Chaos Energy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In various fantasy games and other fiction as well as in occultism, the term Chaos Energy describes some sort of magical energy.

In some fictional universes, it can be found solidified in the form of stones. Examples include

• Chaos Emeralds, found in the Special Zone in the world of the Sonic the Hedgehog video games and comics,
• Warpstone (or “Wyrdstone”), a greenish-black crystal found in the Warhammer world,

and possibly others.

For some real-world esotericists, chaos energy is negative and destructive, so it opposes positive, life-supporting energy. It is supposed to be emitted by man-made objects (electromagnetic pollution would then be one example). For others, it just opposes Order without especially negative connotations. Most think of it as the energy generated by all conflicting forces such as life energy (the energy that sustains life) and death energy (the energy that cancels life out).
