    It does make question me just how "dead" the likes of Diabolos and other powerful voidsent are considering that destroying their vessels would not necessarily destroy their souls and other instances of killing voidsent refer to it as simply "banishing them back to the void".
    The RDM questline elaborates on how a line of Mhachi sorcerers made a covenant with a Voidsent through ingesting her blood. This is all more than slightly reminiscent of RPR's abilities, right down to siphoning life essence and the accompanying spell effects.






    Aside from the connection itself, the most notable thing about this is that the guy who was supporting Lambard and his proto-RPR research was none other than Zenos himself. So the fact that he shows up as a Reaper in Endwalker should come as no surprise, considering he's obviously been interested in this Voidsent stuff for years already.

    It probably depends on whether the void connects to the Lifestream or not, which seems less likely because they'd just drain up all the aether in there. If it doesn't, you'd have a collection of vengeful spirits, starved of aether, cursed with immortality, unable to attain satisfaction, and nursing a 10000 year old grudge.

    I thought the official line with the Diablo Armament was "It's a different Diablos that got trapped by the Allagans".

    The Diablo Armament was a "simulation" of Diabolos created by the Allagans somehow recording his soul's wavelengths from when he was summoned in their era then using that data to transform a dragon into him.

    Still, given what we know about how the soul and body share a bond, I feel like it's possible that the voidsent who are summoned through vessels may simply end up having their souls yanked back into their real bodies in the 13th if they "die" on the Source. I'm honestly expecting to see some familiar faces in whatever dungeon we're liable to get in 6.2.
