* Araune of ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' WasOnceAMan, but overexposure to the Boundary has turned him into a gibbering blob of liquid [[{{Mana}} sethir]]. Celica's ability to erode sethir makes Arakune panic and feel sick whenever she's near him. Terumi also feels sick from this effect as well, implying that his ghost form is also a pure magic being.

* Spren in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''.

to:

* Spren in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive''. They are tiny pieces of power from one or more gods, given a kind of life by people's emotions and thoughts. Some are essentially animals in their own Realm while others are intelligent enough to have a society. Also, at least some of the intelligent ones can form bonds with humans that allow the spren to maintain their intelligence when manifesting in the Physical Realm, and give the human magical powers.

* WorldOfWarcraft has Anveena who is the human form of the Sunwell. The Sunwell is literally nothing BUT a mass of huge magical energy. It also serves as the key to allow Kil'jaeden and other Burning Legion nasties into the world, but Anveena was having none of this and killed herself to stop it all (the portal was already open at the time, her death would close it). After, an alien prophet used the spark of a dead EnergyBeing angel to 'revive' the Sunwell, but Anveena stayed 'dead'.
