- “A gift that speaks across generations...a gift that empowers you with the spirit of the past, strengthening you with the wisdom of the ages.”
- —Ignitus, The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
Spirit Gems are a type of gem cluster that only appeared in The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning that give out red (Health), green (Mana), blue (experience points) and purple gems (fury energy). They are found repeatedly throughout the game.
Story
In The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, Spyro first encountered a Spirit Gem within the old confines of the Dragon Temple. After smashing the gem, the young dragon remarked that he felt like he "had to hit it," and when he did, "the power of a thousand suns surged through [his] body," much to the bafflement of Sparx. Ignitus later explained that the Spirit Gems were a gift from the ancestors.
In The Eternal Night, the Chronicler told Spyro how Malefor taught the Apes to artificially harness the power of the Spirit Gems for their evil purposes. Not only were the Spirit Gems a gift from the ancestors, but they serve as the Dragons' lifeforce.
