| Magic | Dark Magic |
Magic is a mystical force used to bend reality to the whim of its user. Its main form is generally associated with pink or lavender but it can be associated with many other colors depending on what type of magic is being used. It has a darker side, used by Hazza D'ur, the Forbidden Five, and later Clouse. Magic can be used by any means such as spells, potions, hexes, curses, crystal balls, and many other mystical objects and artifacts.[4] Some realms like Mysterium and Djinjago are home to different types of magic and mystical beings.
Spells are what tie up with magic; many of them are written in the Book of Spells. However, the book was burnt by Lloyd as a tribute and in remembrance of his father.
Particularly powerful spells can remain intact even after they have been used. Unraveled spells have the ability to develop consciousness and take on a physical form, but can be transformed back to their original form under certain circumstances.
Misusing Djinn artifacts creates living curses called Howlers, which mercilessly hunt their summoners.
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. When the two came home, they saw their father writing on pieces of scroll, which he deemed too dangerous for them. Later, when she overthrew Mambo V, Wu and Garmadon defeated her using the dark powers of the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu and subsequently Mambo V trapped her with a spell in the pyramid, where she could not escape.[5]
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.[6]
Note: These events are listed in no particular order.
The Forbidden Five were granted power from Thunderfang, enabling them to tap into a powerful form of dark magic sourced from the Shatter Dragon’s energy, accessed by studying their scrolls, which were written in their language and culture, Theroxian, prior to being empowered by Chaos.[7]
Hoping to stop the Forbidden Five, Egalt and Rontu sought out Gandalaria, who created a potent spell to imprison the group outside the realms. The spell successfully trapped the Forbidden Five, but remained active due to its strength.[8]
Centuries ago[]
Centuries before the ninja arrived to Shintaro, the powerful sorcerer Hazza D'ur created a city inside Shintaro Mountain using Dark Magic. At one point after that, he was vanquished, but the Dark Magic still remained in his skull, allowing his soul to persist.[9]
Two hundred years ago, Nadakhan left Djinjago and became a pirate in Ninjago. With the help of wish magic, he fulfilled several creatures' wishes, forcing them to become part of his crew. Among the wishes he granted were Dogshank wishing to stand out, Doubloon tried wishing his way out of his sentence when he was caught trying to steal Nadakhan's gold, and Monkey Wretch wished to be the greatest mechanic of his kind, but was instead turned into a mechanical monkey.[10]
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 cursed him and his students to become 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.[11]
Decades ago[]
More than forty years ago, when Garmadon trained with Clouse in Chen's monastery, Clouse used Dark Magic to animate the training equipment, but was defeated by Garmadon using Spinjitzu.[12]
Shortly after the Serpentine War, Garmadon used the Book of Spells to banish the Anacondrai generals to the Cursed Realm.[12]
Around fifteen or twenty 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.[13]
Some years ago, Vangelis learned that in the Dungeons of Shintaro lies a 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 transform him with 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.[14]
Over the following years, Vangelis began using the skull's power to reawaken an army of undead warriors and subdue the Munce and Geckles, who were forced to mine Vengestone for him in the Mines of Shintaro.[14]
Tournament of Elements[]
Clouse used dark magic in attempt to sabotage the Ninja, once when he animated the Anacondrai symbol on the carpet, which then caught Lloyd's leg and held him. However, Garmadon jumped on Clouse and broke his spell. Clouse used magic against Jay creating a stone mech from the surrounding material. When fighting Garmadon for the last time, the sorcerer opened a portal to the Cursed Realm, where he tried to banish Garmadon, but was defeated and banished instead.
Later, Kapau and Chope cast the Spell of Transformation from the Book of Spells to turn themselves, their master, and the rest of the Anacondrai Cultists into Anacondrai.
When Pythor brought the Book of Spells to the Destiny's Bounty, Lloyd used a spell to banish Garmadon to the Cursed Realm to release the Anacondrai generals from their imprisonment to curse Chen and his army.
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 possess Misako and engage in combat against Wu through her proxy. However, Nya intervened and disrupted her spell.
Morro stole the Allied Armor of Azure to summon his ghost warriors to aid him before he claimed the Realm Crystal. Morro then found the Sword of Sanctuary to use to find the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.
Skybound[]
After Nadakhan was released from the Teapot of Tyrahn, he granted Clouse's three wishes which were to recover his Book of Spells, become human again, and make the pain go away, which resulted in him getting trapped in the teapot. He later did the same for many of the other Ninja. Although this time, he trapped them in the Djinn Blade.
After obtaining infinite wishes, Nadakahn used his newfound powers to create dozens of duplicates of himself. When he was then called out by Clancee, who had realized that the ceremony was only for himself, the Djinn banished him, Doubloon, and Monkey Wretch.
With the place to himself, Nadakhan wished that Delara would return to Nya's body. He then tried to impress her with his wishes, but the Ninja interrupted. In the fight, Nadakhan used his newfound magic wish to turn most of them to gold. When Flintlocke shot him with the Tiger Widow venom, it caused his powers to disappear, making the new Djinjago fall on Ninjago and Delara's consciousness disappear from Nya's body.
Dark Island Trilogy[]
Clouse used dark magic when he ambush Wu. He then explained his intentions, where he freed Nadakhan's crew from their imprisonment in separate realms before using it again to blackmail them into joining him. Clouse blasted Kai with a burst of dark magic and later summoned a sandstorm, separating the ninja from him and the pirates as they escaped.
When Clouse brought all the Dark Matter he needed to the Temple of Light, he summons an army of Shadows to defend his plans alongside the Sky Pirates and caused the Dark Island and Ninjago to slowly merge in order to infect both worlds with pure evil. He then formed a shadow barrier to protect the Dark Matter trove, only for Master Wu, now armed with the repaired Golden Mech, to break through.
Frustrated, Clouse proceeded to summon his army of Shadows to him, forming a duplicate shadow mech. Despite his efforts, however, the blade of his shadow mech would be shattered, even as Wu used the Golden Mech to once again disperse the Dark Matter and cleanse the Temple of Light. With the islands now returning to their original positions, a portal formed above Clouse, sucking him in. Despite Wu's offer to save and redeem him, Clouse, blinded by his fury, refused by stating that he'd prefer to die than be saved by Wu, and surrendered to the vortex.
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[]
The Sons of Garmadon utilized the Oni Masks to resurrect Lord Garmadon. Mr. E and Killow used their Oni Mask of Deception and Oni Mask of Vengeance to battle the Ninja. When searching for the Oni Mask of Hatred, within the Oni Temple. Harumi attempted to grab it, but since the barrier around the mask was made from Dark Magic, she couldn't. She then explained to Lloyd that someone with Oni blood can obtain the mask.
Hunted[]
Skylor found the Mask of Hatred and suggests that if Lloyd's power doesn't return, then it might help him. Mystake warns Lloyd about the dangers of using the mask as "Oni power is Dark Magic." Skylor asks for his choice of using it. Lloyd goes back in and throws it in front of Harumi.
After Mystake transformed into her true Oni form, she summoned a staff using Dark Magic to form a black cloud, to allow Skylor to copy Garmadon's Destruction.
Ultra Violet was holding the Mask of Hatred while calling for a ride when she soon discovers Lloyd, Nya, and Dareth escaping with an unconscious Skylor. Ultra Violet used the mask to finish off Nya but Lloyd and Dareth arrive in their armored vehicle, ramming into the invulnerable Ultra Violet and sending her flying into a brick wall. When Ultra Violet emerges from the debris, the mask breaks apart, falling off of her face.
March of the Oni[]
The Oni used their dark magic to spread darkness throughout Ninjago City, with its tentacles petrifying anyone who were touched by them. The clouds of Dark Magic were under the Bounty when it was flying above Ninjago City and they were also in Borg Tower when Lloyd and his father walked through to get to the Realm Crystal. The Omega used his dark magic to summon more Oni, forcing Garmadon and Lloyd to retreat. Soon, P.I.X.A.L. dived into the clouds to help them.
Meanwhile, trying to save anyone left from the clouds, Cole fell in and the clouds surrounded him. When Cole woke up, he tried to run through the clouds to get to the Earth Driller. He almost fell ill to it but made it out in time.
Later, when the ninja, Garmadon, Faith, and Wu retreated from the Oni, clouds of Dark Magic climbed over the monastery walls.
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 one of the Forbidden scrolls 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 Forbidden scroll to banish any defense weapons in her path and confront Wu. However, Zane intervenes, causing him to be banished to the Never-Realm.
Later, P.I.X.A.L. used Aspheera's staff, with the Forbidden scroll attached to it, to channel the scroll's dark powers to send the Ninja and the Land Bounty 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 sorcerer an advantage. 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 recapture 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 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.
Crystalized[]
When Aspheera was given her staff, she used her magic to turn Nya back. However, the sorceress, blinded by revenge, tried to kill the ninja, although she was eventually forced to use the staff to deprive Nya her powers. As a result of a shockwave occurring, Aspheera lost possession of her staff once more. When a Crystal Spider visited Aspheera in her pyramid, it brought her a new staff with a purple handle.
When Lloyd, disguised as the Mechanic, tried to escape, she used the new staff's magic to stop him, but failed, although Lloyd was later captured by Mister F.
When the Crystal Council got all four Golden Weapons, Aspheera commences a ritual using the magical abilities from her new staff to transform the Golden Weapons into the Weapons of Destruction, as well as recreating the Overlord's physical form as the Crystal King.
The Spell at the Waterfall (flashback)[]
The spell used to banish the Forbidden Five eventually reached the Dragon Stone Shrine, where it encountered Wu. Wu introduced the spell to the idea of friendship and family, leading it to transform into a skeleton named Bonzle, who befriended the Finders in the Land of Lost Things.
Dragons Rising, Season 1[]
To safeguard the secrecy of certain information, including the existence of the Dragon Cores and their role in preventing the MergeQuakes, Ras implemented a curse on the Scroll-Worms. As a result, these worms would display hostility towards anyone who sought to inquire about this knowledge.
The Merge also resulted in the formation of portal gates, mystical gateways that provide entry to the realms. Zane tried to get the one under the Monastery of Spinjitzu to work but discovered it was mystical and not technological, making it difficult to scan.
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.
Dragons Rising, Season 2[]
Upon reaching the Shadow Dojo, Ras instructed Jordana to delve into the Theroxian scrolls to master the intricacies of Theroxian magic. After a while, Jordana successfully harnessed her newfound abilities to dispel the fog, which was actually a border spell that enveloped the Land of Lost Things to capture Bonzle.
Gandalaria used her magical prowess to assist Cole and Zane in fending off the Administration Agents who were intent on recapturing Zane. Jordana conjured a fierce storm that scattered the ninja throughout the Forest of Spirits.
As the situation escalated, Gandalaria made an attempt to confine Bonzle within a protective container, but her efforts were thwarted by Jordana, who twisted Gandalaria's magic to seal Bonzle away instead. During the Blood Moon ritual, Jordana skillfully used her magic to gain control over Bonzle, forcing her to revert to her spell form. This allowed her to open a magic portal to the Nether-Space, while Ras recited the incantation of the Ritual of the Blood Moon. In the midst of this, Gandalaria channeled her magic to prevent the Cloud Kingdom from plummeting.
When the portal was been about to close, Rox separated her soul from her body and moved it into Jordana's body, therefore taking possession of the Imperian girl's body. Later, she effortlessly harnessed her Theroxian magic to control Cinder and the Wolf Mask Warriors, unleashing their complete potential as the warriors became infused with Chaos energy. Subsequently, Rox cast a static spell that rendered Nya, Zane, and Cole, as well as the Elemental Earth Mech, completely immobilized, but Jordana eventually managed to break the spell after being released from the evil Elemental Master's possession.
Dragons Rising, Season 3[]
Arrakore continued to use his wish magic to restore Djinjago. When Rox arrived to have him repair a broken Prismatic Blade, Arrakore refused due to knowing the danger the blade can do in the hands of evil. The Djinn later tricked Rox into wishing the Ninja were here, bringing Nya, Sora, and Riyu to her. He used his wish magic to aid Nya and Sora in defeating Rox and the Dragonian Warriors, wishing one to be light as a feather, a warrior’s helmet to be on backwards, one to be struck by lightning, another warrior to have bones made of jelly, and the last warrior to be trapped in a rubber ball. When Rox captured Arrakore in a timepiece, she forced him to fix the Yellow Prismatic Blade. Rox then had a little fun with her wishes, wishing her opponents to freeze, state their inferiority against the Forbidden Five, and bow before her. However, this gave Sora a chance to use her Technology to destroy the timepiece and force Rox and her Dragonian warriors to retreat with the fixed Prismatic Blade. After the victory, Arrakore granted Sora's wish to send them back to their friends.

Djinns and Djinjagan Dragons possess their own form of magic fueled by their homeland Djinjago[19] that allows them 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.

Trivia[]
- Djinns and Oni are born with magic abilities, while other magic users learned them.
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt confirmed that a non-elemental Djinjagan magical ability relates to changing the size of living things.[20] It's inferred that the ability works on non-living objects as well.
- Djinn Magic depends on the size and growth of the Realm of Djinjago. This was not the case in Skybound when Nadakhan could grant wishes regardless dispite the destruction of the realm. This is presumably due to the realms being seperated at the time.
- Though Fungus' powers may appear to be magic, he more likely uses alchemy.[21]
- According to Tommy Andreasen, "there is such a thing as good magic."[18]
- This was confirmed in The Curse of the Cat-Eye Jewel.
- Magic is not an elemental power or an elemental essence.[22]
- However with magic, it is possible to emulate the Elemental Powers, which is shown when Fungus freezes the Lava Monster in "Dungeon Crawl!", or when Gandalaria produces lightning attacks.[23]
- Upon being asked on Bluesky if Gandalaria can use magic without her crystal ball, Chris "Doc" Wyatt stated: "Not all spells use crystal balls. There are potions, hexes, etc. Various kinds of magic, used in various kinds of ways. Some require different power items, some require no items at all."[4]
- This was actually seen in "Secrets of the Wyldness."
