'''Void''' is one of several known manifestations of the [[Light]], along with [[Arc]] and [[Solar]]. It is associated with gravity and the distortion of spacetime, and allows its wielders to generate black holes, gravity waves and other spacetime-warping effects. It is also a class of [[Elemental damage|elemental damage]].

Void energy is related to dark energy/matter and gravitational attraction, and can be wielded by [[Guardian]]s to generate black holes, spatial warps, and other distortions of spacetime.

According to [[Osiris]], Void is the element of cosmic distortion; the pull of gravity and the promise of entropy. That the vacuum of space and the gravitational forces that shape it show that emptiness is not nothingness. According to [[Ikora]], to use Void is to draw power from both the immeasurably small and the unfathomably massive, and with it bend the very fabric of space-time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UKeMo3UerU&ab_channel=SILENTSIX| Osiris explains the elements]</ref>

[[Defender]] [[Titan (class)|Titans]] use Void Light to create an indestructible dome of Light known as [[Ward of Dawn]].

In [[Destiny 2]], Defender Titans were renamed to [[Sentinel]] Titans, keeping the ability to summon a Ward of Dawn, while also gaining the ability to condense the Void Light into a small, hand-held, throwable shield known as a [[Sentinel Shield]]. Titans can also launch the [[Twilight Arsenal]], in which they leap up into the air and throw three massive Void Axes that, upon impact, suck in nearby foes and detonate, damaging them. The Axes can then be picked up by the Titan or their allies to wield as a melee weapon.

[[Nightstalker]] [[Hunter (class)|Hunters]] manifest Void Light to create a bow of Void energy known as a Dusk Bow; to shoot [[Shadowshot]] arrows that tether enemies to the point of impact, making them slower and weakening them to damage. As of ''Destiny 2'', Nightstalker Hunters also gain the ability to summon dual blades made from Void Light known as [[Spectral Blades]] and cloak themselves in invisibility.

[[Voidwalker]] [[Warlock]]s use Void Light to hurl out a dying star known as [[Nova Bomb]]. In ''Destiny 2'', they can instead channel the Void Light through themselves and choose to cast [[Nova Warp]] instead, a close-range super that consecutively condenses Void Light into an explosive blast that damages surrounding enemies.
