Using special abyssite stones, monsters called "'''Voidwalkers'''" may be summoned from the parallel world of [[Abyssea]]. These monsters are an integral part of the [[Trial of the Magians]] for the creation of [[Empyrean Weapons]].
|}
==Getting Started==
Speak to [[Assai Nybaem]] in [[Ru'Lude Gardens]] (G-10) and purchase a {{KI}} [[clear abyssite]] for 1,000 gil. 
For [[Abyssea]] areas, instead purchase a {{KI}} [[clear demilune abyssite]] for 300 [[cruor]] from a [[Cruor Prospector]].

==How It Works==
When you have any of the {{KI}} abyssite key items, resting with <code>/heal</code> will check whether there are any Voidwalker NMs alive anywhere in the zone:
*The message "The abyssite quivers ever so slightly, '''but emits no light'''" means that there are no Voidwalkers currently alive in this zone that you are currently able to spawn.
*The message "The abyssite quivers ever so slightly '''and emits a faint light'''" means that there is at least one Voidwalker alive in the zone that you are currently able to spawn.
**Since you can carry multiple tiers of abyssite simultaneously - for example, a [[clear abyssite]], a [[colorful abyssite]], and a [[purple abyssite]] - this message alone does not tell you what you're detecting. For that, you must be enough to get a "beam of light". See the table below.
*If you get no message at all when you <code>/heal</code>, you're in a zone that has no Voidwalkers.
**Relevant zones are shown in the big infographic below.

If there is a Voidwalker reasonably close to you (within 300 yalms of your current position), you will receive a message indicating the distance and closest compass direction to the VWNM.
*The strength of the "beam of light" emitted by the abyssite indicates the tier of VWNM detected. See the table below.
*If you have two or more applicable abyssites and there are two or more nearby spawnable VWNMs, it will (usually {{verification}}) report the nearest, regardless of tier.

If you <code>/heal</code> within ~5 yalms of the Voidwalker's current location, it will spawn and attack you.
*They move more quickly than players, and <code>/heal</code>ing takes time, so it may take several attempts.
*The VWNM spawns claimed to the player that popped it.
*If it is a tier 3+ VWNM, that player is also the only one who loses their {{KI}} abyssite when the VWNM spawns.

Each tier of Voidwalker has a different message for its abyssite resonance:
{| class=default1 style="width: 100%; max-width: 800px; text-align: center;"
|-
! Tier
! Type
! Abyssite Message
! Respawn Time
|-
| 1
| "Small Fry"
| feebly
| Within Minutes
|-
| 2
| NM
| softly
| 60 Minutes
|-
| 3
| "Shadow"/"True" HNM
| solidly
| 120+ Minutes
|-
| 4
| Yilbegan
| strongly
| 120+ Minutes, likely 8+ Hours. Exact time unknown {{Information Needed}}
|-
|}

Tier 3 and 4 VWNMs have two different versions that can spawn, often referred to as "Shadow" and "True". The "True" versions grant a title and drop rings, while the "Shadow" versions do not. 
These names come from the only visible difference between the two: "True" VWNMs cast a shadow, while the "Shadow" version has an otherwise identical model and animations but casts no shadow. 
Make sure you have "High" shadows enabled in your game settings (under Config -> Misc. settings) to be able to see the shadow! If this setting is enabled and the monster does not cast a shadow, it is not "True".

Upon defeating a VWNM, there is a chance that your {{KI}} abyssite will upgrade to the next tier of abyssite:
*When you defeat a tier 1, there is a low chance that your [[clear abyssite]] will upgrade into a [[colorful abyssite]] if you don't already have one.
**If you already have a [[colorful abyssite]], you cannot upgrade the [[clear abyssite]].
*When you defeat a tier 2, there is a medium chance that your [[colorful abyssite]] will upgrade into a tier 3 abyssite, depending on the zone you're currently in:
**Bastok area: [[Orange abyssite]]
**San d'Oria area: [[Blue abyssite]]
**Windurst area: [[Brown abyssite]]
**Jeuno area: [[Yellow abyssite]]
**Northlands area: [[Purple abyssite]]
**If you have the tier 3 abyssite for the zone you're currently in, you can't upgrade the [[colorful abyssite]]. (This is '''good''' if you're doing a tier 2 VWNM [[Magian Trial]] - you won't have to farm another [[colorful abyssite]]!)
*Spawning a tier 3 will '''immediately destroy''' your tier 3 abyssite!
**However, killing a tier 3 (whether Shadow or True) has a high chance to drop a [[black abyssite]] if you don't already have one.
*Spawning [[Yilbegan]], the only tier 4 VWNM, will '''immediately destroy''' your [[black abyssite]].
**Since there is no tier 5, [[Yilbegan]] doesn't drop any abyssite.
