Crystal Elements

"Don't say that, you bastard!"

The **Crystal Elements** (Japanese: **クリスタルエレメント**) are several supernatural gems kept in the Crystal Empire that are lent to the Magis to wield when necessary. Each gem changes color depending on the current person(s) it is connected to, although if there are multiple wielders of a gem, the gem will remain in its original shape instead of incorporate the motifs of the wielders. Each one only activates if the wielder possesses the correct personality trait and only if all of them are used together. They are destroyed in Katy's saga, but luckily are recreated in the Law of Cycles retcon.

For their original counterparts, see Elements of Harmony.

## History

A long time ago, the first Princess of a distant kingdom north of what would become Equestria planted a magic crystal seed in a cave under the empire. Nowadays, this princess is known under many nicknames such as the creator of the Crystal Heart or the first Princess of the Crystal Empire but her real name is, and will remain, Kingsley. This magical seed created the Crystal Tree, giving Crystal Elements that had the power to defend the Crystal Heart from the enemies of the frozen north. These Elements were carried by a group of friends, whose leader was Princess Amore, the daughter of Princess Kingsley.

When Amore was little, she didn't have many friends and ignored the existence of the Crystal Elements. On her first day of public school, she met a young filly named Lilas. She was friendly, very serious, very frank, and adored her homeland. That is why she did not hesitate to go and see the princess and introduce her group of friends. After that day, Amore and Lilas were inseparable and the best of friends. Eventually, Amore decided to make Lilas her lady of honor. When Amore was 16 years old, her mother revealed to her the Crystal Elements and that she and her friends had been chosen by the Crystal Heart to use them, with Amore accepting her mission bravely. Her friends and she had a duty to protect the empire, a duty they performed very well.

Everything changes the day the umbrum attacked the Empire. Amore was so focused on her boyfriend that she forgot some of the magic of the Elements. Indeed, Amore had always believed that the Crystal Elements uses only the magic of love and not its friendship. Despite this fiasco, the Crystal Heart managed to save them, enclosing the umbra in a crystal. However, the 7 friends later had an argument that was so violent that they all wanted to forget each other. Amore, heartbroken by the loss of her friends, decided to break the Elements, thinking that only love was important. She never had any friends and nocreature ever heard of the Crystal Elements again.
