Line 6:
If a sentient cosmic force is hostile, or even actively evil, then expect it to be a [[Crapsack World]]. Of course, it might be [[Blue and Orange Morality|too alien to fit any notions of morality]] that we can understand. [[The Dark Side]] exists when the will of a good or neutral cosmic force is corrupted, or as the [[Evil Counterpart]] to the good aspects as a [[Equivalent Exchange|necessary counterbalance]].
 
A [[Sub -Trope]] of [[Background Magic Field]]. May overlap with [[The Lifestream]] when it's created by life itself or when things become one with it after death.

* The Force from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' universe. It's an energy field, it gives powers. It has a [[Chosen One]] (and may have caused the virgin birth of said [[Chosen One]]). It has a will of its own, but nobody fully understands it (and it might be impossible to do so). The Jedi and their [[Evil Counterpart|evil counterparts]] the Sith, along with a variety of lesser groups from the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], each have their own belief systems about the true nature of the Force, but out-of-universe it's generally presumed that the Jedi are closest to the truth.
* Eywa in ''[[Avatar (Film)|Avatar]]'' is a [[Genius Loci]] physically comprising the neural network between the various flora and fauna on Pandora, and comprising the memories of various creatures, but is sentient and can cause [[GaiasGaia's Vengeance]] when required.
* While its motives are unclear, in ''[[Excalibur (Film)|Excalibur]]'' a Force-like... force... is referred to as "The Dragon".
 
Line 48:
* The Light from ''[[Kingdom Hearts]].'' Everything and everyone in the multiverse is made of Light. Everything of the Darkness is [[Beta Test Baddie|twisted, broken, unformed, and un-whole, and thus angry and hungry]]. The Light sends visions and Keyblades to certain [[Chosen One|Chosen Ones]] to prepare and equip them to save the world and redeem what was lost to Darkness.
* Apparently the Voodoo from ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'' is this, according to the Voodoo Lady. Of course, [[Hollywood Voodoo|real Voodoo has nothing to do with this]].
* [[The Lifestream]] of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', used as a fuel by the [[Mega Corp|Shinra Electric Power Company]]. In its solidified form it is [[Powers As Programs|the materia that allows the use of magic]], and is the combined spirit of all living things of the Planet, and when you piss it off enough it [[GaiasGaia's Vengeance|releases a whole bunch of monsters to get rid of whatever is annoying it]].
* It was recently revealed that ''[[City of Heroes|City of Heroes']]'' myterious "Well of the Furies" is actually a [[Sentient Cosmic Force]]. To date, its exact goals are poorly-eludicated, but seem to involve trying to take control of its [[The Chosen Many|Chosen Many]], the "Incarnates."
