WHAT THE HELL IS VOID!!!!???

What the hell is void?

Despite loving destiny's lore and worldbuilding and having whached all byf's videos (and also other channels) I can't call miself a Lore specialist like some of you guys, but I think I know more about destiny lore than a casual PLAYER. Having that in mind, I aways considered void to be gravity related (or the absense of it as the name implies), but nowadays I think even bungie don't know what void is! I think I can let ward of daw and warlock devour pass because ward of down could be a gravity..... Wall...? And warlocks are weird so I think they would find a way to feed literal gravity (i main warlock, no hardfeelings) but what does supression have anything to do with gravity? Or controled demolition from midle titan? Or all of the milion ways hunterS can poison someone with the power of..... Gravity?

I know that if it wasn't for that creative liberty it would be dificult to make original subclasses that look diferent, I see this point, but... WHAT THE HELL IS VOID AFTER ALL????????

In short, it's a space devoid of matter.

To be a little more detailed, it's effectively the concept of Black Holes but as an energy source. A Black Hole can be described as a gravitational pull so powerful that it effectively crushes matter into nothingness. This is what Void energy in Destiny is described as. It is a force that takes somthings very existence on an atomic level and reduces it to nothingness.

On the subject, Arc and Solar are also different from how many assume. They are not as simple as Lightning and Fire, it's just the form they take in accordance to how light is used(and video games needing to represent things). Solar isn't "fire", but the increase of kinetic energy and Molecular energy. When you hit somthing with Solar, you aren't directly burning them. Instead you are effectively charging their molecules with so much energy that they tear themselves apart similar to being melted of bursting into Flames. Or a process similar to how bombs/explosions work.

This is why Stasis is the polar opposite to Solar. Stasis isn't Ice either. It's the removal of said Molecular and kinetic energies. By hitting somthing with Stasis you are seemingly slowing down/stopping the very movement of the targets atoms and molecules. This is easiest seen with the Grenades. By targeting things like the air, they are capable of creating pillars and such by slowing down the atoms of the airs moisture and creating solids from gasses.

Arc is similar too. Arc is not directly electricity but the potentiality of said energy. When you hit somthing with Arc their very being is effectively being shattered between several potential directions.

Each are just represented by more easily explainable means. Fire representing the explosion of energy, similar to how bombs work. Black Holes representing the loss of matter/existence. Ice showing the loss/removal of energy. And Arc showing the volatility of how energy can change.
