The Dark Beam is a weapon created by the Luminoth which mimics the dark energy of Dark Aether.

Description

The Dark Beam was originally created as a means to combat the Ing, under the theory that the energy of the Dark Beam would overload Dark creatures, destroying them. However after testing it was discovered that the Dark Beam was quite useless, as it only caused minor damage. Leading the Luminoth to create the Light Beam and Annihilator Beam.

The Dark Beam fires strange energy similar to the native energy of Dark Aether. A globular mass of dark energy is fired, which clings to objects and targets, then dissipates after a short time. Normal shots resemble swirling flattened disks of this dark energy, trailed by a dark streak and globular emanations.

The Dark Beam can cancel the effects of Light Beacons and Light Crystals, this effect is only temporary and can be reversed by using the Light Beam. The Dark Beam can also open Dark Portals and can be used to open purple/black doors.

The Dark Beam has limited ammunition, destroying targets and containers with the Light Beam will give ammuntion for the Dark Beam, and vice versa.
