They're just good, descriptive words, not necessarily proper names (that's why I like to capitalize class names, because there are so dang many of them that they start commandeering perfectly good phrases, so differentiating between them and the phrases they stole is important)Edit:  Ahhh, yes, I think combining multiple essence invocations may be a decent idea.  I would peg it at 2 levels of difference, though, because the shape invocations combined with a single essence invocation can already make for a pretty powerful area effect.  Add a second invocation, and it could get messy.  For example: A Vitriolic Utterdark Eldritch Cone would be NASTY, because it would ignore spell resistance and impose 2 negative levels on multiple enemies.  I actually think the spell resistance issue is a prime balancing factor for many of the essence invocations, and allowing Vitriolic to combine could be lethal.  Now, Vitriolic and Frightful (or any other Least essence invocation) Eldritch Cone would be not much better than a Vitriolic Cone alone, so I would not be afraid of it breaking anything.</blockquote>
