“Magic has its rules, you know.”

Magic is a mystical force used to bend reality to the whim of its user. The power is generally associated with the color purple. It has a darker counterpart, mainly used by Hazza D'ur and later, Clouse.

Magic was first mentioned when Lord Garmadon said that Dark Magic made him stronger, thus, giving him his four arms to possess all the Golden Weapons at once.

Spells are what tie-up with magic; many of them being written in the Book of Spells. However, the book was burnt by Lloyd as a tribute, and in remembrance, of his father.

Notable uses[]

Prior to the series[]

Thousands of years ago, the young Serpentine sorceress, Aspheera, used her magic to free the Sons of the First Spinjitzu Master from King Mambo V's prison. Later, when she overthrew Mambo V, Wu and Garmadon defeated her using the Forbidden scrolls and subsequently Mambo V trapped her by a spell in the pyramid, where she could not escape.[2]

Note: These events are listed in no particular order.

Centuries ago[]

Centuries before the ninja arrived to Shintaro, the powerful sorcerer Hazza D'ur created the city inside Shintaro Mountain using the Dark Magic. At one point after that, he was vanquished, but the Dark Magic still remained in his skull, allowing his soul to persist.[3]

Learning that the only way that she could be better than the First Spinjitzu Master was by becoming immortal, Nineko studied Dark Magic and used her new abilities to drained the life out of the crops from Komala's village. But instead, she caused the crops to turn black and die. After witnessing this, Komala studied good magic and became the leader of the Order of Felis so she could stop Nineko from seeking immortality.[4]

Two hundred years ago, Nadakhan left Djinjago and became a pirate in Ninjago. With the help of Djinn Magic, he fulfilled several creatures' wishes, forcing them to become the Sky Pirates.[5]

While searching for the key to immortality, Master Yang's studies led him to discover the Yin Blade. Experimenting with its mystical, life-giving properties, he used it to restore the life of deceased flora, before attempting to use its magic on himself in order to achieve immortality. However, the experiment was flawed, and instead, it resulted in him and his students becoming ghosts, trapped between the realms of the living and departed and unable to leave the Temple of Airjitzu. The Yin Blade then disappeared until it was placed in the Ninjago Museum of History.[6]

Decades ago[]

More than forty years ago, when Garmadon trained with Clouse in Chen's monastery, Clouse used Dark Magic to revive the training equipment, but was defeated by Garmadon using Spinjitzu.[7]

Shortly after the Serpentine War, Garmadon used the Book of Spells to banish the Anacondrai generals to the Cursed Realm.[7]

Around ten years ago, when Garmadon almost defeated Wu, the symbols on the First Spinjitzu Master's kimono worn by Wu began to glow and shot a large strip of Good Magic into the sky, which subsequently opened the Underworld where Garmadon was banished then.[8]

Some years ago, Vangelis learned that in the Dungeons of Shintaro there is the powerful artifact of Dark Magic, the Skull of Hazza D'ur and therefore on tasked the Lowly to retrieve it so it could be destroyed and keep Shintaro safe.

The adventurers managed to overcome all the traps and enter the restricted cave, where Hazza D'ur's skull was placed on a pedestal under a large statue. Korgran tried to take it with his hands, but the skull immediately came to life and tried to possess him with the Dark Magic. However, Korgran managed to drop the skull and it remained dormant. Later, when Vangelis took the skull, Hazza D'ur's soul then appeared in the skull again and began to laugh with Vangelis.[9]

Over the following years, Vangelis began using the skull's power and reawaked the deceased warriors to subdue the Munce and Geckles, who began mining Vengestone for him in the Mines of Shintaro.[9]

Tournament of Elements[]

Possession[]

Yang utilized Ghost Magic to induce fear in the ninja upon their entry into the Temple of Airjitzu. As an example, he orchestrated the shaking of door handles, caused water to flow from a painting of the sea, created the illusion of Morro, and moved the entire temple to the Ethereal Divide. After the successful escape of the ninja, except for Cole, Yang used magic to transform him into a ghost.

While Wu, Nya, and Misako were situated at the Endless Sea near the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, Bansha employed Ghost Magic to manipulate Misako and engage in combat against Wu through her proxy. However, Nya intervened and disrupted her spell.

Skybound[]

Dark Island Trilogy[]

Day of the Departed[]

After snatching the Yin Blade, Cole headed straight for the Temple of Airjitzu to confront Yang with the weapon. In his rush to attack, Cole accidentally broke a jar that served as an exit from the Departed Realm, freeing the spirits of several villains: Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor, Chen, Morro, Eyezor, Zugu, three Nindroid Warriors, two Stone Swordsmen, and two Stone Scouts. The unleashed souls wreaked havoc all over Ninjago by possessing their own mannequins at the Ninjago Museum of History.

With the spirits of past villains causing chaos, the rest of the ninja were kept busy and distracted. Taking advantage of this, Yang managed to snatch the weapon from Cole with the help of his deceased students. He went on to explain his plan of using Dark Magic from the eclipse to amplify the powers of the Yin Blade and create a portal to escape his state of limbo.

Now in possession of the Yin Blade, Yang made his way up to the roof of his temple and activated the artifact. Using its reality-bending powers, he opened the Rift of Return. However, a determined Cole confronted Yang and the two engaged in a battle. In an attempt to defend himself, Yang used the Yin Blade to slice through Cole's weapon. Despite the setback, Cole's friends arrived to support him, and he unleashed his RX powers to strike back at Yang. In a bid to protect himself, Yang wielded the Yin Blade. But he couldn't withstand the punch, and Cole's attack shattered the Yin Blade. With the destruction of the Yin Blade and the Yin-Yang Eclipse coming to an end, the Rift of Return was forced to close.

Sons of Garmadon[]

Hunted[]

March of the Oni[]

Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu[]

Aspheera was released from her pyramid and began to seek revenge on Wu for leaving her there. With her magic, she managed to extract the Element of Fire from Kai and chained him and the other ninja up before causing the pyramid to erupt with lava. By creating Fire Fang and the Elemental Cobras, Aspheera was able to acquire the Forbidden Scroll and launch an attack on the Monastery of Spinjitzu with an army of Pyro Vipers, who were brought back to life with her magic and Fire. Aspheera used the magical abilities of her staff and the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu to banish any defense weapons in her path and confront Wu. However, Zane intervenes, resulting him banished to the Never-Realm.

Master of the Mountain[]

During their time in Shintaro Mountain, the ninja encountered the Skull Sorcerer and Hazza D'ur. The latter revived the Re-Awakened each time the ninja vanquished them, thereby granting the sorcerers control over the ninja. As a result, the ninja were forced to toil in the Dungeons of Shintaro alongside the Geckles and Munce to mine Vengestone. However, they eventually managed to escape, and Cole reunited with Wu and Vania. Together, the three discovered that Vangelis was the Skull Sorcerer, who revealed the Skull of Hazza D'ur to them. Vangelis used the magic relic to knock away Cole and Wu, revealing that it was the source of his power. Wu realized that they had to destroy the skull to defeat Vangelis.

When the ninja were persuading the Geckles and Munce to attend a truce meeting, Vangelis used the Skull of Hazza D'ur's necromancy to resurrect Grief-Bringer. The dragon and the Re-Awakened then trapped the ninja, Geckles, and Munce in the Geckle Strong-Cave until the ninja were forced to turn themselves in. This allowed Vangelis and Hazza D'ur to capture both the Geckles and Munce.

Eventually, in the Battle for Shintaro Mountain, Cole confronted Vangelis. In the battle, Hazza D'ur used his magic to reassemble the Re-Awakened and blasted bolts of magic to battle Cole until he destroyed the Blades of Deliverance. The Skull of Hazza D'ur was then used to overwhelm Cole until the Earth Ninja unlocked the Spinjitzu Burst and destroyed the ancient artifact. This action destroyed Vangelis' source of power and reverted the revived skeletons back to bones.

Season 1 (Dragons Rising)[]

When Nya, Sora, Riyu, Jiro, and Zanth were searching for a Dragon Core, Nya and Sora ended up falling under a curse designed against those who would abuse djinn artifacts, and were subsequently pursued by Howlers. Unable to defeat them, they retreated, coming across Arrakore's sanctum. Arrakore stated how the Howlers could only be defeated with wish magic. However, with Djinjago - the source of his magic - destroyed, this would be impossible. However, Sora figured out that by having hope, it would allow Arrakore to access his wish magic again. Using Sora and Nya's wishes, Arrakore defeated the Howlers. After Arrakore recovered enough to wield wish magic again, he granted Nya's wish for them to be able to find the Dragon Core.

Users' abilities[]

  • Mystokinesis - The user can create spells, bend supernatural forces, and possess objects. In "Spellbound," it was shown to be both offensive and defensive, being that Clouse was able to protect himself from Garmadon.

    • Transmogrification - This allows the user to alter the appearance of objects, shown when Clouse transforms some of the training objects in his fight with Garmadon, and when the Anacondrai warriors were transformed into Anacondrai, or when Nadakhan manipulated the element of Form to transform into the ninja and frame them by using their powers with his Magic.
    • Mysto-Ergokinesis - This allows the user to manipulate magical energy. If the person is a more powerful being, such as a Djinn or an Oni, then he can manipulate the energy that can cast a specific effect.

    • Container Imprisonment - As demonstrated by Nadakhan with the Teapot of Tyrahn and the Djinn Blade, the user is able to imprison the Souls of others in objects.
    • Banishment - As demonstrated in "Battle Between Brothers", Wu's black kimono had magic symbols which acted like a protection spell agaisnt evil, thus banishing Garmadon to the underworld. Later Garmadon use the Book of Spells to banish the Anacondri Generals to the Curse Realm. Later Nadakhan used this power to banish Clancee, Doubloon, and Monkey Wretch.

    • Mystokinetic Incantation - A user can cast and summon magical spells, curses, and enchantments.

Wish magic

Djinns possess the ability to employ a unique form of enchantment to grant the desires of other beings. Nevertheless, wish magic is governed by specific regulations, prohibiting the fulfillment of wishes for more wishes, love, and harm towards others. Furthermore, it carries a sinister aspect, exemplified by the transformation of Tanabrax, a once ordinary puppeteer, into a malevolent shadow entity. The misuse of djinn artifacts also triggers a curse upon the individual responsible. It is usually associated with orange, blue and purple.
