-Energism is the practice of directing and projecting one's consciousness in both the spiritual and material worlds.  A person who practices this is called an [[energist]]. While the most powerful energists are in the minority, unlike arcane ability, it is believed than any human and most [[humanlike]]s can attain some ability at energism with study and devotion.  It is thought that natural energists among humans are statistically more common than among the humanlike races. The words 'psychic' and 'mentalist' are sometimes used interchangeably with the word energist.  The term 'psychic' tends to imply that the energist is also [[Incarnandist]].

-Energism differs from arcane magic in that energism draws energy directly from the practitioner while arcane spellcraft manipulates the power of unseen, ambient magical energy, called [[pan]].  Scholars believe that at some level there is an inherent universality common to both energism and arcanism, but disagree about the nature and practical articulation of it.
-Energists are not inherently tied to any religion or belief. Howevever, few energists, in practice, are chaos cultists, and it is widely thought that the self-discipline inherent to energism is incompatible with the cosmic powers of [[Chaos]].
