Voidhewn

The Children of the Waste. Voidhewn are not a stable species, but the result of Chaotic Emergence. They are Living Reactors, born with a "Void Maw" parasite in their chest that metabolizes biological matter into magical energy.

The Metabolic Engine: They do not draw magic from the world; they burn it. They require massive caloric intake (flesh, feasts, or Voidfruit) to fuel their power. When low on fuel, they enter Torpor—a hibernation state where they can remain motionless as stone statues for months, making them perfect sentinels.

The Meltdown: Their "Rage" is a lie; it is Radiative Venting. When they burn too hot, they lose thermal containment. Plasma vents violently from their horns, and their skin becomes searing to the touch. They lose control not out of anger, but because their biology is failing to contain the reaction.
