Voidal (element)

Void, or Voidal, is an eighth element that is not ruled over by any Goddess, and is not traditionally included in the Pantheon of Seven. It is the specific lack of magic, a sort of anti-magic in a way. Whereas the other seven elements are forces of creation, Voidal is a force of destruction. It cannot create, only manipulate and destroy that which already exists. Due to its nature, it does not require a medium to be cast, as it does not need to be aspected nor stabilized. One can cast it directly through the palms, and it does not follow the traditional magic casting system — ie, it does not require magic circles or specialized practices. However, it does still require mana to use, and a considerably larger amount than most mid-range spells.

Current Usage
Initially, only Eidolons had use of this kind of magic, as they had to learn how to utilize it after being sent into the Sealed Realm, but when Mephisto Pheles entered the overworld and into Mortal society, he influenced members of the Crystal Orthodoxy in the Northë, who began studying and utilizing it — before subsequently abandoning Crystalism and rebranding into the Cult of Pheles. Eventually the Nixcruor Empire, which has control over the former Church of the Crystal Orthodoxy, decided to start incorporating Voidal magic into the abilities of its military ranks, furthering it's usage among mortals.
