{{Quote|Arc is the element of motion and conduction, and is created when the electromagnetic forces of our universe struggle to achieve balance. According to [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]], Arc teaches us that change is a fundamental aspect of the universe.|[[Osiris]], on Arc}}
{{Quote|A spark can give life...or take it.|Grimoire Arc text.}}
{{Quote|Solar requires us to both exploit and rely on the power of our sun. But to master it is to understand the star's duality. The nuclear force that scorches anything foolish enough to draw near... is the same force we harness to heal.|Osiris, on Solar}}
{{Quote|Sometimes the only answer is to burn it all away.|Grimoire Solar text.}}
{{Quote|Void is the element of cosmic distortion. It is the pull of gravity and the promise of entropy. The vacuum of space, and the gravitational forces that shape it, teaches us that emptiness is not nothingness.|Osiris, on Void}}
{{Quote|It's fitting, then, that we have weaponized the unknown.|Grimoire Void text.}}
{{Quote|Stasis is the element of will and control. It slows, detains, and shatters. It was our first step into Darkness, and taught us the universe is not black and white as it first seemed... Control over self can foster control over others, but without power over the self, destruction runs wild.|Osiris, on Stasis}}
{{Quote|Darkness resides within, beckoning you. This is a truth we cannot hide from, so we must embrace it.|[[The Stranger]]}}
{{Quote|Strand is our newest foray into Darkness. As I understand it now, it is the elemental manifestation of psychic connection. All minds are connected in a web of consciousness, which we can now see and feel. To wield Strand is to pull on the hidden connecting threads, and to use them to create, manipulate, and unravel.|Osiris, on Strand}}
{{Quote|Reach into the Darkness and pluck at the threads of consciousness.|Bungie Lightfall page.}}

==Weapons==
Weapons can be infused with elemental damage; by default, most weapons only do kinetic damage, but some may come with modifiers. The modifier is indicated not only on the weapon's stats but also in the weapon menu on the HUD. At the [[common]] level, only [[Fusion Rifle]]s deal elemental damage, but at higher levels nearly all special and heavy weapons deal elemental damage. In [[Destiny]], only a handful of primary weapons deal elemental damage, and most of those weapons are typically acquired in [[Raid]]s.

The damage type on most weapons is random, though some weapons such as [[Exotic]]s or [[Legendary]] Raid weapons have a set damage type.

In [[Destiny 2]], all Energy slot weapons do Arc, Solar or Void damage, Kinetic slot weapons do Kinetic, Stasis, or Strand damage and Power weapons do all damage types except Kinetic. The perk Osmosis on a kinetic weapon turns weapon damage into the same as your subclass when a grenade is used, until the weapon is swapped.
