<Snipped quote by Legend>

Why does the essence appear? Is it just a part of being a pseudo-Codex? Because if so, then it must have either come from the creation of the pseudo-Codex or Existence just naturally makes it happen, in either which case we can find a loophole.

It is not "real" when contained in pseudo-Codex. Rather, it becomes the expansion of the primary Codex Essence.
