Void

Void is a para classical element the represents nothingness and removal, it works via matter annihilation which occurs when matter and antimatter collide. Void can be fused from Order and Chaos where Order embodies structure and consistency which is cancelled out by Chaos which embodies entropy and randomness.

Manifestation

Essence

Void is often seen as a dark vivid red-purple light which is due to the red shifting of visible light as the Void magic pulls in and destroys reality around itself. Void isn't nothingness itself, but the process of breaking down reality into nothingness, it is a vacuum, a hunger. Void mages initially start out by using the pulling effects of Void magic as they open small rifts that begin to eat away everything around them, these are however limited to the strength of the mage. Advanced Void mages can create large rifts that tear holes through reality creating portals and can also drain spiritual energy from their enemies inciting pure fear from them, they can also use Void magic to observe locations using multiple rifts however it can be very demanding on the mind of the mage. Many have been driven to madness due to Void magic as staring into nothingness causes the mind to create something in its place, usually with strange to maddening results. Void magic also tends to take the form of strange tendrils due to how the magic naturally clumps onto itself, this can often be used to create strange limbs, though uncontrolled and prolonged exposure has been known to taint creatures into strange mutated forms leaving them beyond restoration from any kind of magic.

Enchanting

Armor can be enchanted with Void magic in order to imbue it with incredibly protection against energy based attacks and some protection against physical as it absorbs a lot of impact. Void enchanted weapons harness the draining properties of Void magic allowing the user to be healed as they inflict damage to others, this can also incite fear and maddness in the enemy if the enchantment is powerful enough.
