Take

Take is an ability of the Darkness wielded only by Oryx and Quria. The process of Taking has been described by some as the Darkness ripping the individual out of this realm and transports them to an unknown location within the Ascendant Plane. And returning them to their original universe with with new paracausal abilities and a compulsion to serve the one that Took them. The Vex originally created the Blade Mind with the objective of conquering Oryx's throne world and to unravel the secrets that governed it by gaining an understanding of the Sword Logic. Quria was unsuccessful in its campaigns against Oryx and was Taken, but notably retained its will. The Mind was later gifted by the Taken King to his sister, Savathûn, the Witch-Queen. Following Oryx's death, Quria served as the Taken commander for Savathun after mastering the ability to Take through its simulations of Oryx. When the Guardian came into contact with Toland in the Ascendant Plane, he explained that the Curse was a prototype to something far more cunning and mentioned that Quria was the key. Its paracasual state of being Taken allowed it to fully simulate the Taken King to command the Taken and to Take, but Toland noted that the Mind did not have the power itself. Quria's ability to Take differed to the King who was able to transform beings at will, whilst the new Taken army were previously observed to have been transformed through the overexposure of Blights.
