As writer I would say: It depends on your story. Is the story similar to Final Fantasy VII? Do you have a similar setting? Do people use the power in similar ways?

The source and the origin
Where did your energy started? Created by an higher being? Was it there the whole time? How did your power started?
The past
What happened in the past with your power? There weren't nice guys around until your conflict happened. So how was your power used in the past?
Try to differentiate your story from that of FF. You can't recreate the wheel, but you can design it in your way.
