Phlogiston is a mechanic unique to Natlan that can be used in combat, in exploration, and as an energy source. It is an advanced form of Pyro and has various manifestations, including Liquid Phlogiston, Solid Phlogiston, Gaseous Phlogiston, and Spiritways.[1]
Phlogiston is a form of computronium used by the dragons, and is programmable matter considered the most efficient form of storing information.[2] It carries deep spiritual significance to the people of Natlan, symbolizing their indomitable spirit.[1]
Overview[]
When Phlogiston is obtained, it fills the Phlogiston Meter, which is shared between all party members. It is consumed when in Nightsoul's Blessing state after all Nightsoul points are exhausted and when using various Saurian Indwelling abilities, including swimming in Liquid Phlogiston.
The player can possess a maximum of 100 Phlogiston, indicated above the HP bar. When indwelling a Saurian, the Saurian will have an extra Phlogiston storage of 50 points. Each Phlogiston Particle restores 20 points.
Phlogiston is not available in Domains.

Touching Phlogiston, destroying or collecting objects that contain it will create Phlogiston Particles, which can be absorbed to restore your Phlogiston.
In addition, there seem to be objects that can continuously replenish Phlogiston levels.
Lore[]
Phlogiston is Teyvat's primordial form of energy[3] and was used by the ancient dragon civilization to store information.[2] Various Phlogiston recordings can be found in Natlan's ruins from the dragon civilization.
Elemental energy is the modern, Human Realm counterpart to phlogiston. To better counter the Abyss, the Heavenly Principles modified Elemental energy using phlogiston as a basis.[3][Note 1]

Trivia[]
- Phlogiston (Greek: (Ancient Greek: φλογιστόν), "burnt up") is a term coined by chemist Georg Ernst Stahl, to describe something supposed to exist within all combustible bodies and be released during combustion, before the discovery of oxygen and the development of atomic theory.
Notes[]
- ↑ The English localization's wording in Beneath the Secret Source is somewhat misleading. Based on the original Chinese text, the Heavenly Principles did not create Elemental energy from phlogiston; it only transformed elemental energy to have similar properties as phlogiston.
Yohualtecuhtin, Lord of the Night: 燃素是提瓦特原初的力量，而元素力则是由天理在燃素的基础上改造而成，此番改造本就是为了应对深渊威胁。 "Phlogiston is Teyvat's primordial form of energy. The Heavenly Principles transformed Elemental energy using phlogiston as a basis, so as to better combat the Abyss."
