Line 31:
* [[Hard Light]], when it's just "we [[Tim Taylor Technology|turned up the power so high]] that it became solid" as in ''Automan'', is a solid projection made of '''Pure Energy'''.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] are, by and large, simply conventional pistols that fire bullets made of '''Pure Energy''', rather than being lasers or something similarly hard to dodge.
* Objects made by a [[Green Lantern Ring|Green Lantern Power Ring]].
* [[Power Source]] to most advanced or magical machinery.
* Frequently a source of [[Non-Elemental]] damage.
* [[Ray Gun]]s use Pure Energy as projectiles.

* In the [[Discworld]] book ''[[Discworld/Sourcery|Sourcery]]'', a tower is built out of [[A Wizard Did It|pure magic]].

Line 61 ⟶ 62:
** Meanwhile, in third edition at least, magic missile spells are made of force, which is basically the same thing as 'pure energy'. Other force effects include the Bigby's line of spells, and a dragon that BREATHES force energy.
* Warp Energy in ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''. Technically it's ''psychic'' energy, composed of the thoughts and emotions of every sapient being, but in practice it is treated as this trope.
* The "Solid Energy Illusion" power from ''[[Villains and Vigilantes]]'' -- intended to allow the modeling of characters like [[Green Lantern]] and Pyro from ''[[X-Men]]'', it allows its possessor to create objects and effects from any single kind of energy (chosen at character creation).

Line 68 ⟶ 70:
* ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' has the [[Boss Battle|boss]] Atma/Ultima Weapon, which before the battle [[Badass Boast|boasts]] of being "pure energy, and [[Time Abyss|ancient as the cosmos]]." It is ''[[That One Boss|no]]'' [[Disc One Final Boss|pushover]].
** Which is why beating it by {{spoiler|draining all of its MP}} makes sense - without MP, it's as good as non-existent.
* ''In many ''[[Might and Magic]] VI'', powerful monsters like gold dragons and energy drakes hand out "energy" damage as distinct from fire, cold or electric, and so do "Ancient Weapons". One difference Energy has over other forms of Elements is that it is not trumped by any other type in [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]].
