Cosmic Energy

Overview
Quite the opposite to essence and magic is cosmic power. Cosmic power is the ability to directly influence reality by accessing the fundamental building blocks that make up the universe. If magic is the practice of exploiting anti-reality, and science is the process of exploiting reality's laws, then cosmic power is basically hacking reality's code. It can achieve much the same things as magic can, though if must only do so through breaking reality rather than bending it. Cosmic energy comes from the Murums which reinforce the rules of the universe, specifically from the thirteen intrinsic fields which are built into the Murums.

Cosmic energy which has a positive charge is known as Vorpal Energy. This power is often found with the Monitor, the Lords of Order, the Endless, and the Monitor's Scouts.

Cosmic energy with a negative charge is Cthonic Energy. This power is found in the Anti-Monitor and the Lords of Chaos, among others.

Cosmic energy without a moral charge is Intrinsic Energy. This power is found in Dr. Manhattan.

Though cosmic energy doesn't have "elements" it does take on different "flavors" or "colors" depending on which intrinsic field of the Murums the energy originated.

There are thirteen known colors of cosmic energy:
 * Green - plants
 * Red - animals
 * Black - death and decay
 * Clear/Blue - aquatic life and water
 * White - air and wind
 * Grey - fungus
 * Burn - fire and heat
 * Melt - earth, stone, and sand
 * Metal - metal, plastics, and technology
 * Divided - bacteria, viruses, microscopic life
 * Darkness - shadows, darkness, evil
 * Light - Speed Force, time
 * Odic - dreams, thought, mind, psionics

Trivia

 * Vorpal energy is known to smell like fresh strawberries and Cthonic energy is known to smell like rotting strawberries.
