MacThorstenson he/him Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 As far as I know, there is no way to be able to separate a hemalurgic enhancement from the actual spirit web, because for all intents and purposes there is no difference in spirit web. If that did happen, kandra and koloss couldn't exist. Koloss are just humans with 4 strength spikes. A shard-blade is essentially distilled investiture. So if you removed its affects, it wouldn't be able to cut anything. I'm with voidus on this one. Now we have $0.04.
Steel Inquisitive he/him Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 We could still have them. they would just be deadly for some people..... which isn't a bad thing! It could be a good thing to have safe havens for the weaker players. We could say that the Voids only manifest in the Physical Realm. That would allow for spirit webs but would still stop people from actively using their powers.

kenod Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Could you use magic to enter them? Like use a teleportation power to send opponents into them? 1
+Ark1002 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Posted January 21, 2019 I'd say no, because something has to happen on each side. If, somehow, one only had any effect on the side it's coming from, then yes, but I don't think that works.
+Sorana she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Why do you want to create them? What will such an area add to the rp? The Alleyverse itself is an high fantasy setting - and almost all characters rely on that in one way or the other. To me that sounds a bit as if you want to try to press an non-fantasy setting in a high-fantasy one...

I think that's what it brings to the table. The opportunity to put your character in a situation where their magic can't help them..... Also tWoT Is about as high-fantasy as it gets and had the steddings.
+Sorana she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) But if you want to create such a situation you can simply create a thread set in Legion-Earth and there you are? E.g. the Waystop is also located in Roshar. TWoT was a planet, not the Alleyverse that is only stable because of investiture. There is a difference here for me. Edited January 21, 2019 by Sorana

Most characters are reliant on them, and this stops that completely. Also, it adds cool possibilities for a siege the castle thing, because you can't use investiture. And, yes, there is some non-fantasy to it, but what's the problem with that? Edited January 21, 2019 by Ark1002 Computer didn't let me finish

I didn't want to attack you. I simply was curious why a location like the waystop set in a non highly invested region won't work.

I simply was curious why a location like the waystop set in a non highly invested region won't work. I actually didn't read it that way, I like debating. I get that it isn't invested, but people in the alleyverse can always bring investiture. This way, it just rules out the option.
+Sorana she/her Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Alright. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, just as I liked the concept of the Thieve's guild. I'm simply not sure if it works with the worldbuilding so far and wanted to think about an alternative. That's why I asked for the reasons.
MacThorstenson he/him Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I also agree with Sorana, based on the current understanding of the alleyverse, it doesn’t seem possible for this to happen. I think that other parts of the Void (the space between universes) could be used to achieve this, but they would also be outside of the alleyverse.
Steel Inquisitive he/him Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I think it works so long as the Voids only manifest in the PR. The investiture holding the world together would be located primarily in the SR anyways. And besides that if this world is so unstable as to need a spike to hold it together, doesn't it make sense that there would be places that were only barley holding on? Like their investiture from the PR is leaking out. 1
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Just make a giant leecher globe. That'll get rid of Investiture.

Steel Inquisitive he/him Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Just now, Voidus said: Possibly but then anyone who enters it would probably die. I don't think so because the investiture of the other realms are still there. It's not like their souls would get sucked away. They just couldn't pull any investiture to the PR. 1
Voidus Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 If the reason that there's no Investiture is due to dimensional instability then it's going to be dangerous.
Steel Inquisitive he/him Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Yup! Makes for some interesting scenarios.... How big were you guys thinking? I was picturing something like a square mile at the most... with a couple hounded yards at the least.

Steel Inquisitive he/him Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Probably should have a vote to see how people feel about the concept..... Even if the Voids aren't implemented until next era (era 4) It would be good to see how many people like/dislike the concept! @#Voidapple Edited January 25, 2019 by Steel Inquisitive Grammar......

Gancho Libre he/him Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Question: what are investiture voids? They sound cool, so I'll vote for them, but what do they do?
Steel Inquisitive he/him Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) They would be spots where all the investiture has been sucked out of the PR. Basically meaning that no magic can be used while in one, but you won't die just by being there.... For a more complete answere read thread.... Edited January 26, 2019 by Steel Inquisitive More thoughts...

I'm going to find a better name now!
