I've always liked the "green song" analogue for the magic of the Aldryami (originally from the Alvin Maker books, by O.S.Card)
Propably actually shaping essense into sorcerous spells is too "mostalish" for the elves. They have the ability to sense and manipulate the essense component of the Song of Aldrya, but I think it manifests more so that their "theists" and "animists" are able to use effect sorcerous essenses with their feats and spirits with no penalty.
