Energy Manipulation comes in four basic "flavors"; Arcane Magic, Mind Magic, Deific Magic, and Elemental Magic (or Cosmic Manipulation).
Arcane Magic is the typical, magic-user spell flinger who uses gestures and incantations, along with consumable foci to shape Arcane Energy into the spells intent.
Mind Magic is the use of mental energies to perform tasks. It is used by ESPers, Telekinetics, Mind Controllers, etc...
Deific Magic is used by Priests to do the will of their Patron, normally a God. These are the Priestly Prayers that perform miraculous feats in the name of a religious figurehead. They, normally, require that the Priest remain in good standing with his Patron, use the Patrons' ”Holy Symbol" in calling for the power, and a short Prayer, asking for the miracle and detailing what the power will be used for.
Elemental Magic is the manipulation of elemental and cosmic energies by sheer willpower and skill, to perform tasks. Drew Barrymores character in Firestarter was an Elemental Magic users in the form of a Pyromancer.
The Compass is the symbol of the Energy Manipulation Wheel.

There are other energies, which will be discussed later.
