Energy Types

Type	elemental lore

Most things are composed of one or more energies. Usually, one energy is in greater concentration, such as the life energy of living creatures, the negative energy of the undead, or the fire energy of fiery elementals. Spells are made up of various types of energy, like the arcane energy of a mage's Fireball, which has an Energy Composition of arcane, fire, and air - the latter to give the spell flight. Areas, worlds, and even entire systems can be a concentration for certain energy types. These areas are Focuses, places where the predominant energy is more potent than normal.
