Vatru

Vatru is a term that appears primarily in fictional and speculative contexts to designate a form of ambient energy, a deity, or a set of magical principles. There is no single, canonical real-world definition of vatru, and how it is described varies by author, setting, and medium.

In many fantasy or science-fantasy worlds, vatru is something that can be harnessed or directed by individuals or groups. It may power enchantments, healing, or combat capabilities, and its source can be crystals, sacred sites, natural phenomena, or ancestral memories. Access to vatru is often mediated by ritual practice, training, or lineage, and its use is frequently restricted by laws, guilds, or religious orders. Misuse or overexposure to vatru can lead to negative consequences such as spiritual corruption, physical harm, or unintended magical side effects.

The concept of vatru also serves narrative purposes beyond mechanics. It provides a framework for exploring themes like power and responsibility, balance between different factions, and the ethical implications of exploiting a universal resource. In game design and fiction, vatru systems are commonly designed with margins for specialization, conflicts over control of sources, and evolving lore as the world-building progresses.
