==Is Ruined/Destroyed investiture?==
*[https://wob.coppermind.net/events/171/#e8210 Investiture can't be created or destroyed]
*"This machine immediately began feeding on them, destroying their
bodies and harvesting their Investiture. The result was the shroud, sprayed
into the air, left to rain down and blanket the land. A dark miasma literally
crafted from the dead, everyone’s Identities evaporated and transformed
into this dark force. Imagine it like…the tar that decomposed bodies
sometimes turn into over many years of incredible pressure. The shroud is
that, except souls, left as refuse from the machine’s initial activation.
A soul cannot be destroyed; it can only change forms. The machine,
then, didn’t use people up so much as transform them. They lingered as
this blackness, a churning soup made of tens of thousands of souls subject
to the machine’s domineering will, held in eternal bondage to something
they’d created." (Yumi 39)
