Using this essence adds the modifier Bears the Mark of the Abyssal Lord, which can either be a prefix ("Abyssal") or a suffix ("of the Abyss"). The weighting appears to be equal regardless of whether a prefix or suffix was removed, unless if a prefix or suffix is blocked from being added by this essence. This modifier is considered mutually exclusive with a desecrated modifier; it is not possible to add this affix to an item that already has a desecrated modifier.
When using a preserved bone to Desecrate the item, it will always attempt to remove this modifier first, replacing it with an unrevealed Desecrated modifier "of a higher tier". The specific effect is currently unknown, though it currently appears to cull affix options below a certain level (current testing suggests all modifiers below Level 30)[1]. Note that this is different from minimum modifier level found on "Ancient" tier preserved bones in that no modifiers below Level 30 are eligible. It does not appear to bias modifiers towards higher tier modifiers, nor does it appear to be influenced by the modifier that was replaced.
If the Mark of the Abyssal Lord modifier is fractured, another modifier will be replaced instead when using a preserved bone.[2]
