{{magic \|related=[[~~hijo~~Hijo]], [[Virtuosity]] \|type=[[Investiture]] \|world=Komashi \|books=[[Yumi and the Nightmare Painter]] }} ~~{{spoilers\|yumi}}~~ '''Hion''' is a form of [[Investiture]] supplied by the [[hijo]] on [[Komashi]], used to power technology on that world.{{book ref\|yumi\|part=anotherepilogue}} It typically takes the form of a pair of energy bands, colored light blue and magenta, called '''hion lines'''.{{book ref\|yumi\|1}} == Technology == In [[Nagadan]], hion lines are regularly used to support their technology. The simplest use itis to create electrical power by connecting two hion lines together: a piece of metal placed between two lines will heat up, acting as a resistor.{{book ref\|yumi\|5}} This is commonly used for heating,{{book ref\|yumi\|19}} and can easily be exploited for lighting as well, among other possible applications.{{book ref\|yumi\|5}} Telephones can also utilize hion lines to send signals, though these can be very expensive.{{book ref\|yumi\|14}} Hion viewers are a form of television that manipulates hion lines to produce images.{{book ref\|yumi\|11}} The lines themselves are placed behind a glass surface to prevent unwanted contact, and a knob is used to control the device.{{book ref\|yumi\|11}} These are made up of single continuous lines, one of each ~~colour~~color of hion, which bend and twist in order to recreate images. These lines are thin enough that they are able to reproduce details as fine as eyelashes.{{book ref\|yumi\|25}} One very common application of hion is in various means of transportation. Trains,{{book ref\|yumi\|3}} buses,{{book ref\|yumi\|7}} trolleys,{{book ref\|yumi\|14}} and boats{{book ref\|yumi\|30}} all make use of hion lines. In addition to everyday transportation methods, hion lines can also be used to power spaceships. The ~~spaceship~~[[space bus]] engineered by Nagadan utilizes a mobile hion line which can be extended rapidly in the direction of desired travel.{{book ref\|yumi\|30}} From Komashi, this ship is capable of reaching at least as far as [[UTol]] and the [[Iron Seven Waystation]].{{book ref\|yumi\|30}}{{book ref\|yumi\|part=anotherepilogue}} The characters of ''[[Seasons of Regret]]'' reference a hion blade, though this device may be fictitious.{{book ref\|yumi\|25}} Hijo continued to supply the hion lines after the machine was destroyed, albeit willingly and in exchange for hion viewer dramas.{{book ref\|yumi\|part=anotherepilogue}} == Trivia == * The hion colors were intentionally picked as two of the colors commonly used in printers. It is as of yet unknown what happened to the color yellow.{{wob ref\|15502}}{{wob ref\|16409}} * The two colors are a manifestation of the general Push-Pull theme that can be seen with all Investiture. It is, however, much more pronounced with Virtuosity.{{wob ref\|16165}} ==Notes== {{complete}} {{yumi}} [[es:Hion]]
