**Golden Power** (sometimes referred to as **Light**) is an elemental essence in Ninjago. It is the most powerful combination of the four main elements (Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Ice) and is closely tied to Energy and Creation. It is also one of the two strongest powers across the Realms of Creation alongside its malevolent counterpart Darkness. It is generally associated with the color gold. In "The Green Ninja," the potential to wield Golden Power was revealed to reside in Lloyd by the Golden Weapons, marking him as the one to ascend as the Green Ninja.

Lloyd eventually unlocked the full potential of the Golden Power during his first battle with The Overlord, using it to defeat the dark lord and destroy his hold over Ninjago and undo the damage Garmadon inflicted upon the Balance, with Lloyd's gi turning gold. Following his recovery during the Nindroid crisis, the Overlord began planning to steal Lloyd's Golden Power for himself, in order to regain a physical vessel of his own and become the Golden Master in order to destroy the Balance. Lloyd then decides to divide the Golden Power with his fellow ninja, returning to them their respective Elemental Powers.

After the defeat of the Golden Master, no living being wields Golden Power in its purest form anymore. The only currently known existence of Golden Power is in the Golden Armor, which was hidden by Cyrus Borg until it was melted down and turned back into the Golden Weapons. Following the battle with the Oni, the weapons were rendered dormant though they still retained the powers they had always possessed, as power can never truly be lost.

During the climax of the Final prophecy of Quanish the Elder, the Ninja destroyed the reawakened Golden Weapons and sacrifice their powers to unleash the might of the Golden Power to take on the form of the Golden Ultra Dragon in order to defeat the Overlord once more, in order to prevent him from corrupting the four elements of Creation so the Balance would be rendered nonexistent. Due to this, there is now currently no object nor living being that wields Golden Power anymore.

## Users' abilities

* **Nigh-Omnipotence** - The user is virtually omnipotent (unlimited in power, unless part of the power is taken from them, in which they have a limited amount of power left), like when the First Spinjitzu Master used this elemental power to create Ninjago (using the main elements that make it up). Another example is when the Overlord became the Golden Master, he wanted to use this elemental power to destroy all of Ninjago. The user does not need materials around them to create objects using Creation. Unlike Creation, the Golden Power can be used for offensive energy attacks, and its "constructs" are mostly made of energy rather than matter. The user is able to use the five main elements that comprise it (including Energy).
* **Potentikinesis** - The user can manipulate various superpowers and elemental powers.
* **Power Bestowal** - The user can give elemental powers to other people.
* **Power Restoration** - The user is able to restore the power of others.
* **Power Augmentation** - The user can increase their power thousandfold.
* **Power Erasure** - The user can remove an Elemental Master's powers and use it for themselves.
* **Flight** - The user can freely fly in the air.
* **Elementumkinesis** - The user can create, shape, and manipulate the basic elements of nature (Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Ice). Capabilities may include moving, altering, and mixing existing elements. The user has control over four other elements - Fire, Ice, Earth, and Lightning. He can use them as vividly as the specific master of those elements can but has full control over them.
	+ **Pyrokinesis** - The user can create and control fire.
	+ **Geokinesis** - The user can create and control earth.
	+ **Electrokinesis** - The user can create and control electricity.
	+ **Cryokinesis** - The user can create and control ice.
* **Elemental Blasts** - Users of this element can fire blasts of the main four elements with the Golden Power, usually as an offense.
* **Telekinesis** - The user can influence, manipulate, and move objects and matter (because it is comprised of the elements that Golden Power controls) from great distances, usually to attack or defend against an adversary.
* **Ergo-ecokinesis** - The user can manipulate a stronger form of Energy, usually to attack an adversary (the Golden Master can generate powerful beams composed of gold-colored energy).
* **Meta Matter Manipulation** - The user wields a stronger form of Creation (even stronger than the Tornado of Creation), usually to attack or to defend against an adversary.
* **Omnifabrication** - The user can create, reshape, and move objects or matter to create anything they want/need.
* **Materialization** - The user can create organic and inorganic matter from nothing either as finished objects or simply unfinished elements.

* **Life Creation** - The user can create life.
* **Spinjitzu, Airjitsu and Forbidden Spinjitzu** - The user can do Spinjitzu and Airjitzu. Anyone can do Spinjitzu and Airjitzu with immense skill, but the user can do Golden Power Spinjitzu and Airjitzu. It is possible the user can do Forbidden Spinjitzu too.
* **Golden Influence** - The user can send golden waves to weaken enemies.
* **Golden Energy Ball Projection** - The user can shoot golden energy balls.
* **Golden Energy Beam Emission** - The user can shoot a blast/ray of Golden Power/energy from his hand. The user can make a beam of Golden Power with two hands which is a more powerful version of the ray. This move is usually done with two hands as it requires more energy.
* **Golden Explosion** - The user can release golden energy over a target area of their choosing causing great damage or delivering great shock waves of pure force.
* **Golden Shields** - The user can make or encase himself in a Golden Power shield/dome/field.
* **Photokinesis** - The user can manipulate golden-colored light.
	+ **Absolute Light** - The user can create a blanket of absolute light.
* **Healing/Purification** - The user can heal/purify themselves and other people from any injuries and Dark Matter.
* **Powerful Artifact Creation** - The user can create powerful artifacts, like the Realm Crystal.
* **Dimension Travel** - The user can travel to another realm with this power as when the First Spinjitzu Master did to create Ninjago.

## Trivia

* Since the element co-operates with the main elements (Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Ice) of Ninjago, it is possible the element also co-operates with the other elements; in Lloyd's first battle with the Overlord, he was able to alter his appearance and fly in the air, as per the elements Form and Gravity.
* The Master of Energy is supposed to unlock this Element and become the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master (which he did), and stay at that strength until death. But Lloyd lost his Golden Power to the Overlord, and gave the remaining of it (the elemental part of it) to the other ninja, leaving him with just the Element of Energy.
* Since Lloyd gave out the rest of his Golden Power to the ninja, he became somewhat of a "source" of their Elemental Power. This meant that if his power ever got disrupted, their powers would too, as seen in "Winds of Change".
	+ This is no longer true in Season 8, as due to the passage of time and Lloyd's growth, the ninja's powers became more independent from him.
* The Golden Power's draconic manifestation, the Golden Dragon, is far larger than any of the other Elemental Dragons in size. This could relate to the magnitude of the element's power level.
* Though the power was introduced in Legacy of the Green Ninja, the name "Golden Power" was not used until Rebooted.
* Golden Power is similar to the Golden Chi from Legends of Chima, as both can manipulate the user's surroundings and emit similar golden energy.
* In "Enter the Digiverse," the four original ninja briefly experienced Golden Power.
* The Golden Master may have been using a corrupted version of Golden Power, since he was the embodiment of evil (and thus Darkness), but had been resurrected using Golden Power (possibly combining the two).
* Although it is occasionally referred to as "light", it is distinct from actual Light.
* It has not yet been revealed what abilities the Golden Power has.
* In "The Way Back", the ninja break down a door by blasting all of their powers at it at the same time, and the resulting energy explosion resembles Golden Power.
* In *The Book of Elemental Powers*, it stated that Golden Power can "create and destroy" implying that it could be a combination of Creation and Destruction
* As the Golden Master, the Overlord showed more proficiency with the Golden Power than Lloyd.
