Lore to fit this in MTG: "When the Eldrazi were once again imprisoned by the hedrons and sent away from the realms, they left a powerful force. They knew about it, but couldn't find a way to get use of it....until now. Mirs, one of the Dimir mad scientists, has made a successful experiment on fusing himself with this "void" energy, becoming a being of pure (un)matter, harnessing this energy at his will. However, as more people began using this "mana", more mysterious creatures resembling the long gone Eldrazi have appeared on each realm, each worst than the last. But even worse, people also began abusing this power for evil, thus, another fight for this mysterious energy has began."
Notes:
1. The Eldritch ability can be on any card type.
2. Eldritch (You can only use mana produced from Eldritch spells or permanents to cast this spell.)
3. The mana symbol for mana produced from Eldritch cards is the colorless mana symbol but colored purple.
4. The purple colorless mana (or Void mana) is still colorless; think of it as the same old colorless mana but restricted to some archetype.
5. V will represent this void mana.
6. All cards with Eldritch are colorless. (Yes, like Devoid)
7. You CANNOT use the mana to pay for colorless mana costs unless that card has Eldritch, and vice versa.
Example Cards:
Dimension Crack
Land
Eldritch T, Pay 1 Life: Add 1 to your mana pool.
Corrupted Tetrahedron 5
Artifact Creature
Eldritch T: Add 3 to your mana pool.
"When they were exposed to the energy, they became horrific monsters."

Flying, Trample, Hexproof

Whenever you cast a spell with Eldritch, you may search your library for a card with Eldritch with converted mana cost less than the spell you cast, reveal it, and put it in your hand.
12/12
Any suggestions or criticism are accepted. Though please remember this was just a knack-off idea from the cancelled purple color.
While a new type of mana isn't inherently bad it has a lot of justification to do and you have done little to none here. Void cards don't seem particularly worth running if void was a normal color as opposed to a super difficult to get color.
As for your bit of lore
"Mirs, one of the Dimir mad scientists, has made a successful experiment on fusing himself with this "void" energy, becoming a being of pure matter, "
A being of pure matter as opposed to the vast empty space most current matter is made of? Or is it supposed to not contain energy? Which is even more confusing.
Yes, yes! I have been wanting to see people capitalize on purple connected to Colorless and the Eldrazi. The Blind Eternities are a parallel plane, where Purple could exist. For a symbol, you could use the colorless symbol but recolor it purple.

Please don't. WotC's choice to do the same treatment for the Phyrexian mana symbols is only bested by their atrocious Eight Edition artifact frame color choice.
