Hion lines can be found in a variety of sizes, ranging from wire-thin to at least the thickness of a wrist.{{book ref|yumi|1}} They originate from the ground, where they are called "hion stubs",{{book ref|yumi|39}} but from there hion lines extend into the air, branching out, and hang unsupported. Their coloring can be described in many ways, but in general they are said to be electric, energetic shades of cyan and magenta. They hum very quietly, and are motionless.{{book ref|yumi|1}} Touching a hion line gives an overwhelming, electrifying sensation.{{book ref|yumi|9}}

Hion is powered by the spirits, or hijo, on Komashi. For much of Komashi's history, this is directed by the [[father machine]], though hijo are capable of supplying hion directly and of their own will.{{book ref|yumi|part=anotherepilogue}}

 

 

In [[Nagadan]], hion lines are regularly used to support their technology. The simplest use is 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}}

The characters of ''[[Seasons of Regret]]'' reference a hion blade, though this device may be fictitious.{{book ref|yumi|25}}

 

 

Scholars from the [[Institute of Mechanical Solutions]] first discovered the concept of hion and built a machine that could utilize the hijo to provide power to [[Torio]]. Despite the catastrophic, unforeseen consequences that followed the machine's activation, the device did fulfill its original purpose of providing hion. It generated hion stubs, emerging from the ground around the kingdom of Torio.{{book ref|yumi|39}} These began as bright lights emerging from the ground,{{book ref|yumi|24}} and were the only places plants could grow within the shroud.{{book ref|yumi|24}} Humans settled at these locations and learned to cultivate the hion lines, extending them and branching them out.{{book ref|yumi|21}} Due to the way hion was able to repel the shroud, these hion lines ultimately became the foundational aspect of infrastructure on Komashi, and in the seventeen centuries that followed they developed hion technology extensively.{{book ref|yumi|24}}{{book ref|yumi|32}}

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}}

 

* 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}}
