The Warp Ray can be interpreted as the symbol of the beginning of the real unification of the Protoss from Aiur with the Dark Templar of Shakuras: its conception was born from the merging of their respective technologies. Pulling power from the Void, it can unleash a beam of energy which the longer is fired, the stronger it gets. The power of the beam is divided in three levels. Only three seconds of firing makes the beam stronger, and another three seconds allows it to reach full tilt. Warp Rays are truly devastating weapons when wielded against enemy structures and resistant opponents, like Battle Cruisers. However, against small units, it wastes much of its damaging capability and can easily be taken out with little to no casualties.
