{{Quote| | {{Quote|Arc is the element of motion and conduction, and is created when the electromagnetic forces of our universe struggle to achieve balance. According to [[Ikora Rey|Ikora]], Arc teaches us that change is a fundamental aspect of the universe.|[[Osiris]], on Arc}} | ||
{{Quote| | {{Quote|Solar requires us to both exploit and rely on the power of our sun. But to master it is to understand the star's duality. The nuclear force that scorches anything foolish enough to draw near... is the same force we harness to heal.|Osiris, on Solar}} | ||
{{Quote|It | {{Quote|Void is the element of cosmic distortion. It is the pull of gravity and the promise of entropy. The vacuum of space, and the gravitational forces that shape it, teaches us that emptiness is not nothingness.|Osiris, on Void}} | ||
{{Quote|Darkness | {{Quote|Stasis is the element of will and control. It slows, detains, and shatter. It was our first step into Darkness, and taught us the universe is not black and white as it first seemed... Control over self can foster control over others, but without power over the self, destruction runs wild.|Osiris, on Stasis}} | ||
{{Quote| | {{Quote|Strand is our newest foray into Darkness. As I understand it now, it is the elemental manifestation of psychic connection. All minds are connected in a web of consciousness, which we can now see and feel. To wield Strand is to pull on the hidden connecting threads, and to use them to create, manipulate, and unravel.|Osiris, on Strand}} | ||

*It is unclear whether there is necessarily a distinction between the elemental damage done by weapons and the corresponding manifestation of the [[Light]] or [[Darkness]] associated with a given element; for example, a weapon which does Arc damage may not necessarily be imbued with the power of Arc Light, but rather merely fire electrified ammunition. In contrast, some weapons clearly do derive their power from the Light or Darkness, such as [[Salvation's Grip]] (which fires [[Stasis]] projectiles). | *It is unclear whether there is necessarily a distinction between the elemental damage done by weapons and the corresponding manifestation of the [[Light]] or [[Darkness]] associated with a given element; for example, a weapon which does Arc damage may not necessarily be imbued with the power of Arc Light, but rather merely fire electrified ammunition.
