Description
The Paranérgeia is a glowing azure energy that is used by creatures from Eden, a grand region from the Realm of Beyond. The surface of the glow is cold and reverberates with a power pulse beyond understanding. The energy is very hard to harness and control, and can cause multiple unnatural effects on the environment. However, it can be stored in blessed items for a long period of time. If placed in malicious or cursed items, the darkness will fade away and turn into a blessed item.

To humanity, it is widely confused with Ectoplasm, but the Paranérgeia differs from the Ectoplasm as the first mentioned is a multi-state energy that can be harnessed by supernatural creatures such as spiritual entities and witches or warlocks, while the latter is a sticky tar-like substance that is only secreted by active ghosts, and it doesn't belong to the Realm of Beyond. The Paranérgeia can be enhanced to higher levels if combined with Ambergris, a waxy substance secreted by the Astrocetus.

The Paranérgeia is fatal to humans on high doses, but evokes special qualities on other creatures that are considered to be something more. If humans get infected by Paranérgeia, the infected region takes a sickly grey colour. The Paranérgeia is also highly dangerous when analyzed or harnessed with technological instruments or placed in mechanical beings, as it causes extreme jolts of electricity that can destroy these instruments with swift ease. However, the Paranérgeia in its purest form is extremely lethal to any being that comes in contact with it, and only Anastasia Wynter managed to harness the pure energy without suffering the ill effects of it.
