'''Void''' is one of several known manifestations of the [[Light]], along with [[Arc]] and [[Solar]]. It is related to dark energy and gravitational attraction, and can be wielded by [[Guardians]] to generate black holes, spatial warps, and other distortions of spacetime. It is also one of four classes of [[Elemental damage|elemental damage]] common to all Guardian weapons.

==Overview==
The use of Void Light has deep metaphysical connotations, as well being associated with a number of superstitions; it has been described as "weaponizing the unknown"<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/void?highlight=unknown Void Grimoire]</ref>. It was once considered taboo to use Void powers, as some viewed the Void to be "dark"; however, the Void itself is defined as being absent of Light or Darkness, and Void Light is merely a means to manipulate it.

Void isn't limited to just the usage of Gravity or Dark Matter/Energy, but the interaction of life and death too. This could be best shown with the [[Savathûn's Song (strike)|Savathun's Song Strike]] where [[Wizard]]s ripped the light out of Guardians as Void Shards.<ref>[https://commons.ishtar-collective.net/t/savathuns-song-strike/1439 Savathun's Song Strike Transcript]</ref> Ikora stated that the Void is negation, and Guardians would become the ultimate negators, this would make sense with some of the Guardians abilities such as [[Titan (class)|Titans']] Suppression Grenades and [[Shadowshot]]s which negates the abilities of their enemies.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/talk-to-ikora-23?highlight=negation Talk to Ikora]</ref>
