What purpose is "Essence" and "Perception" when creating a character? What benifits do they have?

Essence - Natural magic resistence.
Perception - Rumor to be the ability to encounter monsters.

Benifits:
Essence - If someone hits you with a magic spell, your more immune to it.
Perception - Unknown

This is only what I know of.

Ah, I was wondering if there was magic resistance. Thanks.

I am not sure, but I gave my main character meximum perception, and now he hears better, like sounds of smithing at further distances, and hears speech on greater distances also. It would be neat though, if he could also see better in terms of seeing other players.
