Like, wounding your world. 
Deadeyed planet.
Investiture cycles go wrong, nahel bonds go on the fritz, ect. 
Really depends on a number of factors. 
PM me if you wanna talk about it!

So hear me out… I rip a seed out of my world, “plant” it somewhere else, and then tear it away again to wreck havoc on an enemy Shard’s magic system without having to use much of my own Investiture. 
Asking for a friend, definitely not something Invention might do should a Shardic war break out. 

Invention was still focused on the movements of the leylines - an interesting pattern of movement had developed, one that sent waves through the Laykium dust in both directions. Any other pattern broke down if it traveled nearby - the pulses colliding with it and disrupting the propagation.

Is the description of the dust patterns making sense to anyone but me? The leylines are Laykium dust which forms circles in line with celestial bodies in the system, but within those leylines something resembling cellular automata is developing.

I... think so? Is it like rings of dust surrounding the protoplanet, tapering off on the trailing edge?

Beyond what I designed, at that point it's up to Ksauce.

But won't ripping it out of Bit wreak havoc on your magic system first?

The dust exists on the planet’s surface in bands, moving around in a way reminiscent of tides. 
It would, yes, but that in itself could be useful. That magic system is what holds the planet in place - and while a Shard could certainly deflect a flung planet, it’d presumably take more Investiture than tearing out the seed would.

Indeed - though three isn’t actually that many, it’s been approximately a week.

I do have an inclination towards such things - at least in hypotheticals, where I don’t actually have to do any work or be especially ethical.

Mercy withdrew her attention from the broader cosmere, turning her focus back to her system. The supernova was bearing down, and she had to be ready. She started to act, but something nagged for her attention. Frowning, she concentrated her presence on the populated planet. 

Horror. How could this have happened? She had only been away for a short time...

While she had been gone, a disease had started. It spread like wildfire through the people with shocking lethality, lining the ground with corpses. Few had survived. The people, accustomed to her removing their suffering, were left entirely susceptible to disaster. In a short period of time, the entire planet was desolated. 

Anibelmeth steeled herself. She could eliminate the disease. She could restore civilization. She could- She-

She had allowed this to happen. No, not allowed. She had caused it. It was only due to her negligence that the catastrophe was able to become so great. On the surface of the planet, Anibelmeth formed a body. She knelt, the snow crunching as she stared down at the lifeless face of a young boy who had been taken. A single tear dropped from her eye, crystalizing before it hit the ground. 

No. She could not let this happen again. Never. She could not afford them her grief, as she was far too critical. She would do what needed to be done. 

Anibelmeth grasped the strands of time, searching, but she already knew. Her plan could no longer work. She doubted it ever would have, but she had wanted it to so badly, to find a different way. A better way. But now... now Anibelmeth saw. As the blast of the supernova raced ever closer, she saw. She could not save them now. But she could do them one final act of service. 

One last mercy. 

She killed them. All of them. All the ones who had survived the disease, killed in a single painless instant. Far better this way than the suffering that they would experience as the supernova tore them apart. 

The light from the supernova finally reached the system, blasting the outermost planet to bits. She grabbed the two seeds it brought with it and tore them away, ignoring the ensuing screams that rippled through the Spiritual Realm as the system's soul was sundered. This way, she would be free of her self-imposed cage, free of what had been stopping her from fully committing to her goal. She strode from the system, leaving behind all her previous efforts. In her wake, destruction followed as it was set ablaze, entire planets crumbling to bits. 

She did not mourn. She did not look back.

Spoiler

@Argenti have the seeds landed?

If so, this would give them a power boost.

What do you mean start worldbuilding? You can worldbuild now in Astronomy.

Is Valor going to do nothing?
