**"''A Shredder or a Boomer is a powerful weapon, but it kills acyclically. You see? It sends out harm and it takes nothing back. The bolt passes away into nothing. A sword, though, a sword is like a bridge, a crossing-point. The sword binds wielder to victim. It binds life to death. And when the binding is done—the sword remembers. When the Boomer's fire has burnt away into axion and neutrino scatter, the sword goes on, hungrier and sharper.''"<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#Ascendant_Sword|Ascendant Sword]]''</ref> | **"''A Shredder or a Boomer is a powerful weapon, but it kills acyclically.

*According to [[The Sword Logic]] (also known as "The Killing Logic") the one who kills proves their right to survive over their defeated enemy, and gains power from that act. Upon being Taken the Knight loses the ability to feed their worm and grow that power; instead, all of that goes to the Taker, [[Oryx]], who receives it directly instead of through the hierarchy of ''Thrall > Acolyte > Knight/Wizard > Ascendant Hive > Hive God''. | *According to [[The Sword Logic]] (also known as "The Killing Logic") the one who kills proves their right to survive over their defeated enemy, and gains power from that act.
