Energy Manipulation

Energy Control or Energy Manipulation is a broad term of the Ravenlight Universe and acts as a significant force & power. It is defined as the ability to harness, store, and physically-manifest the energy of elements of the universe itself. Some such elements include constructs such as Light and Dark, airs of mood such as Madness and Chaos, and the literal life energies such as spirit and properties of cosmic flow. It is sometimes referred to as magic by those who do not understand it; but those who are practitioners and preachers of the power often state that it is so much more than simple magic.   It differs from 'mana' or other internal and/or natural forms of energy that most beings use to cast spells. Despite it differing it can be used much in the same way to cast various other abilities, even combined with said sources. Energy can be gathered from many sources, transformed, stored, and used in a variety of different ways. Each type of energy also has its own slew of uses and effects.   Unlike examples such as 'mana' or spirit energy, Cosmic Energy forged through manipulation can become physical. It can be used to enhance the body, it can be used to create simple constructs such as tools or weapons, it can be used to affect reality to the slightest extent by the wielder's whim. Energy can be used as physical force, tangible, destructible. Weapons, armor, to enhance crops, to create physical blasts, to manipulate minds, to change the environment- these are but a few examples.   Some of the most prominent cultures based around this power are of Sillith (Sillithians), the Lightonians with Light Energy and the Dharkanians with Dark Energy.
