I encountered the word in a game but I can't find the word in Renshuu's dictionary.
The closest thing I could find (in the dictionary) is 気障, which means "smug" or "conceited," so I'd assume 障気 means something similar.
You probably meant to write 瘴気(しょうき), it's pretty common in games.
I found only one entry amongst the dictionaries that I used.
Same meaning as 瘴気
ショウキ 山川に生じ、むし暑くてからだに害になるような毒気。
Probably just an alternate old writing.
From the kanji, it makes sense too.
障 (harmful, hindrance, etc) + 気 (air) -> miasma, noxious air, poisonous gas, etc
Upon further investigation, I found a game that uses that version (meaning is the same, maybe with some fantasy flavour)
【TOA】テイルズオブジアビス #86 障気の中和
It's either an alternate, old way of writing it, or a modern take on the word for the purpose of the game. To me the latter seems more plausible.
Edit: I also found a post about a manga chapter that uses it: 障気ダダ漏れのナキカ様、そうとう落ち込んでいるようで…
Here is feels like it might be meant as an alternate way of writing 正気(しょうき) though. Not 100% sure.
Ok, that one might be layered word-play that kinda goes over my head :D

Yeah, テイルズオブジアビス was the game I was playing.
Thanks for the answers, everyone!
