Polyesoteric Esotericists

Polyesotericism means using energies across categories. For example, one who uses both a shebvic and a poioumenonic energy. There are many examples of this, especially of those who start with unaligned energies. Some energies are antithetical and cannot be used together (mana and void energy), while others have limitations (Cacophony and Euphony can only be used together by someone who uses sonic aether). See below for a full chart of limitations.

Universal Esoterica

There are several energies that can be invoked that an combine with, control, or otherwise interact with every other kind of energy. Because all things have a True Name, a True Name can contain any or all energies. Furthermore, the nominal energies of blood energy, emotional resonance, soul energy, and psionic energy can all be tapped into to engage with any other kind of energy. Paradox, which by nature is capable of anything; ambrosia, which reflects Divine Will; shebv heya, which will alway revert to the status quo; draconic power, which absorbs all energies; spirit energy, which is an variation of ambrosia; the Law, which commands Divine Will; and poioumenon, which reflects the energies in a given narrative, all also have the potential to interact with every other kind of energy.

Nigh Universal Esoterica

Some esoteric energies can combine, control, or otherwise interact with almost all energies, usually with the exception of their antithetical energy. Aemoa, yahas, imperium, razdavit', mana, Genesis, sonic aether, ethereal essence, msawhat, radiance, flux, and kor.

Isolate Esoterica

A few energies resist any kind of mixing except with the universal esoterica. These are void, rending, hegnh, shavev mashkalran, temporal aether, and recursion.

Antithetical Esoterica

See antithetical esoterica.
