The vast majority of Energy-Workers use only a single kind of energy. This is because they are unaware that other energies exist.
The most common energy used is Ambient (also called Psi). This form of energy is very light and fluffy, is extremely abundant everywhere in the world, as it exists in nature and around humans.
While there is nothing particularly wrong with sticking with Ambient, it also means that as the vast majority of other practitioners also use it, the only 'edge' you might have over them is skill. And eventually you reach a limit of skill, and can go no further.
On the other hand, some types of energy are denser and give greater raw potency to the wielder than Ambient energy does. So someone with average skill and high potency can devastate someone with high skill in Ambient energy. This is because Ambient is one of the weakest forms of potency in energies.
As I said, there are many types of workable energy.
The types of energy that I've personally worked with are: Ambient (Psi), Core, Chi, Elemental, Kundalini, Soul, Veil, and Void.
*Core Energy
This is a denser energy that the human body produces. It is generated in the human body from just behind the navel. When you access Core from someone, it usually feels like a thick, heavy oil that comes to you in waves. It can take a few weeks to adjust to using it, as it can cause strong vertigo as it seems to just sit in your energy body and slosh around until you adapt to it. Expect to feel queasy while adapting to it.
Those that have ever been fed on by a pranic vampire (succubi) tend to feel highly sexual as the vampire is pulling on the person's Core energy, which tends to be tied into sexual physicality. The reason pranic vampires feed on core, is that it's a strong life energy. Also many people associate the term demonic with Core energy, as it's popular with those that like the heaviness of the potency to wield as a weapon.
The benefit of using Core energy is that it is denser than Ambient, and this makes defenses and attacks stronger than their counterparts based on Ambient energy.
There are those that produce Core energy in abundance. These folk are called a Phoenix in the communities. They tend to be very powerful, as they generate tremendous amounts of energy, and they are also excellent as donors for vampires.
*Chi/Ki Energy
This energy feels much denser than Core energy, and is extremely compacted. It is what some master martial artists are capable of generating and channeling through their bodies. It should be stressed that to wield Chi, your body will hurt like hell if you haven't strengthened it with some kind of martial arts, and it takes a very long time to adapt to it.
Here are some of the potentials for Chi:
*Kundalini
This type of energy is closely tied into the chakra system. It was defined in asia over thousands of years, and is seen as a step in ascendance and transcendence into the spiritual.
The energy itself begins at the base chakra of the body and slowly, over the course of time (months or years) moves upwards through your chakras till it reaches the crown chakra.
As it reaches each chakra, the person experiences tremendous spiritual and energy effects, it causes wild visions and shifts in perceptions, sometimes lasting for weeks. Most people that experience Kundalini think they are going insane, and if they are lucky they find someone that can help them through the process.
The benefits of having gone through the Kundalini process, is that your connection to the spirit is vastly expanded, and your energy-systems are stronger. Kundalini energy itself can be used to interact with other's chakras, starting them also on the road of the Kundalini experience.
For more info on Chakras and Kundalini:
*Elemental energy
These energies are those that take on the properties of various elements, such as earth, air, fire, water, cold, metal, etc.
The benefit of using Elemental energies is that you can work their properties into your effects. I have personally witnessed some very innovative uses of Elemental energies and the most effective ones were in programmed Constructs.
Elemental tends to be about average strength to Ambient, but can be combined with other energy types for enhanced abilities.
*Soul energy
This energy type feels very light, medium-high pitched. Those that can tap its power gain a great deal of strength to their energy-working abilities. Those that use it tend to be seen as 'angelics'. Not to say good or evil. As everyone uses power as they choose to.
*Veil energy
This stuff feels like very high pitched burning tar or napalm. In other words, it burns like hell, and doesn't just stop when you stop interacting with the source of it. It often causes painful headaches that last for hours.
The practical upshot is that most people that experience it, run like hell from it and never want to experience it again. So those that wield it have a great weapon that most people have no desire to ever tangle with. And most other types of energy don't shield well from it either. It takes a lot of practice to adapt to this stuff.
The only people that I've ever met that have Veil energy, have had 2 things in common. They are all secret to the point of paranoia. And most of them consider themselves to be, or are considered by others to be "Nephilim", (fallen angels, or the kin of human and fallen). So far, I've met over a dozen.
As for Veil energy in itself, it's very potent, more so than Core. But its hard to control and tends to keep the wielder angry and paranoid. I expect this is because of how it affects the human body chemistry that produces emotions.
*Void energy
This energy type is very hard to grasp, like trying to grab smoke. Most skilled in the communities have experienced this energy, but few seem to be able to use it.
