Devour

In an episode of the Spanish-language web novel El Caballero Maquiavélico, the character Luca wakes after eight days in a coma with an unprecedented ability: an area attack capable of repelling all energy.

An indie action roguelike has opened sign-ups for its beta playtest.

In an ongoing science fiction worldbuilding project, the Ka'Ris are depicted as nanotechnology experts capable of engineering a substance that devours the Empire's smart materials.

The concept is shared as art, produced in Blender.
