Sacred energy

A sacred energy is, as defined by world theologists, any form of energy that was introduced into the Gaedera environment by a deity at any point in its history. Some of these energies are localised to a specific geographical area; others are global, but only accessible under specific circumstances.

Unlike electricity or light, sacred energies are not physical energy forms, although they can often behave as such. They can best be described as vectors of a deity's influence upon the planet. Many of them have a usage capacity, and can only bear the load of a certain number of queries per second. Shepherd deities can typically only serve a single query at any given moment.

Examples of sacred energy include:
 * Fortune (Laveda, patron of Aora and Cedan)
 * Cold (Elenit, patron of Orsand)
 * Semiosis (Beghul, patron of Bel)
 * Thread (Ihir, patron of Astra and Helfi)
 * Fire (Soreco, patron of Maba)
