I don't find essences a problem, because they are pretty abstract (at least the "nature" essences), and they have to be summoned (i.e. undines aren't just wandering around loose in the ocean). But are you saying that every pool on the tula that has a daimon also may have a spirit? Or is it more a matter of theistic geographical areas tend to be friendly to daimons and drive out spirits, animistic geographical areas do the reverse, and sorcerous areas drive out both?
