Trinity:Voidchild
The concept behind this class is mildly original; mechanics and such are an amalgamation of a few different classes, each of which - in my mind - were a part of the totality of the concept of the voidchild. In particular, the entropomancer is the primary source for the abilities of the voidchild.
Void, as a force, has a rather difficult niche to fill, considering that it lies in the same Trinity as Divine and Nature. In addition, it is rather difficult to ensure that this class is different from the wizard and other similar classes in more ways than simply flavor - though expressing the abilities of something that doesn't really exist is rather difficult. Given these facts, the voidchild class - as it is presented here - is not intended to be a final draft, but a work-in-progress.

Voidchild
The void is among the least understood Forces in Trinity, primarily due to the dangers inherent in its study - the nature of the void goes against the very nature of existence itself. What sort of sane being would study a Force which seeks to destroy the being studying it?
Regardless, there are those drawn to the power of the void. Unlike any other force, the void represents raw, untarnished power. Magic requires messy components and ancient tomes; time requires subtle manipulations and has far too many laws restricting it. The void, on the other hand, is exactly what you want it to be - the Void can be used to replicate the powers of any of the other forces, given that it itself is shapeless and without form. But such power comes at a price.
Voidchildren are not commonly accepted among the commonfolk, as they are acknowledged as among the most dangerous Force-users in exitence. A voidchild that is in her prime is capable of not merely summong nonexistence, but becoming nonexistence herself. As such, most voidchildren who are discovered are either killed outright or run out of wherever they find themselves.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the voidchild.
Weapons and Armor Proficiency: Voidchildren are proficient with simple weapons and light armor, but not shields.
Nihils (Vo): The reward of studying the void are nihils, mental exercises that are extremely difficult to master. But emptying her mind in some manner, the voidchild is able to produce an astounding effect.
A voidchild does not need to prepare her nihils; after resting, a voidchild's allotment of nihils/day is restored. Once a voidchild gains access to a given level of nihils, she automatically has access to all nihils of that level. A voidchild may freely use any nihil she knows until her allotment of nihils of that particular level is exhausted.
A voidchild gains bonus nihils/day based upon Charisma. All of the saving throw DCs against the nihils of a voidchild are based on the voidchild's Charisma.
The list below is a complete list of nihils, though it is by no means complete in terms of effects.
