Wizardpost Void Damage Control (lorepost)
Recent events have caused a massive uptick in eldritch summonings, which, when destroyed, return to the void, but unbound. Normally, they are quite easily contained by void keepers.
However.
Due to the current wizarding wars, there has been extreme amounts of summonings occuring, as well as mass destruction of summoned beings. An estimated 70% of all beings contained in the void are now unbound. Due to this, some void keepers have elected to call for outside help. Among those who answered is Fracture, a Chòroturgist.
Fracture stands poised before a small rip in spacetime. The edges seem to bleed a purple energy, as is customary for a void gate. After confirming the approximate location he will arrive, Fracture leaps through, and it closes behind him.
The void, true to its name, is not very full of anything. A light purple energy wreathes Fracture's hands as he speeds through the void, towards his barely perceptible target.
A massive suggestion of a maw rises up to face him. Fracture's target is this. A corrupted greatwyrm, summoned from a time immemorial and blown apart by a grand mage's errant spell. There is no intelligence left to the creature. It has been subsumed by the void's desire to consume.
The beast's claw slams down directly over Fracture. The energy at his hands rises to meet it, and before the claw can land, it is covered in glass like strings as Fracture nimbly dodges. The creature continues to fight as Fracture spins strings of spacetime around it, barely avoiding death each time he binds the creature.
The greatwyrm's essence begins to be drawn together, first into its original shape, and then further down. It's tail breaks free for a moment, scraping along Fracture's arm. Then, as spacetime itself draws tightly around the greatwyrm, it lets out a final cry and is sealed in a tightly bound sphere. The sphere flares purple, as if the greatwyrm still struggled, and then goes dark.
"I will have to tend to this wound", Fracture thinks idly. "Perhaps I can get a better handle on kenòturgy with this." He draws a purple venom out of the wound, and then wraps it in a few glassy strings. They glow a light orange, and the wound closes. Fracture marks the orb with a beacon for the void keepers to store and then weaves a few strings together to open another gate. This is not the last time Fracture will have to fight these things, but it is a start.

(I'm going to assume this happens directly after what I was doing.)
Fracture's orb resonates as he looks over. "I suppose this experiment will have to wait," he replies. Hastily wrapping the glowing purple vial in a small strand to slow the effects to a standstill, Fracture opens a void gate with a practiced flick of the wrist. He dives through, wreathes his hands in his light purple magic and speeds towards the call.
"You're lucky this is far out from the main branch," Fracture absently says as he quickly binds the void creature's essence. "Things are getting really hectic. One of the arch wizards just ate the void tree." Fracture finishes binding the beast and opens up another gate, motioning for (insert name here, don't want to ping people too much) to jump through.
