Crystals

For just about every mechanical device in the Storm Hawks universe, a crystal of one type or another is required to power it. Where weapons are concerned, crystals come in a wide variety of forms, each providing different effects. All crystals begin as raw stone, but are refined into usable forms.

Blazer Crystal — Gives weapons fire properties.
Blizzard Crystal — When used with weapons, creates streams of ice which the user can control.
Blocking Crystal — Temporarily suspends the effects of other crystals.
Chroma Crystal — Can change hair and clothes until contact is lost.
Cloaking Crystal — Causes invisibility or disguises as long as crystal is intact.
Cloning Crystal — A rare artifact that creates clones of its holder when exposed to sunlight. The clones produced by this crystal are linked, and feel one another's pain simultaneously. With each use the crystal deteriorates, until it eventually shatters. Its clones are erased by exposure to energy from Lunar Crystals, as moonlight is on the opposite frequency of sunlight.
Cooking Crystal — Used for food cooking or as a makeshift explosive in large quantities.
Drizzle Crystal — Creates clouds in open air or gallons of water in confined spaces.
Engine Crystal — Generic crystals used to power carriers and skimmers.
Energizer Crystal — Increases the power of any crystal it touches.
Enhancer Stone — Special stones designed by Master Cyclonis to enhance the user's abilities and weapons by a factor of a hundred.
Eruption Crystal — Causes objects to explode.
Firebolt Crystal — Firebolt crystals are the Cyclonian equivalent to striker crystals, mass-produced by the empire for use in Cyclonian weapons. Their effectiveness varies based on how well-refined they are, the higher-grade versions being capable of forming destructive thunderclouds from the energy release.
Floater Crystal — Causes objects to hover.
Frost Crystal — Called 'Icers', these allow weapons to fire freezing energy blasts.
Furnace Crystal — Low heat generation; comparable to campfires.
Fuel Crystal — Low grade, moderately volatile crystals used to power smaller vehicles.
Geyser Crystal — On impact, large eruptions of water.
Helix Stone - Seen in the episode Siren's Song, as part of an illusion created for Piper by the Siren. The actual existence of such a crystal remains to be seen. Its shape is similar to an Infinity Crystal.
Hypnosis Crystal — Sleep inducers.
Infinity Stone — Seen in the episode Siren's Song, as part of an illusion created for Piper by the Siren. According to Piper, only one such stone has ever been found.
Leech Crystal — Leech crystals (or "leechers") drain energy from other crystals, exploding after draining a certain amount.
Levitation Crystal — Like floaters, though more powerful and easier to use.
Lunar Crystal — Counterpart to Solaris crystals; store moonlight.
Messenger Crystal — Stores and replays messages.
Nimbus Crystal — Weapon crystal, level 9 nimbus crystals power Junko's knuckle busters.
Nitro Crystal — Increases a vehicle's speed ten-fold for a few seconds. Only usable once.
Oblivion Crystal — Sends target to another dimension. For some reason, they don't work if the target is or was once close to the user, namely if the two were once friends. Master Cyclonis attempts to use an Oblivion Crystal on Piper in one episode, but is foiled by their former friendship, causing a fight.
Oracle Stone — The Oracle Stone, possessed by its namesake spirit, shows the user the future. Aerrow frees the Oracle to avert an unpleasant future, thereby rendering the stone useless.
Paralyzer Stone — Stuns target.
Phoenix Crystal — Intense fire generation. They also attract the large, fast phoenix itself, which guards the crystals jealously.
Raw Crystals — Unrefined crystals in their natural state after being mined.
Rainbow Smoke Crystals — Multi-colored smoke effect, usually for entertainment.
Scalus Crystal - Medium-grade weapon crystals, favorite of the raptors.
Shield Crystal — Creates energy shields of varying intensity and color for use on carrier ships.
Slime Crystal — Goo producers, disastrous when combined with an eruption stone
Solaris Crystal — Converts sunlight into usable power.
Striker Crystal — Striker crystals are the basic weapon crystals, seen in many colors.
Swarm Crystal — Converts objects into angry insects.
Timepulse — Located at the heart of the complicated clockworks in the massive Timepulse Tower on Terra Glockenchime, the Timepulse crystal emits a steady pulse which airships rely on for navigation.
Velocity Crystal — Increases vehicle speed.
Weather Crystal — Weather crystals are elemental weapons crystals, giving appropriate properties based on the type.
Windstone Crystal — Wind generation; combined with weaponry they can create tornadoes.
Yarr Crystal - Weapon crystals used mostly by Murk Raiders.
