Light

"Light can do a lot of things. It can illuminate. It can welcome. It can warm. As it turns out, it can also make laser beams that slice through protosteel."

- Toa Takanuva, Takanuva's Blog

Light was an element that allowed the user to augment their abilities with the properties of light or create light-based objects, as well as manipulation of light. It was associated with good due to its great power against the Makuta.

Examples

 * Creating light.
 * Generating lasers.
 * Creating solid or non-solid illusions.
 * Acting as a source of light.

Combinations
Beings other than Toa cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis cage. As long as each wielded a different element and Light and Shadow were not included at the same time, any six Toa could create a Protodermis cage.

Trivia

 * Light was very powerful against Shadow and vice versa.
 * Matoran, Toa and Turaga of Light can be male or female. This makes Light the only natural Element in the Matoran Universe to contain both genders.
 * To show the difference of the power levels of a Toa, Matoran, and Turaga of Light, Greg Farshtey said that if a Toa of Light were a sun, a Turaga would be a 100 watt bulb and a Matoran would be a lantern.
