Void energy is related to dark energy/matter and gravitational attraction, and can be wielded by [[Guardian]]s to generate black holes, spatial warps, touch magnetic fields, draw singularities from the quantum vacuum,<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/savin Savin]</ref> 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>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Osiris]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXio7_g1g0I Void — Osiris's Interpretation]''</ref>
 
As stated by [[Osiris]], Void is the element of cosmic distortion, associated with "the pull of gravity and the promise of entropy"; and shows that "emptiness" is not necessarily "nothingness".

It was once considered taboo for Lightbearers to use Void-based powers, as some viewed the Void to be "dark" and saw Void powers as being similar to the abilities of [[Hive]] [[Wizard]]s;<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Shard of the Traveler (mission)|Shard of the Traveler]]''</ref> however, the Void itself is defined as being empty of Light and Darkness and Void Light is merely a means to manipulate it.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - Item Description: [[Apotheosis Veil#Lore|Apotheosis Veil]]''</ref>

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.

Void [[Absorption Shield]]s are commonly used by Vex [[Minotaur]]s, [[Taken Wizard]]s, [[Splicer Captain]]s, Scorn [[Chieftain]]s and [[Blood Guard Incendior]]s, and are equipped by [[Taken Acolyte]]s, [[Incendior]]s, [[Raider]]s and [[Servitor]]s in higher difficulty activities, such as Legend [[Nightfall]]s. Some rare [[Wizard]]s and [[Captain]]s have Void shields.
