Chaos Force

The Chaos Force is a living field of energy that permeates all of reality. It is closely linked to the Life Force of all living things, and because of this it is sometimes called the Source. The Source animates all life by flowing into the bodies of of organisms - where it is called Chaos energy - and in turn flows from all life forms back into the Chaos Force.

When a life form experiences negative emotions or commits negative actions, the Chaos Force flowing out of them is corrupted and becomes dark. The negative, corrupted side of the Chaos Force is often referred to as the miasma. In turn, positive emotions and actions purify the Chaos Force.

While the Chaos Force flows in small amounts into every living creature, certain objects have the ability to collect much larger amounts of Chaos energy. The Chaos Emeralds are an example of such collectors. Their ability to collect Chaos energy is controlled by the Master Emerald, which can nullify or increase their rate of absorption.
