\|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 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}} == Trivia == * The hion ~~colours~~colors were intentionally picked as two of the ~~colours~~colors commonly used in printers. It is as of yet unknown what happened to the ~~colour~~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]]
