Which of the Hadium Blades is the closest to Willbreaker

Good morning, afternoon, and Good night, my new friends. This is my first "Theory" post, and to make it a good one, I wish to talk about the relation between Willbreaker, sword of Oryx, and Darkdrinker, the Reforged Hadium blade. Now, from the grimore card for Darkdrinker, it firstly tells you this: [quote]Let me tell you why you should not fear Willbreaker, the sword of Oryx.[/quote] Now, why would one need to fear, or not fear, something that no longer exists, for in the mission "Regicide", we saw Oryx use the remaining power he bestowed within the blade to "Take" himself, or transport to his Throne world. Well, we reforged the blades, being Raze-Lighter, Bolt-Caster and Darkdrinker from it's remains, leaving a residue of the original Willbreaker in our own Hadium-forged Destroyers of Aksis. But that applies to all blades, and that would make them all equals, yes? Until you read a little more into the grimore: [quote]Each death it trades for life hones its edge, gives it weight and gravitas and insistence within the vortex of its own totality.[/quote] Now, the first part does not ring any bells for me, but the last part sets off Alarms. We've seen that in the Regicide mission, Oryx uses his sword to burn the air around us, creating a "Vortex" of sorts. Darkdrinker also creates Vortexes, as does Boltcaster. This next part also eliminates Raze from the list of the true Willbreaker: [quote]Willbreaker demands a subjugation more diffuse than the simple snick and smash of a physical brink. It does not have to touch you to wound you.[/quote] Now, what doesn't need to touch you to hurt you? Boltcaster, sending out a spinning arc Vortex. However, neither does Darkdrinker, you only spin the blade around you once, then Void energy crackles and recreates the spin. Raze-Lighter needs to hit you to do damage, the Solar energy is just a part of the Sword, not an extension. Lastly, the elements. Oryx came from Darkness, (S)he is the closest thing to Darkness we have. What else is energy harnessed from Darkness? Void. We have taken energy from other sources without truly understanding it, like the Pocket Infinity and Vex Mythoclast, the Necrochasm does this too. And it was said that in a Warlock Grimore that: [quote]We have found new ways to weaponize curiosity. Pathways into the darkness.[/quote] And this most likely relates to Voidwalkers, users of the Void energy. If this is what they do to use their power, becoming paths for the Darkness to enter and to be excreted as Void, then this must be the same case with Darkdrinker, thus making it: -A descendent of Willbreaker, -A Vortex-Creating Weapon, -A weapon that does not require physical touch to harm, -And a weapon that draws upon the Darkness. Thanks for having me, and thanks to Bapao for giving me the idea and helping with the Warlock "Gateway" part. Edit: Thanks for the support, for it seems that I need to fix my eyesight and rework the title. I realise now that all the swords contain elements of Willbreaker, but I believe that Darkdrinker has most of the qualities of the original sword. Edit 2: Now, the name Darkdrinker leads me to believe that it takes the Void Energy, or darkness, from others and everything around it. This could relate to it being part of the Sword logic, whereas the others do not really show any semblance to it. Dreadfang, whilst it actually is taken and is the apparent peak of Sword Logic, this weapon is but an imitation of Willbreaker, not a recreation. Raze-Lighter represents the physicality of Willbreaker, the raw power and strength of the blade. Boltcaster represents the range of the Willbreaker, the driving force of fear that does not need physical touch to harm, and keeps the Air-Burning technique. Darkdrinker represents the Sword Logic and Darkness of Willbreaker, using the Darkness as an extension of itself and drinking it. It continues, in this sense, to use Oryx's ability to drain light, or drink it. This is just speculation, but it seems to be pretty worthy, and I thank you gor the feedback.
