I think it is best left up to the individual character. That said, most of the lore points to summoning voidsent and/or dealing with them being a big no no. Like HUGE. Like this is a good way to sow the seeds of your own inevitable destruction. Still, that does not stop the Thaumatuges Guild from dabbling it, and other giant no no areas of spell craft. They just aren't public about it, and there in lies the key.Â
I like to call it "shouting out that you are an assassin in a pub full of strangers" syndrome. Real assassins (or other people that dabble in the unsavory) wouldn't do that. A Black Mage knows they have a stigma against them for what they dabble in. Why invite undue scorn by advertising it? Now, every character is going to answer that question differently, and that is perfectly fine. Just like every character is going to have a different reaction to someone who is dabbling with the voidsent.
I will say, the one thing that annoys me about voidsent use and characters is the ooc (I must stress this, OOC) attitude that such things can be messed with and there will be zero negative effects for doing so. Voidsent are not your friends. They are not your buddies. If they are your only friends and buddies you probably need new friends. This would be the "bad Twilight Caste, no biscuit" take on demon summoning. I tend to think the lore supports this. Yar. ;p
