Ascended beings or archailects are those who have ascended beyond the existential plane from which they originate. They are usually Type 4 or beyond and are usually in a state of pure energy, having escaped and transcended the trappings of a material shell and existence. Ascended exhibit the final traits of sapience. Personalities can range from benevolence and protective, to chaos and evil.
Early ascendance into energy could be achieved with laser porting.
Uploading to black holes entails leaving organic bodies behind and becoming gravitational beings, the most efficient creatures in the universe. Such civilizations observe the fabric of the universe at the resolution of reality, meet and merge with their peers in black hole merger events, and eventually give birth to new universes.
In fantasy cosmologies such as the Forgotten Realms Universe, spirits, angels, demons, and gods are often made of energy. Planeswalkers may also choose to be in a pure energy form if necessary.
