'''Spirit Gems '''are the [[Gems|gem clusters]] in [[The Legend of Spyro (series)|The Legend of Spyro series]] that give out red, green, blue and purple gems. They are the only gems in the entire Legend series that give out every type of gem at once. They can be found basically anywhere, including in huge clumps of grass.

'''Spirit Gems''' are a type of [[Gem (The Legend of Spyro)|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. 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 (The Legend of Spyro)|Sparx]]. [[Ignitus]] later explained that the Spirit Gems are a gift from the dragon ancestors.

In ''[[The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night|The Eternal Night]]'', [[the Chronicler]] told Spyro how [[Malefor]] taught the [[Ape]]s 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.
In ''A New Beginning'', the Spirit Gems appear as iridescent gem clusters that give out health, mana, and fury gems.
In [[The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night|The Eternal Night]] and [[The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon|Dawn of the Dragon]], they appear as separate types of Gems: red for health, green for mana, blue for XP points, and purple for [[Furies|fury]].


==Story==
==Locations and uses==
Ignitus stated in [[The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning|''A New Beginning'']] that the Spirit Gems are a gift from the ancestors. They are also the life force of all dragons, with the dragon race known to draw strength from these Gems. However, [[Malefor (The Legend of Spyro)|Malefor]] taught the [[Apes]] to artifically harness the power of the Spirit Gems for their evil purposes.
Spirit Gems are found around the Dragon Temple, [[Dante's Freezer]], [[Tall Plains]], [[Munitions Forge]], [[Concurrent Skies]] and the otherwordly realm of [[Convexity]]. They are used to replenish Spyro's health, breath energy, fury energy and experience points.


[[Spyro (The Legend of Spyro)|Spyro]] also stated that when he hit a Spirit Gem cluster, he felt the power of a thousand suns pass through his body.
In ''[[The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night]]'' and ''Dawn of the Dragon'', Spirit blue gems appear as a separate gem cluster that only grant Spyro experience points. In the latter game, they serve as collectibles.
 
Further evidence that the Spirit Gems are the dragons' life force is displayed during Spyro and [[Cynder (The Legend of Spyro)|Cynder]]'s final battle against Malefor. As Malefor is taking major damage, he roars in pain and releases gems that recovers the two dragons' health, mana, and fury.

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. 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 are a gift from the dragon 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.

Locations and uses

Spirit Gems are found around the Dragon Temple, Dante's Freezer, Tall Plains, Munitions Forge, Concurrent Skies and the otherwordly realm of Convexity. They are used to replenish Spyro's health, breath energy, fury energy and experience points.

In The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night and Dawn of the Dragon, Spirit blue gems appear as a separate gem cluster that only grant Spyro experience points. In the latter game, they serve as collectibles.
