Cowboys are the Bosses in this zone. They are like Augmented Trajkov + Augmented Goettsch + Every Other Shaper in the history of Shaping. Combined.
My bad. I just saw something about "Dallas" and "Cowboy" and busted out my dueling pistols. Nice poetry.
If you have a low level creation that has a lot of essence, absorb it, cast an area spell like Essence Shield or as Randomizer said, Augmentation (I think those are ones). Use an essence pod, and reshape the creation.
