If they weren't as scarce as they are, maybe we could talk about it.
I have a metric crapton of pixie dusts, so I didn't have to think twice about crafting disposable items with it. Scrolls are meant to be relatively plentiful and very disposable. Essences are found once in a blue moon, so the only reason I would use them now to create an elemental scroll is to save/reload until I get a rare spell and then make it into a skillbook. And oh yeah, I need blank scrolls for blank skillbooks too.
