Most everything is comprised of one or more energies. One energy is usually in concentration, like the life energy of living creatures, the negative energy of the undead, or the fire energy of fiery elementals. Spells are composed of various types of energy like the arcane energy of a mage's Fireball which has an Energy Composition of arcane, fire, and air; the latter to give the spell flight. Areas, worlds, and even entire systems can be a concentration for certain energy types. These areas are Focuses, places where the attuned energy is more potent than normal.
