deprecate energy

This tag is being used all over the place without coherent distinction. Be it aura, fire, energy beam, electricity, magic, wind, or anything that glows. This feels like another case of light tag where it's used whenever someone is not sure what to tag, and therefore it's quite redundant to have this tag around.

While more specific tags are always better, sometimes energy is just... energy, and I think it's valuable to tag it when it's hard to be more specific.

Seconding this though I'm not oppsed to redefining the name to make it more specific.

With magic you tag someone casting a spell of some kind or the clear work of a magic artifact.
Aura is a glowing character or object that is surrounded with power, like DB characters or other shonen characters powered up forms.

I'm not sure how to tag post #8573570, post #8393223, post #8328123, or post #8216305 for instance under just those two tags. Now I do think all three are in a sorry state and have massive overlap at the moment, I'm just stating if energy disappears there isn't a tag for some of the currently inhabitanting images. I'm only in favor of deprecating if there is a new tag for this swirling energy in images.
