Permadeath

Permadeath is a Creatures of the Void concept which refers to the killing of players. A defining concept of a player is the ability to return to the living after death. Permadeath is a type of death in which the player does not return, and can be achieved by multiple methods.
==N-Type damage==
N-Type damage, also known as permadamage, is damage inflicted which cannot be healed. This, naturally, leads to permadeath if too much is inflicted upon a player.
Sorcerers in the early days of Hestion knew a spelltype that could heal this type of damage, and was used on normal people inflicted with N-Type damage. The spell has since been lost, however, and the only method left remaining is the Fountain of Eneeroth, which produces a liquid capable of restoring this damage via a charm placed on it many years in the past.
==Cases of permadeath in CotV==
This doesn't have anything yet, but when it does it'll be spoilertagged.
==Methods of permadeath==
*Deconstruct Swords deal N-Type damage, and were Keaton's primary method in his days as an Aftermath Hunter.
*Gott-Meinian Acid deals N-Type damage, and is used in the construction of Deconstruct Swords.
*If an excessive amount of damage is dealt in one strike to a player (around the order of 1000 HP or 50 x ), the player may die permanently.
**When this energy is focused via a Lattice Engine, the chance is increased by a great deal, to nearly 100%, due to the nature of lattices.
*If enough damage is done to a player's body soon before their death, they may not be able to respawn.
**This does not cover damage incurred at the time of death: players killed in destructive manners like explosions can respawn.
*If a player chooses to permanently commit suicide or to not return after being killed, they may enter The Black Door after death. This will cause the player to either die permanently, or exit Hestion and travel to the Outside. It is unknown which happens, as in either situation a return is impossible.
