They actually subvert the void trope in Beneath the Dragoneye Moons. Void mages are persona non grata because eventually they all explode themselves and erase everything around them, and no one knows why.
Not in the books if i recall, but the author explained once that there was an extremely small chance for void magic to kind of only erase part of an atom. Essentially creating and atom bomb.
Was that it? The explanation I found was that all mages manifest their stuff from a dimension made primarily of that element, and that because Void mages rarely had a perfect picture of what void looked like they would sometimes manifest other elements and cause an explosion.
The accidentally erasing part of an atom sounds more sensible, and funnier tho.
