The more powerful your body in terms of Mana capacity and output, the more magic you can use. The more spiritual you are or more connected to the universe you are, more Essence is available to you.

That is the Antroth take on things, since they developed their own unique form of magic.

The boundaries are still vague, though. Many forms of elemental enegry, for exemple, are part of the body (and the soul). Essence is not neccecarily connected to spirituality, though it definitely is to lifeforce, thus body AND soul.
