A rather expensive spell, that when cast on a thread disables all ex gains within it. Spellcasters can use it to try to discourage threads they don't like or to saltmine. Rare items may be used to remove the spell and enable ex gains within the thread once more.

The threads pages could have some visual effect in the background to make it more obvious that The Void is active.

interesting considering that the knockback could potentially pay more than the replies would have. strategy and foresight would be necessary

That'd be an interesting way to approach it. I actually completely forgot that knockback ex was a thing.

Still, I think it would be a great spell addition for those that have the ex pool to afford it.
