[Balor]

Applicable BYOND Key - Drezdongle
Character Name - Kitari, Arashi/Leonidas Rom Philopator
Request Type - General Invention for public use.
Request Details -  Considering current lore and a general lack of understanding as to how Void is detected I wish to have my character with use of resources at hand as a Minor Noble. Develop a device that measures the presence of Void.  Specifically two versions of the same device. 

Details are as follows, they are two devices made up of conduiz, and other alloys that facilitate casting. Powered by a focus tuning crystal that acts like a battery, it puts out small pulses of focus that increase when Void Pollution is present.  The more void pollution, the more focus is drained from the focus tuning crystal at a rapid rate. A ticking sound will ramp up with a meter measuring Void Pollution in Voightgins.  

1. The standard Handheld Device is the R.V.D-HD.  Meant for measuring surface level pollution and Sentient Creatures exposed to void. It can be attached to the belt, and or held in the hand. Its focus crystals can last up to an hour in a non-void polluted zone.  And up to fifteen minutes in a heavily compromised one. Typically has a range of 10 meters. 

2. The Heavier Version meant to be attached to ships or Wagons is called the R.V.D-MD.  Typically mounted to the bow of shipping vessels. The expensive crystals and focus sources that power the device can last up to a month per charge in unpolluted zones.  Meant to detect residual pollution as a means to redirect ships from Dark Zones on the high seas, it can detect Void Pollution from three kilometers away.  

Devices can be prone to tampering by talented mages, and can have varying effects on rune-casting. 

Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I want to develop a device that people can use in their fluff, or apply when in void related situations. Scientists, Archeologists, etc. It would also mean that my character could have a patent and a regular source of income from the use of said device. 
Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - Arashi as a minor noble runs a trading company that uses the profits from leasing out their shipping lanes, and customs works in Port Alpha to run Archaeological sites and operations in Gold. With the risk of some of these ancient ruins and locales having been exposed to Void Pollution after the curse, or having turned into Dark Zones over the last few decades. 

Arashi and his associates set upon developing a device that could detect Void Pollution, allowing their research and Preservation of Onigan Culture to go forward unhindered. The development would also make sense for their since it allows his shipping vessels to travel between Gold and the other continents at a significantly lower risk of accidentally running into a Dark Zone on the high seas, and allows them to sell the device to others who could use it for a profit. 

Lorewise considering devices like the Railgan shooting bots being able to exert that much focus, and that Void eats focus.  The logic for such a device to exist is there within what lore is available.
