The power to Take is derived from the Darkness, and allows one to move objects or individuals between different planes of reality. The Witness can use this power on a massive scale, moving entire planets out of the "normal" universe and into a self-contained reality under its complete control. On several occasions, it has granted a more limited version of this power to several of its servants, most notably Oryx, the Taken King, who used it with great dexterity to create his own personal army of Taken from members of various species he and his Hive had defeated. Other users have relied on their position in the hierarchy of the Darkness to control and Take. Savathûn made use of Quria, a partially Taken [[Vex]] [[Axis Mind|Mind]] which was gifted to her by her brother, and had learned how to stimulate him. Xivu Arath relies on complex, lengthy rituals, sometimes using remnants of Oryx's power, to create new Taken, though most of hers are believed to come from the Witness directly. The Disciples have not been said to create new Taken, and use them more like garrisons for their fortresses.

The process of Taking involves summoning a portal or aperture that rips an individual out of the universe and transports them to the [[Ascendant Plane]]<ref>[[Destiny 2]] adventure: [[Unexpected Guests]]</ref>. There, the victim is spoken to by an unknown interlocutor, presumably either the Witness or the Darkness itself, who offers them a way to overcome their former weaknesses. The Taken being then returns to their original universe with new paracausal abilities and a compulsion to serve the one that Took them.<ref name="Taken"/> Other, less immediate methods of Taking involve the use of [[Blight]]s. Taking has also been used as a form of necromancy, resurrecting [[Drevis, Wolf Baroness|long]] [[Urzok, the Hated|dead]] [[Valus Ta'aurc|creatures]] [[Val Ca'uor|in service]] of the Darkness.
