Lore

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

When I was a New Light, our trainers made us meditate for hours on end. Sitting in silence, focusing on a single point: a candle, a mirror, the Traveler in the distance.

I thought we were focusing our Light to manipulate the physical word. But now, centuries later, I finally see what they were trying to teach us. The point is not the Light. The point is THE POINT.

The singularity through which all power flows. Darkness and Light becoming one in an endless cycle, like electrons bouncing between anode and cathode. A prismatic circuit.

Abilities

Super

• Nova Bomb - Cataclysm: Hurl an explosive bolt of Void Light at a target, disintegrating those caught within its blast. Nova Bomb travels slowly and seeks targets. Detonation shatter into smaller seeker projectiles.
• Song of Flame: Unleash your inner fire, making your equipped weapons radiant and enhancing your abilities. While Song of Flame is active, you and nearby allies regenerate abilities more quickly, are more resistant to incoming damage, and your Solar and Kinetic weapons scorch targets.
  • Melee: Release a supercharged melee attack that launches additional projectiles.
  • Grenade: Create a sentient flame wisp that seeks out targets and detonates in a scorching explosion, then seeks out other nearby targets.
• Stormtrance: Chain Lightning from your hands to electrify targets with devastating streams of Arc Light that intensify over time. Casting Stormtrance creates a jolting shockwave underneath you. Press (movement toggle) Teleport forward, consuming a small amount of Super energy.
• Winter's Wrath: Summon a powerful Stasis staff. While your super is active:
  • Shoot: Fire Stasis projectiles that freeze targets upon impact.
  • Melee: Unleash a powerful shockwave that shatters nearby frozen targets.
• Needlestorm: Conjure a hail of deadly woven needles. After embedding themselves in the environment, the needles will re-weave into a host of Threadlings. Threadlings you create will return to you and perch if they can't find any nearby targets. Damaging targets with your weapons or melee will send out perched Threadlings to attack.

Utility Abilities

• Transcendence: Achieve harmony by dealing damage with Light and Dark damage types in equal measure or by applying subclass buffs to your allies. Kinetic damage generates both Light and Dark energy. While Transcendence is active, your grenade is replaced by a unique Prismatic grenade that deals both Light and Dark damage. Dealing melee damage while transcendent greatly increases your grenade energy regeneration, and vice versa. Defeating targets while transcendent extends its duration.
• Freezing Singularity: Throw a device charged with Stasis matter and Solar energy that attaches to surfaces or targets, then erupts into a slowing storm. After a short duration, the device ignites, creating a deadly scorching cyclone.

• Healing Grenade: A grenade that cures allies on impact and creates Orb of benevolent Solar Light granting restoration to allies when picked up.
• Storm Grenade: A grenade that calls down a focused lightning storm.
• Coldsnap Grenade: A grenade that freezes on impact and sends another seeker to find and freeze targets.
• Threadling Grenade: A woven projectile that reweaves itself into Threadlings while in flight.

Melee

• Pocket Singularity: Launch an unstable ball of Void energy that detonates when it nears an enemy, pushing targets away from the blast and making them Volatile.
• Incinerator Snap: Snap your fingers to create a fan of burning sparks that explode and scorch targets.
• Chain Lightning: An extended range melee that jolts your target and chains lightning to nearby enemies. While amplified, it creates and additional set of chains.
• Penumbral Blast: Raise your Stasis staff against your foe. Send a blast of Stasis forward to freeze your targets
