Posted Apr 14, 2024Typically energy spells would be limited to only acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. For example Protection from Energy.

Posted Apr 15, 2024Thanks for the feedback!
In 5e, currently there are only two spells with energy in their name from what I could find. Protection from Energy deals with acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder and Negative Energy Flood which deals with necrotic.
D&D 5e does mention the word energy in regards to spells in general, such as with the magic item Rod of Absorption. Another magic item Dragon's Wrath Weapon refers to energy in the form of a dragon's breath weapon, which would include many damage types outside of acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder.
I can totally understand limiting all energy related spells to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder in general unless they specifically say something like negative energy for necrotic. I lean towards the flexibility in energy not being limited to just acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder since there are only two spells that have energy in their name and both involve different damage types; plus examples of the word energy being used to describe a dragon's breath weapon and spells in general may also allow for flexibility.
At least this is where my thought process was.
