This is a summary of litmus tests I've done on essential compounds with a view toward parsing out the Essence stats.
The litmus results are:
- Maroon -11 to -15
- Red -6 to -10
- Pink -1 to -5
- White 0
- LtBlue 1 to 5
- Blue 6 to 10
- Indigo 11 to 15
Deductions
For the purposes of deductions, Ar(Anaxi) refers to the Aromatic attribute of Anaxi Essence, and in the same vein As(X) Bi(X) Sa(X) So(X) Sp(X) Sp(X) Sw(X) To(X)
Here are the list of things we can prove or guess from the Essential Compounds we've seen:
Spiciness
- Compare 12,16: Sp(Anaxi) > Sp(Delta)
- Compare 11,12: Sp(Buckler) = Sp(CBasil)
- Compare 12,13: Sp(CBasil) = Sp(CRosemary)
- Compare 1,12: Sp(CBasil) > Sp(Broadleaf)
- Compare 10,12: Sp(CBasil) > Sp(Bluebottle)
- Compare 24,25: Sp(Bluebottle) = Sp(Broadleaf)
- So we have Sp(Anaxi) > Sp(Delta) > Sp(CBasil, Buckler, CRosemary) > Sp(Broadleaf,Bluebottle)
- From 1 we have Sp(Anaxi + Bluebottle + Buckler + CBasil + CRosemary) > 0. If Buckler, CBasil and Crosemary were <0, this would be impossible.
- From 24 we have Sp(Delta + Bluebottle + Buckler + CBasil + CRosemary) = 0. If Buckler etc. were >0, this would be impossible.
- Therefore, Sp(Buckler, CBasil, CRosemary) = 0
Sweetness
- Compare 1 and 2. Sw(Anaxi) < Sw(BrambleHedge)
- Compare 1 and 6,7,8,9. Sw(Bramblehedge) < {Sw(Bluebottle), Sw(Buckler), Sw(CommonBasil), Sw(CommonRosemary)} So Sw(Bramble) < 0 and Sw(Anaxi) < -1
- Compare 12 and 16. Sw(DeltaPalm) < Sw(Anaxi). So Sw(Delta) is -3, Sw(Anaxi) is -2, Sw(BrambleHedge) is -1.
- Compare 1, 10, 12, 13. Sw(Broadleaf) = Sw(Bluebottle) = Sw(CommonBasil) = Sw(CommonRosemary). So these are all 0.
- In order for 1 to be White, with three essences at 0, Sw(Anaxi) = -1 * Sw(BucklerLeaf), so Sw(BucklerLeaf) = +2
- Also, Buttlerleaf and Chakkanut are sweeter than Anaxi, so -1 or better
Essential Compound Tests
The Sweetness Tests
These are based on varying the (Anaxi - BBClover - Buckler Leaf - Common Basil - Common Rosemary) Essential compound, which has 0 Sweetness.
