Destruction

Destruction (also known as Dark Lightning) is an elemental essence in Ninjago and is composed of the four main elements and possibly Darkness. It is the opposite of Creation, and is purple in color. In its unbalanced form, it was Lord Garmadon's preferred element before being purified of evil, and as a Master, his power had returned to balance. While it is possible that others have learned to harness this form of element, it is never mentioned.

Users' Abilities

 * Destruction Inducement - The user can destroy objects, possibly even objects of great size, (like in the episode "Spellbound," 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 the short movie "An Underworldly Takeover," when Garmadon uses this ability in form of Spinjitzu against Samukai, throwing him backward with strong force).
 * Disintegration - The user can disintegrate objects (like Garmadon did in form of Spinjitzu against the objects possessed by Clouse's Dark Magic in the episode "Spellbound").
 * Dark Element Manipulation - The user can manipulate a corrupted and darker version of the main elements (though only Lightning has been seen).
 * Dark Lightning Manipulation - 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 Green Ninja"). With this ability, the user can presumably shock an adversary, though this is never shown.
