*It is unclear whether there is necessarily a distinction between the elemental damage done by weapons and the corresponding manifestation of the [[Light]] or [[Darkness]] associated with a given element; for example, a weapon which does Arc damage may not necessarily be imbued with the power of Arc Light, but rather merely fire electrified ammunition. In contrast, some weapons clearly do derive their power from the Light or Darkness, such as [[Salvation's Grip]] (which fires [[Stasis]] projectiles). | *It is unclear whether there is necessarily a distinction between the elemental damage done by weapons and the corresponding manifestation of the [[Light]] or [[Darkness]] associated with a given element; for example, a weapon which does Arc damage may not necessarily be imbued with the power of Arc Light, but rather merely fire electrified ammunition.
