
Ujuk's Essence and a bar of Adamantine can be molded together to form The Ring of the Uthraki.
The Shape of Fire's Essence can be used on any melee weapon to add fire damage to that weapon: 6d6 fire damage and 25% cold vulnerability.
The Woodman's Essence can be used to create The Ashenwood Staff. The information for the essence implies that the charred branch found in the burning grove can be enchanted with it, but that recipe apparently needs something else with it.
Nefris' Essence can be used to create The Ring of the Founder. An alternative to using Nefris' Essence would be to use a number of other essences (unknown list) to create The Ring of the Red Wizards
Myrkul's Essence is gained by either Devouring or Granting Eternal Rest in that meeting (a feat is gained by using Devour), but I can find no recipe for that essence. - oops - Myrkul's Wrath is a scythe created with that essence. Since Akachi's Scythe has the +10 enhancement and negative energy damage, it would appear to be the base item for MYRKUL's enhancement.

Also…

Mold Spirit can be used to mold Volatile and Brilliant Spirit essences, what is required to mold Pristine Spirit essences?
What other unique essences are available in the game?

(I'll add more information later and try to verify the recipes requirements as well; I'll add that information to THIS post, so check back again.)

Nice work dude. Was trying to find out what to do with Myrkul's essence. I also read somewhere that the Orglash Crystal can be used in another recipe. Any idea what recipe that is?

There's a FAQ at GameFAQs about this topic, and it looks pretty complete, except that it doesn't list what to do with Myrkul's Essence.

We have a scythe in the database called Myrkul's Wrath, and I'd guess it's the end result of using the essence. Maybe you use the essence with Akachi's Scythe to get it?

Maybe. Will try it out. Thanks for the link anyway.

…

Dang, duh, DANG.
I was out there and didn't notice THAT gem; went for the walkthrough for possible missing details and didn't look any further.

's on me, I guess.

Thanks for the reminder, Carter.

It doesn't say if Mold Spirit is sufficient for the Ashenwood Staff but every time that I try to use that on only the charred branch and The Woodman's Essence I get "invalid recipe".
