The Light, otherwise simply referred to as "magic,"[1] is a type of force[2] that stems from the Traveler.[3] All living things possess some Light, as the spark of life is Light in itself.[4] Ulan-Tan hypothesized that all Light is connected, later confirmed when Guardians discovered the Hive siphoning light from the Traveler through a piece of itself.[5] The Light is antipathic to the Hive, though they are known to feed on it and offer it as a sacrifice to their gods.[6]

Guardians are the rare few able to wield the Light as a weapon.[7] Additionally, born from the Traveler itself, the Light was used to construct the Ghosts.[8] Orbs of Light may also be found, which give power to a Guardian's Super, their ultimate use of the Light.[9] Light, as used by the Guardians, comes in three different varieties; these are the elemental damage modifiers, and are used in both a guardian's chosen subclass and in certain weapons.
