The '''Light''', also known as the '''Gardener''' or the '''Sky'''<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#VIII:_Leviathan|VIII: Leviathan]]''</ref> is a [[paracausality|paracausal]] force<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian#Class: Hunter|Hunter]]''</ref> associated with the [[Traveler]]. Its counterpart is the [[Darkness]], which it has been at war with since before the beginning of time.

==Overview==

{{Quote|The Gardener is hard to bother; she is constantly amidst her weeds, kneeling in the tangent dust, gloves covered in a mix of distant soils and metallic saps. She is listening to the music of the insects amidst the flowers, the unguent as it begins to drip from the ferns, the slight scratch of the [[Worm]] beneath, and not to you, and certainly not to your cries for help.|[[Mk. 44 Stand Asides]] Lore Tab}}

==Gameplay==

====Year One====

During Year One of ''[[Destiny]]'', Light was a value present on all level 20 armor of Rare, Legendary, and Exotic rarity. In order to increase a character's level beyond 20, the player had to obtain armor with more and more Light, which would give them a Light level between 21 and 34 depending on the Light value of the gear. The highest attainable Light level in Year One (after the release of the ''[[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]'' expansion) was level 34, which required four armor pieces (one for each armor slot available at the time) with 36 Light each, which came to a total of 144 Light.

====Year Three====

The Light mechanic remained the same as Year Two with the transition to ''[[Rise of Iron]]'', but the limit was raised. Light 300 unlocks the Daily Heroic Story, and Light 320 unlocks the SIVA Crisis Heroic Strikes playlist and the Nightfall. The Raid [[Wrath of the Machine]] will have a recommended Light level of 360 on normal difficulty, and 385 on heroic difficulty. The highest attainable Light level in Year Three was '''425'''.

====Year Four====

Most content in Destiny 2 currently has a recommended Power level of 750, effectively meaning they have no Power requirement. The exceptions are content coming with and following [[Shadowkeep]], such as its campaign, [[Nightmare Hunt|Nightmare Hunts]], the [[Pit of Heresy]], the [[Garden of Salvation]], and the [[Sundial]]. Additionally, Nightfalls can impose a Power handicap through the Five of Swords (purchasable from [[Xur]]), and Ordeals, Nightmare Hunts, and the Sundial all have multiple difficulties, ranging from 750 Power to 980 Power (among other differences).

====Year Five====
