Light

The Light, otherwise simply referred to as "magic," is a type of force that stems from the Traveler. Guardians are the rare few able to wield it, and use the Light as a weapon. Additionally, combined with machinery, the Light was used to construct the Ghosts. Orbs of Light may also be found, which give power to a Guardian's Super, their ultimate use of the Light. The Light is antipathic to the Hive.

Light, as used by the Guardians, comes in three different varieties - Solar Light, which does fire damage and is red in color, Arc Light, which is electrified and is blue in color, and Void Light, which is purple in color. A Guardian's chosen subclass may focus on attacks using one of these lights; Striker, for example, has primarily Arc Light abilities, while Voidwalker has primarily Void Light abilities. Weapons can also be infused with one of these three lights as well. Different enemies are weak against different types of light; for example, a Captain with a blue shield is weak against Arc Light attacks, while a Wizard with a red shield is weak against Solar Light attacks.
