Void Erasure

Void Erasure, also known as the Death Concept, is an effect caused by entirely focusing the destructive aspects of concentrated Void protoplasm. The effect is mostly used against lesser immortals such as Old Brethren, or the avatars/physical manifestations of non-physical beings.
== Description ==
The Death Concept/Void Erasure is the effect of focusing the ability of Void protoplasm to destroy what it makes contact with. The protoplasm taking this effect takes the appearance of a gap in reality; the very protoplasm erodes away the fabric of reality, leaving gaps of disconnected space-time where it has traveled. The protoplasm responds to intent, and will express its active effect at its user's will. 
== Mechanism ==
Once the focused protoplasm has made contact with the intended entity the Void protoplasm envelops an entity and destroys whatever it contacts, including matter, energy, space-time and metaphysical forces like souls or concepts. It is noted that the memories of Bound entities concerning a being killed this way (as acausal beings are unaffected by temporal manipulation and changes to a reality's timeline) and the events that happened from the target's activity are not affected by the use of Void Erasure. 
Void Erasure can be easily utilised by Stage 1 and 2 Transcends due to its relative simplicity of use. The effect can often be applied physically through a Transcend's physical body for melee combat (by focusing and channeling their Void protoplasm through their body) , or at range through their Void field (though the latter approach is ineffective in the presence of hostile Reality Anchors and Old Brethren, due to the power suppression on most reality warping abilities). Ranged casting with a Void Ichor augment can still be countered with Counter Arcana via dispersing the concentrated Void protoplasm as Void Erasure is dependent on concentrated protoplasm to work. This dispersal also applies to a lesser extent with Voidfire, due to the latter's wild and unfocused nature. 
The effects Void Erasure cannot be defended against with most methods, requiring extremely specific protective measures to defend against it, like the absolute rejection of death, erasure and its related concepts that Transcends and Eternal Elixir drinkers possess. Void Erasure is completely useless and even counterproductive against beings like The Silence and its Shardbearers, as effects that kill or erase beings give them a temporary boost in power. Like retroactive erasure effects, the result of Void Erasure use cannot be reversed without unique measures, like utilising specific Transcended Exaltations or Old Brethren Laws. 
Void Erasure requires physical contact to work, and thus is ineffective against beings or forces spread out over a single or multiple realities. Category:Technology
