Destruction

*You may be looking for Darkness, a similar element.*
**Destruction** is an elemental essence in Ninjago. It is the opposite of Creation and is purple in color. It is the power Garmadon inherited from his father, originating from the Oni, who are a race of demons from the Realm of Oni and Dragons.

## Users' Abilities

* **Destruction Inducement** - The user can destroy objects, possibly even objects of great size, (like in the episode "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies," when Garmadon uses Spinjitzu to destroy the objects possessed by Clouse's Dark Magic).
	+ **Hakai-Ergokinesis** - This ability gives the user the power to manipulate destructive energy (like in "A Moonly Takeover," when Garmadon uses this ability in the form of Spinjitzu against Samukai, throwing him backward with a strong force.
		- **Destructive Energy Ball Projection** - The user can shoot balls of purple destructive energy.
		- **Destructive Energy Beam Projection** - As demonstrated by the Omega and the Oni Staffs, they can fire beams of pure Destructive Energy at an opponent.
		- **Destructive Shield Generation** - It allows the user to use their destructive powers as a shield against enemy attacks.
	+ **Disintegration** - The user can disintegrate objects (like Garmadon did in the form of Spinjitzu against the objects possessed by Clouse's Dark Magic in the episode "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies.")
	+ **Dark Strength Enhancement** - Garmadon used this move to enhance his own strength.
	+ **Umbra-Electrokinesis** - The user can create and manipulate a corrupted version of Lightning (only seen once while Garmadon was using it to disturb the Ninjas' sleep in "The Chosen One"). With this ability, the user can presumably shock an adversary, though this is never shown.
	+ **Darkness Tentacles** - Allows the user to create tentacles of darkness. In Season 10, the Oni used this to petrify the citizens of Ninjago.
		- **Petrification** - As demonstrated by the Oni in "The Beginning of the End: The Darkness Comes," users are able to use their Destructive Magic in the form of black clouds to petrify whomever they touch. This ability, however, was ineffective against other Oni and those of Oni descent.
	+ **Elemental creation** - As demonstrated by Mistaké in "Saving Faith," this power allows the user to make weapons (in Mistaké's case staffs) out of pure destructive power.
* **Longevity** - The Oni are extremely long-lived and capable of living a long time just like a dragon. Those of Oni descent are also capable of living a prolonged life, as demonstrated by the First Spinjitzu Master who was half Oni and lived for thousands of years. Mistaké, a full-blooded Oni, lived for even longer. Wu and Garmadon, who are quarter Oni have lived for over a thousand years.
* **Dark Magic** - According to Mistaké in "The Weakest Link," the Oni have Dark Magic, which they can enhance at will. However, we don‘t know, what the Oni can do with their Dark Magic, except the fact that they used it to conjure black clouds to petrify whoever they touch, create and manipulate illusions, shape-shift, and teleport other Oni.
	+ **Teleportation** - As demonstrated by the Omega in "The Ending of the End: The Fall," he teleported some of the Oni to his location.
	+ **Shapeshifting** - As mentioned by Iron Baron, the Oni can shapeshift into anyone. However, it won't protect them when they're in a dragon's presence because they can sense and smell Oni. In "The Ending of the End: Endings" Garmadon used this transformation ability to transform into an Oni and greatly enhance his strength and powers.
* **Combat Empowerment** - As demonstrated by Garmadon in "The Beginning of the End: Into the Breach," he gained power from fighting against the Ninja and said, "it's the fight that fuels me." His powers were enhanced as long as there was a fight going on between him and his opponent, but if the opponent resists, his powers start to weaken.
* **Telekinesis** - Allows the user to control, move, and manipulate objects by using telekinesis. The Overlord used this in "Big Trouble, Little Ninjago and Equestria," when he telekinetically pulled huge chunks of rocks with his Creation, Destruction, and Darkness powers to create the Colossus.
* **Invulnerability (Magma Armor)** - Turns the user's entire body into invulnerable stone and lava.
* **Multiple Arms/Enhanced Swordsmanship/Power Reflection** - Turns the user into a master swordsman with two additional arms and gives them the ability to absorb and deflect other people's powers. It also allows the user to react to attacks and send them at opponents at lightning-fast speeds.
* **Resurrection** - To complete a ritual, it requires a hair from an offspring and three alicorns. The Overlord performed this ritual to bring back Garmadon from the Departed Realm to Ninjago.

## Trivia

* Destruction may be related to other dark elements, such as Shadow and Darkness.
* Golden Power/Creation is stronger than Destruction, as the Oni, the main users of this element, coward before the power held within the Golden Armor.
* Despite the power to shapeshift being similar to the element of form, Destruction is not related to Form in any way.
* It is nearly identical to Darkness. Darkness could be the true form of Destruction like how Golden Power is the true form of Creation.
