Sin Eaters

[Kalise]

The question is: From where?

The Thirteenth fell to void no less than 6,000 years ago and, as a Dark-born void, still has voidsent lingering within it. Arbert taught us (and the devs confirmed) that a Light-born void leaves "blank perfection" in its wake, not Sin Eaters. Ergo, the only way we know of for Sin Eaters to appear (so far) is that a Flood of Light must be in progress. Neither Arbert nor Elidibus (nor anything else) suggested that a dimension other than the Thirteenth fell to a Flood until the First's situation arose.

I think this goes back to my question surrounding to what extent is "Over-Exposure to Light"?

Like, a flood of light being in progress is enough to cause sufficient exposure and does so on a large scale. But is there potential for more condensed exposure to happen for more isolated cases?

For example, if someone is trying to find a new potent healing spell - Such as one potent enough to raise the dead - Could they not incidentally expose themselves to high amounts of light and thus transform into a Sin Eater? Allowing their existence without there necessarily being a calamity-esk event.

This still needs a bit of tidying up. They say that auracite lead to monters, but they also said that the voidsent are the remnants of people and animals that were alive during the Flood of Darkness. Surely animals weren't wielding auracite. Perhaps the monsters died in the flood. Perhaps the monsters became the unique voidsent at the top of the hierarchy like Diabolos and Scathach.

Well, we know from Haukke Manor that Voidsent have the capacity to corrupt others (In hard mode the first few enemies include: The first enemy is a Wood Wailer whom is corrupted into Voidsent. The next 3 trash packs include Succubi that if not dealt with quickly enough, will convert a nearby Wood Wailer into a Voidsent)

So it's possible that the people whom were corrupted by the Auracite then in their more mindless Voidsent state would go around corrupting other people and animals (Since you have to assume that not all people where using Auracite just like animals wouldn't be). Sort of like the trope of Zombies going around infecting people to create more Zombies.

Though, it does raise some questions about how they go about corrupting someone. Like, do they just have an abundance of that corrupted Auracite? Can all Voidsent corrupt (We only see specifically Succubi doing it)? Are they merely channelling condensed Darkness into the host to corrupt them?

This also makes me curious about what would happen if a Voidsent tried to corrupt a Sin Eater? Can Sin Eaters corrupt people? Is there a way to cleanse Voidsent/Sin Eaters and bring them back to their original states?
