Spiritual fuel that runs the body and mind, generally invisible to ordinary folks (but not those with Aura Vision). Life Energy may be the same thing as the spirit, or rather just some sort of spiritual Life Meter. Even the hardest of television Science Fiction can't seem to help but use this trope at one point or another, even though modern science doesn't give it a leg to stand on. Relatedly, even the hardest-nosed Nietzscheans and Randians have been known to go on (the latter at length, of course) about the "life-force". In anime, is often the vampire alternative to drinking blood, but also is often used to explain why human blood is better for vampires than non-human or why they can't feed on the dead. It just sates their Horror Hunger better. Many anime antagonists, especially enemies of Magical Girls, are thaumovores: they feed on Life Energy or use it to power their evil plans. A clear sign that a character is a life-force sink is the spontaneous death of flowers around him or (usually) her. The victim of Life Energy theft may recover if only a little of it is taken, or else may end up in a coma that is unexplainable to mundane doctors. Other results include becoming older, becoming a walking Empty Shell, or outright dying as the body becomes a skeleton or even crumbles to ash. In the west, stealing Life Energy tends to be less common than giving Life Energy. Infusing someone with Life Energy (or sometimes Generic Energy) can be used to revive those who are critically injured, or to grant temporary superpowers, or even to create lifeforms. Watch out for Phlebotinum Overload, however. It's connected to souls, Hermetic Magic, Ki Manipulation, Psychic Powers and other superpowers; see also Mana. In Role-Playing Game terms, it's the combination of Hit Points, Magic Points, and Experience. Transferring it may cause physical changes that are Liquid Assets. Occasionally, part of an Equivalent Exchange to power an Artifact of Doom or Evil Weapon. It should be noted that somehow many spacecrafts' Everything Detectors can scan for it, and yet somehow only pick up humans or things like humans. Bugs, rats and the vast trees of Canada-in-the-Pegasus-Galaxy do not make the grade, so obviously life signs automatically imply sentience (or at least really-bigness). Anyone whose life energy is especially Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious is in for a hard time. See also Aura Vision and Anatomy of the Soul. If this is used to power a device, the thing powering it is a Living Battery; see also Powered by a Forsaken Child. Compare Soul Power, the ability to manipulate souls (and usually life energy with it). |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Dominating, killing and/or consuming an opponent to gain its power is a recurring literal and metaphorical symbol throughout the story. Besides Monster X and Ghidorah's Vampiric Draining, ancient Bone Singers believing that to claim a person's head means to claim their soul. Word of God also states that Ghidorah's severed pieces are reliant on an internal power reserve to remain animate, and this reserve can be fueled by absorbing energy from their surroundings, but it can otherwise run out and render the piece dormant. | |

The Heralds of Valdemar series uses a fairly well-developed magic system that is based almost entirely around this concept. All living beings generate Life Energy, which drains away from them into the ambient environment, eventually collecting into Ley Lines. Where two or more Ley Lines meet, you have a Node, which is a massively powerful energy source that only Adepts can hope to use without burning themselves out. The ultimate destination of this energy is the nether plane, from which it then reenters the world through living beings. Mages are people who have the innate capability to store additional magical energy within themselves, see this energy, and instinctively manipulate it. It's also possible to manipulate it without mage talent via rituals or Blood Magic. A person wholly drained of life energy, whether from Blood Magic or spellcasting beyond their capacity, will lapse into a coma and die. Accordingly, it can also be used to heal people, although this is most efficiently performed by those with the specific talent for it. | |

In Dragon Age this is the true source of magical power. Magic draws power from the Fade, the realm of dreams and thought, which draws energy from life. Magic can be fueled by blood or lyrium which turns out to be the blood of the Titans. | |

Bleach makes this what constitutes all souls, including nonliving things. Hollows can increase their amount of it by eating other souls, including (and especially) each other. Quincies can increase it by forcefully breaking down their surroundings and absorbing them. Soul Reapers have various ways to increase how much of it they have, but no special feature to speak of. (They can undergo training, release Bankai, etc.) However, unlike normal human souls, they must eat, and they release their spirit energy constantly. A notable point of interest is that Soul Reapers and Arrancarsnote Arrancars are hollows that evolved to have Soul Reaper powers. release their spirit energy through their wrists. An anime filler arc features vampire-like creatures called Bount, which drain the life force out of their victims (directly) as opposed to blood. | |

One of the Angel tie-in novels, The Longest Night has a story where a search for a missing boy leads to the boy’s father, who’s terminally ill, trying to steal Wesley’s life energy. There’s a part where the rest of the team find Wes looking old and wrinkled before they manage to reverse it. They do have pity on the father, and the life energy ends up briefly in the boy, letting his dad see him as a man before he dies. | |

Metroid: According to the instruction manual, the cyborg known as Samus has a space suit that can absorb the power of those "he" defeats to replenish his health and restore "his" ammo, which is why the Space Pirates fear "him." Later games clarify that Samus's suit does indeed absorb life energy from defeated foes (usually represented in game by floating purplish orbs). | |

Dark Souls, like its predecessor, Demons Souls, has its entire level-up system revolving around this. A new type of life energy called Humanity also plays a major part, and losing it eventually turns one into a Hollow (somewhere in between The Heartless and an Empty Shell). | |

In Odin Sphere, Phozons are the source of life in Erion. Fairies are composed of Phozons and when they die, the Phozons return to the land to be used anew. Psyphers, themselves made from crystals forged from masses of Phozons that have accumulated together, utilizing their powers by absorbing Phozons are actually destructive because of that. Armageddon becomes truly kicked off when King Valentine commands the Crystallization Cauldron to absorb every Phozon in Erion, which immediately starts causing the land to be struck by natural disasters and consumed by the rising ocean as the world begins to die. | |

Chakra in Naruto is a combination of a person's physical and spiritual energy. While it can be used to power jutsus and enhance the body, it is also required to keep the body functioning. If you use up enough that your body has less than the minimum needed for the body, you suffer from chakra exhaustion. If you use up absolutely all of it you die. Natural energy found in the world acts as a third component of chakra if a person is able to learn how to use it. It's present wherever there's life and greatly enhances the body, but drawing too much will overwhelm the user's own chakra and transform them into stone. Chiyo can also use life energy to heal, albeit with Equivalent Exchange involved. The first time, she transfers her life energy to heal a mortally wounded Sakura, saving Sakura but bringing herself to the brink of death. The second time, she brings Gaara back to life but dies in the process. In a twist, it was revealed that the Tailed Beasts are composed of the fragmented chakra of an Eldritch Abomination defeated centuries in the past. In an even bigger twist, all chakra has been revealed to originate from the Ten-Tailed Beast when it existed as the God-Tree. The Beast is attempting to reclaim its stolen power and will drain a shinobi completely dry of chakra in seconds. As noted above, losing all your chakra is fatal. |

In Fullmetal Alchemist, while alchemy largely draws on natural energy, such as plate tectonics, the greatest source of energy is the Philosopher's Stones which are in fact concentrated liquid souls. Ed soon realizes that if the souls of others can be used as energy, so can his own; since then he has shown the ability to transmute using his own soul to achieve normally impossible human transmutations. | |

Dragon Ball: Tenshinhan from Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z's signature technique, the Kikoho (Tri-Beam in the original dub, translates as Ki Control Cannon), uses his life energy, making it one of the most powerful techniques in the series even after Tenshinhan himself is left far behind in power compared to the non-human characters. Goku's ultimate technique, the Spirit Bomb, draws in small amounts of life energy from everything around it and unleashes it in a huge explosion. In this case it's too small an amount to actually be harmful to those giving the energy (and can also draw from non-living sources like stars), though apparently it's far more effective when sentient beings voluntarily offer up their energy. The Tree of Might from the Dragon Ball Z movie of the same name absorbed the life energy of everything on the planet. However, unlike Goku's Spirit Bomb, which generally requires a voluntary contribution of small amounts, the Tree of Might siphoned just about everything it needed for itself. |

Harry Potter: Dementors require (and enjoy) feeding off people's happiness, making them quite depressing to be around. (Aptly, considering they are based off of J.K. Rowling's period of clinical depression following the death of her mother.) The effect seemed to be amplified based on how much sadness you've experienced, so most people "just" feel horribly depressed, like they'll never be happy again, while people with more traumatic lives (like Harry) become nearly-catatonic with. they can give someone a "kiss" by sucking out their soul and leaving behind an Empty Shell. Also Tom Riddle was able to absorb Ginny's soul via his old diary with a little bit of his soul in it during Chamber of Secrets, causing him to regain physical form while she was reduced to a coma-like state. |

Shin Kamen Rider (2023) reimagines the original Rider as subsisting entirely on prana, the energy emitted by all living beings. Since this means most people need to be non-super in order to fuel the handful of supers, it ensures the superhero maker is disposable. While Augments like Kamen Rider and his enemies can absorb more prana from the air, it takes longer than the rate that they burn through prana during battle, so anyone who overuses their powers to the point of exhausting their stockpile of prana will die on the spot. | |

The Dresden Files: Living things have a magical essence that is necessary to sustain life, but can be fed on by White Court Vampires and some other things. As a result anyone with magical talent also tends to be a tastier snack for such predators. It also allows Wizard (or presumably anyone with sufficient magical talent) can tap into to power a 'Death Curse', an incredibly powerful spell cast at the cost of one's life, effectively used as a Dead Man's Switch to discourage trying to kill the Wizard in the first place. Also, in a later book, there is Soulfire. It allows the user to supercharge the magic by infusing it with a little piece of their soul. Harry is understandably concerned about the concept of burning up their soul, but is assured that it's okay since souls regenerate over time, and can even be recovered faster via activities that are "good for the soul." In Ghost Story, we find that ghosts can only attack or defend by using their memories — and all a ghost is, is memories, so... |

SCP Foundation SCP-1716 ("Imperfect Life Extender") is a device that transfers life force from one person to another. The process is inefficient, with the recipient gaining one tenth of the lifespan lost by the donor. SCP-1807 ("Home Sweet Okapi"). Anyone who touches SCP-1807 will disappear as their life force is drained from them. The life force is stolen to act as an energy source for a civilization living in another dimension. |

Magic in The Broken Earth Trilogy works like this, and thus can be used for things like healing or killing someone by draining it. However, it can be also found in anything that once was alive, however long ago, such as rock like limestone that originated as living organisms. It's also in the Earth, which is actually alive and sentient. | |

Gets mentioned in Discworld occasionally. In Reaper Man, Death Takes a Holiday, meaning the excess life energy is piling up and things don't die properly. Cue compost piles coming to life and the dead rising up and being very cranky. One or two characters muse that the passing of the seasons is sort of the planet's "heartbeat", causing life energy to flow in and out of the ecosystem. | |

Mantra from Asura's Wrath is this. Along with powering up technology and the demi-gods genetically modified to use it, it also can be used in weaponry. It was initially sourced from human prayer, but it turns out human souls are much more convenient and potent, if you don't care about the corpses. Also played around with, in that it's actually the creation of Chakravartin, the source of all mantra. Though after he dies, people still live, but Mantra is no longer around, meaning the technology powered by Mantra is lost forever. | |

At the end of the second season of Space Battleship Yamato, Trelaina resurrects Mark Venture by transferring her life force to him, through tubes like a blood transfusion of glowing energy. It's implied this will kill her, and it's her last act before she sacrifices her life to save the Earth from Prince Zordar. | |

The Night Watch (Series) of novels has the "Others", a group of superpowered and supernatural humans forced to choose between good and evil when they first gain knowledge of their gift, can get energy from taking the emotions of normal humans and store it for later use. Some are actual vampires, and do need blood in addition to any life energy they get, albeit not necessarily human blood. The good Others take happiness and joy, leaving those they take power from depressed and likely to kill themselves, while the evil Others take fear and depression away, leaving their victims happier and feeling more capable of dealing with problems. However, when it's not a simple one-time feeding, they establish a cycle where the Others create the emotions they feed off in their actions. A famous Pioneer Camp is used as a rest resort — the Light feed during the days while helping the kids have fun, while the dark ones feed on the same kids' fears at night. | |

In Sime Gen, the human race has become divided into Gens who produce large amounts of life energy (called "selyn"), and Simes who don't produce it and must take it from Gens. Unfortunately, the process of taking it is almost always fatal to the Gen. The plot of the series revolves around "channels" — Simes who can take selyn from Gens without hurting them in the process and pass it on to other Simes. Unfortunately, by the time the first channel is discovered Simes have been killing Gens en masse for centuries and therefore there is a lot of Fantastic Racism on both sides to be overcome before the two kinds of people can finally live in peace with each other. | |

In Warbreaker, Life Energy is measured in "Breaths", which can be removed from a soul with consent of that soul (Everyone starts with one Breath). Once accumulated, these Breaths enhance you in specific ways, allowing you to discern colors and musical tones with higher fidelity, "sense" other lives around you, and become functionally immortal. Furthermore, these Breaths can be placed in an inanimate object, animating them to follow a specific Command. However, the sheer number of Breaths required to achieve these powers (200 to achieve perfect musical tone recognition, all the way up to 2000 Breaths to become immortal), and the state of those left without Breath, make the practice of accumulating Breath highly controversial in some cultures. The book mostly takes place in an area where there's no taboo related to trading breath, although it is very valuable. | |

The plot of Prétear pretty much revolves around Life Energy (Leafe). In the manga version, this gets downright cruel: the Knights can only use their Elemental Powers at the expense of their own Leafe; as a result, whenever Himeno is performing attacks as the Pretear, she drains the Life Energy from whichever Knight she is currently merged with. The Pretear can also create Leafe, though. Needless to say, the monsters and the Big Bad of the series really like stealing Leafe... | |

Dungeons & Dragons The game has many creatures that can drain life energy levels, such as many undead, succubus demons and so on. Class Levels being certainly the most hardly-earned feature of a PC, such creatures are greatly feared — especially in 1st and 2nd edition, where such drains were permanent with no saving throw. Later editions have somewhat nerfed this power, to the regret of any serious GM. Spelljammer also included lifejammers — a spelljamming helm was a chair which allowed one to pilot a vessel into space by draining spell energy; a lifejamming helm ... well, you can figure it out from there. Lifejammers were particularly popular among evil beings such as neogi and undead, who were fond of subjecting their slaves and captives to this. Lifejammers could be used by volunteers, since they only drain 1d8 hit points per day... a high level party could easily take this in turns and heal back up in between. Unfortunately, there's also the daily DC 13 save or die; no matter what bonuses you have, someone's eventually going to roll a 1, and that's going to be bad. The manual points out that some Lifejammer captains prefer tough creatures with lots of HP, while others go the "endless supply of expendables" route. In a number of D&D cosmologies living creatures ultimately basically "ran" on "positive energy" (as opposed to the "negative energy" powering undead), which might even have its own plane of existence dedicated to it. Healing spells basically channeled an extra dose of just that energy into the recipient to help patch them up, and positive and negative energies cancelling each other out when they met explained why Revive Kills Zombie. In several editions, too much life energy was a bad thing — the Plane of Positive Energy would heal you, since, well, it's the plane of life energy. Then, once you're fully healed, it'd keep on infusing life energy right up to the point where you go from 'have lots more (temporary) hit points than usually' to exploding. Dungeon magazine #41 adventure " A Way with Words". Vampire moss drains the life energy (Hit Points) of creatures within ten yards of it. |

The Legend of Zelda: Link's HP is commonly referred to as "life energy." Whether or not this is a link to a spiritual force really hasn't been said, except if you maybe count The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. In The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, the Light Force was directly tied to Princess Zelda's Life Energy. Draining away the Light Force from her body will kill her, which leads to a timed section near the end of the game. If you fail the timed section, Vaati succeeds in draining all of the Light Force from her. |

In Demon's Souls, the level-up system, magic, and demons all make use of this. Leveling up is performed by taking the souls of fallen enemies and bringing them to the Maiden in Black, who feeds them into your own, making it stronger. Arcane magic is fueled by this, which is partly why magic is considered a dark thing at best. Demons and most of the whole conflict revolve around demons taking this from humans. | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Kiva features Fangires, a stained glass-based vampire race that materializes crystal fangs in midair, sticks them into their human targets' neck, and drains the life energy out of their bodies for food, leaving the victim as a glass corpse that can be shattered with a single touch. (The words Life Energy are always in English for some reason.) Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has the Riders run on bio-energy measured by the Rider Gauge, a Life Meter on their chestplate which drains as they take damage. Normally the suit automatically deactivates if the gauge is about to run empty so that the wearer won't be killed by their own powers, but two villains have methods to bypass this protection, requiring the Rider to manually eject if they're about to run dry. Shin Kamen Rider (2023) reimagines the original Rider as subsisting entirely on prana, the energy emitted by all living beings. Since this means most people need to be non-super in order to fuel the handful of supers, it ensures the superhero maker is disposable. While Augments like Kamen Rider and his enemies can absorb more prana from the air, it takes longer than the rate that they burn through prana during battle, so anyone who overuses their powers to the point of exhausting their stockpile of prana will die on the spot. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 represents life energy as fire, which both the Kevesi and Agnian armies seek to take from the other by slaying them in battle with their Blades in order to fuel their side's ever-diminishing Flame Clocks. It doesn't take long at all for the party to discover that the Flame Clocks of both armies are constantly draining because they're being fed on by a third faction called Moebius, who've orchestrated the entire war to farm humans for their energy and sustain their immortality. It takes them somewhat longer to find out that this is because Life Energy is the only energy source powerful enough to stave off the antimatter annihilation event that's underway from the two universes colliding. | |

A slight variant is used by humans to perform magic in The Dragon Prince. Humans are the sole sapient species that do not have a natural, inborn connection to one of the various sources of magical power. Thus, humans can only use magic by using rare and valuable artifacts known as primal stones, which gives them an artificial connection to one of those sources... or by performing dark magic, which involves taking the magic energy out of a magical being and then using that energy to cast spells. Technically it's the magic energy rather than life energy that is being used (and thus pieces of long dead magical creatures which still have the magical energy imbued within can be kept as spell ingredients or a source of energy to be used), but since removing the magical energy from a magic being kills it, creatures such as elves and dragons do not approve of dark magic at all. | |

Bokurano: The giant robot is powered by the Life Energy of the pilot. Win or lose, the pilot dies after the battle — it just isn't followed by the the entire universe dying in case of a win. The manga even hints that the younger the person, the more life energy he/she has, and the more powerful Zearth becomes. |

In Wakfu, the Life Energy is called... wakfu. It is the power source of all magic, and present in every living being, plants like animals. Nox, the Big Bad of the first season, aims at draining as much wakfu as possible, so he can then feed it to the Eliacube, an Amplifier Artifact that can boost his powers beyond those of any time-magic user before, or even beyond those of his god, Xelor, in order to complete the Beyond the Impossible mission of forcibly turning back time 200 years to save his family from death and prevent his own villainy in the process. In Season 2 Qilby wanted to drain the wakfu of the entire planet to fuel the space ship and go to another planet. With Nightmare Fuel setting in when you remember his story of them traveling from planet to planet gathering enough wakfu to get to the next planet. |

In The Elder Scrolls series, "the energy of living things" falls within the sphere of the Daedric Prince Meridia, who is also associated with Light and Beauty. As a result, she has an extreme hatred for anything undead, as well as any other entities of cruelty, darkness, rot, filth, or decay. Thus, she will stop at nothing to destroy them, even if it means causing collateral damage to innocent people or her own followers, bordering on being a Well-Intentioned Extremist. | |

Legends of the Dead Earth: In The Flash annual #9, Tristan Mallory imprisoned his brother Bryan in a special chamber for 300 years after he received his speed. The chamber siphons off Bryan's life energy in order to make the once frozen planet lush and green and to keep Tristan alive indefinitely. As the process is unstable, Tristan gathers his people together for Green Day once every 20 years and uses Bryan to siphon off their energy in the same manner. After Tristan's follower Deborah releases Bryan from his confinement, Tristan is forced to drain the people's energy to the point that most of them become elderly and decrepit within hours. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The series takes a new angle on this with Sendo, a Supernatural Martial Art that involves a special breathing technique which allows its user to amplify his or her own life energy. This "Hamon energy" can be moved throughout the body to cure ailments or heal wounds, or it can be directed out of the body to manipulate one's surroundings and hurt undead creatures. This power serves as the main weapon of the protagonists during the first two story arcs, but is phased out during the third to be replaced with a new power called a Stand. In the 5th part, Giorno Giovanna has the Stand "Gold Experience"note called "Golden Wind" in official English translations due to copyright issues , whose abilities primarily revolve around giving life energy. With it, he can turn inanimate objects into living creatures, and if used on other people, it supercharges them with life energy, causing their senses to be overwhelmed, making pain last longer. |

The space miner Nerim has devised a method for producing it from raw minerals, with some unfortunate collateral damage to the planets he mines them from.

Later on though, it became the basis for all forms of attack and even has seven differently colored types with various powers and appearances, and is accessed through your personal resolution.

Essence in Shadowrun is kind of this: Put simply, it's how 'in tune' your personal magical field is with your corporeal body. People can lose Essence by getting their auras disturbed (being attacked by The Undead or becoming burn-out addicts to a narcotic for example) or by replacing too much of their body with cybernetics. Essence Loss is very bad for mages since it limits their ability to do magic, and too much Essence loss causes emotional problems, dissociative mental issues and eventually death. Notably, The Undead in Shadowrun explicitly feed on Essence. The part where a vampire drinks your blood is because the blood drain makes a connection that allows them to drain Essence, which means Shadowrun vampires can't raid blood banks or drink from animals for nourishment.' |

In the Dragon Jousters series, the Magi are deliberately encouraging the war between Tian and Altan to continue, as they're using the deaths of the fighting soldiers to extend the lifespans of themselves and the Altan rulers. They also start seeking out those priests/acolytes that are 'god-touched' and Healers-by-touch in order to drain them for power to fuel their spells. After enough draining, the victims either die or end up stripped of their powers. | |

Doctor Who: The Fendahl consumed the full spectrum of Life Energy, causing rapid decay of the corpses it left. "The Lazarus Experiment": The mutated Professor Lazarus sustains himself by draining his victims of their life energy. "Silence in the Library" subverts the usual rule about the Everything Sensor in regards to life forms: once the Doctor specifies that he's not interested only in humanoid life signs, the Library sensors report on every one of the billions of Vashda Narada spores. When the Master comes back wrong in "The End of Time", the Doctor tries to warn him that his awesome new powers are consuming his Life Energy. |

The Locked Tomb breaks down the practice of necromancy into the manipulation of thanergy (i.e., the energy created by death and entropy) and thalergy, which is this. At one point, a necromancer who's just about had it and sees no other way of ending a problem detonates all the thalergy in their body at once. The effect is compared to a very localized supernova. | |

Spelljammer also included lifejammers — a spelljamming helm was a chair which allowed one to pilot a vessel into space by draining spell energy; a lifejamming helm ... well, you can figure it out from there. Lifejammers were particularly popular among evil beings such as neogi and undead, who were fond of subjecting their slaves and captives to this. Lifejammers could be used by volunteers, since they only drain 1d8 hit points per day... a high level party could easily take this in turns and heal back up in between. Unfortunately, there's also the daily DC 13 save or die; no matter what bonuses you have, someone's eventually going to roll a 1, and that's going to be bad. The manual points out that some Lifejammer captains prefer tough creatures with lots of HP, while others go the "endless supply of expendables" route. | |

Tracker (2001) used this heavily. Each fugitive was in the form of a life force that took over a human body and killed the original occupant.

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, it is revealed that the Toads' life energy is called vim. Without it, the Toads would wither away, and eventually die. Unsurprisingly, the villains capture a ton of Toads to suck out their vim and use it to power their ships. The poor victims are insanely close to death by the time you come across them. Fortunately, seeing how one of said victims is seen alive and well during the ending, it shows that they are revived in the end. | |

Inheritance Cycle: Magic uses the casters life energy, and requires roughly the same amount of it would take to do it without magic, often resulting in mages being very tired, hungry, and thirsty after large acts of magic. The energy can even be stored in gemstones to be pulled out to either cast bigger spells or simply get a boost of energy. However due to the Exact Words nature of the Language of Magic it's possible to kill yourself by trying to do something that takes too much energy. Eragon eventually learns a technique for pulling energy from surrounding life, generally killing it in the process, but avoids doing so, as it requires experiencing the death of whatever you're taking energy from, which tends to be pretty overwhelming. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, the Light Force was directly tied to Princess Zelda's Life Energy. Draining away the Light Force from her body will kill her, which leads to a timed section near the end of the game. If you fail the timed section, Vaati succeeds in draining all of the Light Force from her. | |

In Dead Silver, shamans, like Hawke, are in tune with the life energy around them. This allows them to speak with animals and sense living things. They can also imbue objects with their own life energy, which can then seriously harm undead. | |

The Wraith in Stargate Atlantis are essentially Life Energy Vampires. There are, however, some Technobabble attempts to explain it as hard science, essentially implying the exact process is badly understood, and that speaking of "Life Force" is a handy though incorrect shortcut. The overall effect of Wraith "feeding", which is done through a special organ in their palm, is similar to Rapid Aging. They can also give back some of the stolen Life Energy, rejuvenating the subject or even bringing him back to life. | |

Goes by the name "Power of Existence", or just "Existence", in Shakugan no Shana. Losing any amount of it turns a human into a Torch at best, doomed to eventually have never existed. | |

In World Trigger, all living beings are able to produce a special form of energy referred to as "Trion" from an invisible gland that serves as "a person’s second heart". Trion is like an alien blood that serves as both hit points for combat avatars (called Trion bodies) and fuel for the weapons deployed by them. If Trion count drops to zero by either sustaining too much damage, using up too much Trion for attacks, or a combination of both, then the Trion body will crumble and self-destruct. | |

The Good Hunter: It is established in the MGE 'verse that all creatures have mana, some a little, some a lot. If there were a being without mana, said being shouldn't even be alive. Furthermore, mana can be manipulated by others into spell-craft (aka magic). Since monsters are generally better at doing this than humans, it is very clear that the former faction has the upper hand. At the same time, Cyril Sutherland is a, if not the only, living being that has no mana at all, and thus his existence is considered to be an anomaly to both factions alike. | |

Metroid: Metroid: According to the instruction manual, the cyborg known as Samus has a space suit that can absorb the power of those "he" defeats to replenish his health and restore "his" ammo, which is why the Space Pirates fear "him." Later games clarify that Samus's suit does indeed absorb life energy from defeated foes (usually represented in game by floating purplish orbs). Metroids drain the life energy from any creatures unfortunate enough to encounter them. The Space Pirates tried to use science to explain the phenomenon, but could find absolutely no trace of this "life energy" (it isn't blood or any other vital liquid), only the proof that something vital was obviously being drained. |

Both Fallen London and Sunless Sea seem to have this in some manner, even if it's never referred to as anything other than just life. Within the Neath itself it can actually be moved from place to place, and larger amounts make it harder for someone to die, which is part of why Death is Cheap in the Neath. Certain kinds of special diamond-like gem seem to irradiate it intensely, too. The real reason everything in Polythreme is alive and sentient is because the King with a Hundred Hearts was given one in place of his real heart, and the sheer amounts of vitality just spilled all over the surrounding area. And the biggest of them all is the heard of the Mountain of Light, also known as the goddess Stone, which is why the Elder Continent is the way it is, with really vicious and powerful wildlife, plants that grow everywhere in a matter of minutes and immortal people that can be turned to smears on the ground and come back the next day perfectly fine. | |

Babylon 5 has Captain Sheridan die but then get resurrected with an infusion of life energy. He was told, however, that regardless of medical procedures, his body would just "stop" after a period of time. Another plot involved an alien artifact that transferred life energy (it was used for capital punishment and occasionally for medical purposes too). | |

The premise of YuYu Hakusho implies that life energy is essentially the same as spirit energy but is the necessary portion reserved to keep the body running. It seems to be a fair amount, to the point that a person drained of spirit energy can still throw a large enough energy attack to win a battle, provided that they're okay with being dead afterwards. All but one of the four major characters are guilty of this at one point or another, and the main character employs it as a reliable backup strategy. Seeing that he's half-demon and can pretty much reincarnate at will, this tactic is pretty cheap. | |

In Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, the Queen uses Life Energy to create psychocrystals, which power Slaverlords, wraith-like beings she can see, hear, and speak through. Humans Are Special in a BAD way in this universe, as they are the best species she's found to power the things. Fortunately, she only was able to make two human crystals in the entire course of the series, and only able to hold onto one. Unfortunately, that one crystal happens to be made from Zach's wife. | |

This is, to all intents and purposes, the source of Captain Atom's power; he's plugged into the quantum field, the life energy of the universe, allowing him to manipulate all forms of energy. (This is why Nathaniel ended up fighting Nekron in Blackest Night — because he's integrated with the quantum field, Nekron could use him to drag the quantum field into his realm, and every living creature in the universe with it.) | |
