Godai Associations
See also:The Five Elements
In the Godai Elemental System, Void is the highest and most important of the five elements but doesn't openly represent actual nothingness/destruction as commonly believed. Instead, Void, as depicted in Godai, represents everything that are beyond man's everyday experience and understanding - something that exists, yet does not - a mysterious contradictory force that can't be perceived by one's normal senses. As such, by tapping into this power, users of the Void can achieve any of the following associated powers:
- Aether Manipulation
- Creation
- Dream Manipulation
- Existence Manipulation
- Imperceptibility
- Soul Manipulation
- Telepathy
- Telekinesis
Limitations
- Users may accidentally remove parts of themselves, emotions, memories, or even physical pieces.
- Users of Erasure Immunity are immune.
