**Amber** is an element in Ninjago which, however, was not given to the Original Master of Amber by the First Spinjitzu Master, as the first master created it by absorbing other Elemental Powers using amber from a magic tree. It is generally associated with the color orange.

## History

Many hundreds or thousands of years ago, a blacksmith from Metalonia envied the Elemental Masters of their powers. At the place where he lived, there was an ancient, crooked tree with a mystical amber ensnaring anything that got too close. He then used his blacksmithing skills to turn amber into the first Chronosteel to absorb fragments of Elemental Powers from their masters. In this way, the blacksmith created the new Elemental Power - Amber.

## Trivia

* Amber has the same powers of Chen's Staff of Elements (Chronosteel and Blue Crystal), only except Skylor replicates elemental powers and Chen's Staff absorbs elemental powers.
* The elemental symbol of Amber is (**六**), which means "six" in Mandarin and Cantonese, hinting on the fact there could be a possibility of her being the sixth ninja.
* Skylor revealed in "Iron & Stone" that her powers had returned, after the status of her powers being unknown since the conclusion of Tournament of Elements.
* It is worth mentioning that Skylor was corrupted and almost killed when she tried to use the power of Destruction. This could be because Skylor was trying too hard, though it is more likely that Amber cannot control elemental essences like Golden Power, Destruction, Creation, Energy, and Darkness as easily as normal elements, which is supported by Tommy Andreasen saying that trying to absorb the power of the First Spinjitzu Master would "probably cause her to explode."
	+ Although, in the Tournament of Elements, she had absorbed all the elemental powers required for the Spell of Transformation, including Lloyd's Energy.
* According to Tommy Andreasen, the element's name was the The Hageman Brothers' idea.
	+ He also stated, "it 'adapts' and 'absorbs' ... and it sounds cool and fits her colors."
* There was to be a story called *Amber Legacy* based on the family line of this power. The story would have introduced Skylor's mother and explained why she wasn't in the Serpentine War, why she married Chen, and what her ultimate fate was. The story's development was halted due to the poor distribution of the *Dark Island Trilogy*.
	+ In *Amber Spiral*, it was revealed that Amber is the third elemental power to not have been controlled nor created by the First Spinjitzu Master it is unknown if First Spinjitzu Master does have real Amber/Absorption Element not the one created by Original Master of Amber.
* According to Tommy Andreasen, the Elemental Master of Amber doesn't have people's powers permanently, they absorb a limited amount that she will then deplete by using it, or the power will fade away in time.
	+ This was clarified in "A Mayor Problem" when Skylor struggled to use Zane's ice powers after a prolonged period of time.
