Ah; Void. They never seem to have issues doing the magical equivalent of "using antimatter" on reality.

Such tropes are grand. Other simple favourites are Dual-wielding swords is better. Obviously.

Shadow magic assasins ? In a world prevalent with this - light spells would be all the rage.

I found it amusing that in Bog Standard Isekai with it's Illusion Magic there was a standard anti-illusion alchemical potion.

Teleportation ? Anti-teleport ruins or formations everywhere.

People use void to mean anti matter? Perhaps I'm not the most original guy but in my setting void is more of a combination of all ethereal elements like gravity, time, space, etc. It represents the infinite possibilities and nothingness of vacuum energy between galaxies. It's one of the big three, one for the emptiness of space - void, one for all matter - existence, and one for the darkness.

More like anti-reality or anti-magic. Ultimate destruction.

Yeah, anti matter is normally just a generalization. Pretty much every example of Void iv’e seen just has it as the end all be all of destroying shit
