Itzal swung the pen twice, creating a small pit in the middle of the room.
"Is there anything to this?"
"Wonderful. See, I was thinking... When we got here, before anything was drawn, there was a floor to stand on. Drawing things creates anything. That pit, for instance, only exists because of the two lines. That's all there is. So...
Whit drew out his Whiteout and smoothly covered the two lines.
"Where's the pit now? It's gone. There is no hole. It's back to being solid ground again. So... What happens to things that are in the pit when the pit vanishes? The ground would reappear where the things are. What happens when things exist in the same place as the ground? My bet... Is that it's completely erased, overlapped by the ground. Either that, or completely buried under it. "
Whit turned back to Itzal.
"So, that's all I can think of..."
It was true- he couldn't think of anything else, a better emtbod of absolutly erasing something... Or someone.
