"Embrace the stillness of eternity."
— Exdeath, Dissidia Final Fantasy
VOID, yours is the power opposed.
But yours is potential, eternity potential, force that could deny Time.
VOID, harness shall be placed upon you.

Why do you despise the VOID?
Embrace...the Nothingness!
Nothingness...is...ETERNAL!

Nephandic magic is based not on alteration, but on negation. Sphere magic is inclusive, Qlippothic exclusive. It is the practice of drawing on the places where Creation breaks down, and widening those cracks further.
Nephandi do not seek to alter reality or add to it, but rather to destroy it. Each act of magic they work is an attempt to feed more of Creation to their dark masters. Some Nephandi believe that if they can simply use magic on enough of reality, a certain critical mass will be reached and the rest will slide into the Abyss. While this is a minority position, there is no denying that the Resonance of Nephandic magic bears with it a faint charnel whiff of the pit, and the cold of the lightless void beyond the stars.

"In our desperation we turned to the Void. The blinding night, the hellspace where our science and reason failed. We took the twisted few that had returned from that place. We built a frame around them, a conduit of their affliction."

"Originally we studied Void occurrences from afar, observing and cataloguing the distribution of galaxies and refining cosmological evolution models. We are in a new age of cosmic exploration. Advancements in space travel partnered with determined curiosity have brought us closer to our object of study, and with it, revelation."

"The gods bestowed upon me a greater strength. The fine grains, which the four branches hold influence over, are comprised of even finer grains. These grains do not belong to any of the four and instead are the substance of their making. The branch that has been bestowed unto me by the gods wields these finer grains and applies an influence which transforms them into spells. This hidden nothingness, this so-called zero that the gods have bestowed upon me I hereby name ‘Void’."
No need to keep running, mes amis! There's nothing to be afraid of!

"Doctor Void!" the prisoners exclaimed in unison.
"But you can't be alive", Measure Man shouted. "On the 42nd page of the 2239th issue of Hypercyberman, Hypercyberman moleculed you into atoms and threw you into outer space!"
'"That's right, in outer space. Hah hah haa!" Doctor Void laughed. "The outer space is a VOID, you fools, and my name is Doctor VOID! I absorb energy from the VOID! I was recovered in an instant!"
