Unrelated Oryx Lore and Musings (Destiny)

In the book of sorrows it is mentioned that Oryx and the hive don't actually know how their power works, they access it through ritual and prayer as indicated by the worms, who then perform the real science. So most of their power is interpolated through worship of the worms. That is why Quria Blade Transform (which reminds me of Fourier Transforms) initiates the same thing, it realizes that the worms would give the same effect to anything that performs the same ritual.

So Oryx is pissed that 1. You killed his son permanently, and that you have put his own existence in jeopardy. His whole justification is that he is the master of shapes, the third queen, that his right to exist as a genocidal maniac is strength. That a mere weak guardian, or squad of them, could threaten him also threatens to undermine the very idea of his existence.

Thus his two sisters could not resurrect him as he did for them, since defeating him defeats the idea of hiim as well.
