Heart of Kandrakar

The Heart of Kandrakar and commonly referred to as either **the Heart** or **the Crystal** is a magical pendant and also a Heart of a World.

It is bestowed to the leader of the Guardians, and enables them to transform into their superhero alter egos by channelling the elemental energies of the Aurameres into them which also enhances their powers.

## Appearance

It is necklace of sorts with a pink orb like crystal that often glows even when not in use.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

When it was first introduced, the Guardians were told that the Heart possessed two powers.

The ability to channel the power of the Aurameres into them – enhancing their elemental abilities, transforming them back into their normal selves, and allowing them to transform into their alter egos – and the ability to close holes in the Veil.

However further powers are either revealed, or added to the Heart, as the series progresses.

Early the Heart is shown to have an unusually strong and close telepathic bond with whomever it is bestowed upon, allowing the Heart to track the holder, or the holder to track it, if they are separated from each other.

The Heart can be used in conjunction with an enchanted section of the Map of portals, once part of a much larger map, located in Phobos's castle, to find portals in the Veil.

The Heart is also the key to go to the ethereal realm of Kandrakar itself.

The Heart possesses the ability to display images of people and items at their present state and location, even though other realms such as Meridian, and the Guardians use this power a number of times.

The Heart has the power to create Astral Drops; physical duplicates of the people who summon them, but with limited personalities.

It is also revealed that the Heart of Kandrakar can force a beast in disguise to reveal their true form upon contact with them.

Later, in the battle for the Aurameres and later for Zamballa, the Heart emitted a beam of light that revealed the true forms of Nerissa and her minions when it shone on them.

According to Prince Phobos, with the Heart's power, his powers, abilities, and strength would be greatly heightened and amplified to innumerable levels.

The Heart was automatically merged with the Seal of Phobos, a mystical rhombus-shaped gold-colored item that is said to be a universal key.

This also proves that the Heart has the ability to absorb or merge with magical items.

After the merging, the Heart gained the ability to open portals in the Veil, not only close them.

The Heart lost this power as the Veil was lowered.

Zoey used the Heart's ability to create multiple copies of the crystal pendant to deceive others from the original one.

However, these duplicates were completely ordinary and possessed no mystical or supernatural abilities whatsoever.

The Heart retains a shadow of the spirit of each of its former holders, allowing Will to ask it for advice.

It also is capable of transporting its user to anywhere desired, even if its user does not know the precise location of the desired destination.

It can also create an image of anyone the Keeper desires it to, like an Astral Drop, which can talk, feel and think.

The Heart also shows a number of other, less specific abilities, including the ability to let of a flash of energy that can blind or disorient an enemy and free the user when they is imprisoned or trapped, and a limited ability to act on its own when the Guardians are in danger.

The Heart has only acted on its own twice, and that was when Phobos sent a giant bug-like creature to kill Elyon's adopted parents.

It shot a ray of light at the creature, shrinking it down to the size of a normal bug, revealing another one of its abilities.

The second time was when Cornelia sneaked into Elyon's palace to pay her a visit, as she believed there was still good within her, and stole the Heart from Zoey, for reasons unknown, though perhaps she believed it could somehow help her, even though she was not a Keeper of the Heart.

Elyon, her mind still clouded by Cedric's lies at the time, imprisoned Cornelia in a bubble, but the bubble was shattered by the Heart, which suddenly activated without warning and freed Cornelia.

The Heart is able to protect its Keeper from dark forces, like the time it shielded Zoey from the dark magic of Phobos's poisonous Black Roses, but was not able to keep her from falling into a deep sleep.

The Heart of Kandrakar was also used to break the deadly spell of Phobos on the Crown of Light, a crown of the rightful ruler of Meridian to help the rightful heir to achieve her full powers.

The Mage used the Heart of Kandrakar to create the Star of Threbe to find the missing Weira.

Nerissa, armed with the Heart of Kandrakar, was able to penetrate the powerful magical defenses of Kandrakar, withstand the combined assaults of the Oracle and the Congregation, rival the Oracle's power, and would have conquered Kandrakar had the Guardians had not intervened, showing the Heart's great power.

Nerissa also caused the Heart to explode, thus creating some black goo that nearly consumed all of Kandrakar, the Oracle, the Congregation, the Guardians and Caleb.

Nerissa also claimed that possession of the Heart of Kandrakar would make her Queen of the Elements, and managed to even deflect the formidable elemental attacks the Congregation of Kandrakar bombarded her with.

Zoey used the Heart of Kandrakar to seal a binding oath Prince Phobos made for getting the Seal of Nerissa back to the Guardians and not using its immense power for himself in exchange for his freedom.

Zoey screamed, *"Save him!"* when Matt fell from a roller-coaster when the two are under attack from Cedric, and the Heart of Kandrakar emitted a beam of light that formed a sphere that protected Matt.

Matt also sacrifices himself to save Will from Cedric's deadly attack, which rekindled the Heart's magic, because love is the most powerful magic of all.

The Heart of Kandrakar was given the power of regeneration by the nymph Xin Jing, which is the reason why Yan Lin managed to serve Kandrakar for so long, and the Guardians' continual transformations do not exhaust them, as the power of regeneration ensures a balance between the body and the mind.

Every time one of the Guardians touch the Heart, they become stronger.

The power of regeneration even cured Taranee's blurry eyesight, even though she's not a guardian.
