*According to [[ | *According to the [[Sword Logic]] (also known as "The Killing Logic") the one who kills proves their right to survive over their defeated enemy, and gains power from that act. Upon being Taken the Knight loses the ability to feed their worm and grow that power; instead, all of that goes to the Taker, [[Oryx]], who receives it directly instead of through the hierarchy of ''Thrall > Acolyte > Knight/Wizard > Ascendant Hive > Hive God''. | ||
