Re: Banestorm Navies
Incidentally as far as Essential Wood goes, in my Yrth, I would make that spell only known to elves and Sahudi. The Sahudi would know it because they have "wood/plant" as an element but the human and goblin styles of the south don't conceive of it that way and thus never discovered that spell.

Nope. It's quite definite that Essential Wood is not an Area Spell.
It also doesn't follow that one Regular Spell that allows selectivity does not backflow up the chain and establish a general principle. Rules flow downhill from the general rules of the Spell class to possible specific exceptions mentioned in the text of individual Spells. But beyond that, _why_ would anyone want to do this? The energy savings are quite small by any measure and it's especially no bargain when you compare the lost benefits of an all Essential construction.
