Merlin's Jewel

Merlin's jewel has been destroyed to defeat Lady Kale at the end of the original Jewel Quest

The Wizard Jewels (or the Wild Magic Jewels[1]) are a set of magic items that serve as the "MacGuffin" of the second season of Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders, taking over from and replacing the hunt for the Crown Jewels from the first Jewel Quest of season one. Similar to them, the Wizard Jewels are the hidden treasures that the Jewel Riders need to find before they can fall into wrong hands.

Morgana Wizard Jewels

These very powerful magic jewels each belonged to an evil ancient wizard before their defeat by Merlin. Now that the wizards are long-gone, their jewels can usually be now found in their former lairs that are still protected by traps. The Wizard Jewels are also attracted to places of strong magic—not necessarily just in Avalon. And this time, the Jewel Riders will need to compete not only against Lady Kale, but also with their new ultimate enemy, Morgana, once the leader of the ancient wizards. Through the power of the Wizard Jewels, once collected, Merlin can be freed from being stranded within the Wild Magic.

New Jewel Quest[]

Final mission

Princess Gwenevere with the second Jewel Box in "Lady of the Lake"

When the good wizard Merlin threw his enemies the ancient wizards into the Wild Magic, their magic jewels flew everywhere. In the long time since then, some of their jewels have then been taken up by new users such as Ian. But then Merlin himself also lost his jewel at the end of the original Jewel Quest (the struggle for the Crown Jewels). In order to save Merlin, Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders must search for and secure enough of the Wizard Jewels and assemble them into the new Jewel Box, and then forge them together as a new jewel for him so he could at last be able to return to Avalon.

However, the dark alliance of the unexpectedly returning Avalon's evil princess Lady Kale with the also resurrected ancient wizard Queen Morgana very soon also begins seeking the jewels for themselves (for what Morgana says will give them more magic than Kale "ever dream possible"[2]). They plan to destroy Merlin so they could forevermore rule both Avalon and all the worlds connected via the Wild Magic. But the Jewel Riders, directed by Queen Anya, stand in their way and they will do everything to not allow for the Wizard Jewels to be again used for evil.

Book of Magic Jewels

After the girls foil Kale sent by Morgana to get her an old book with locations of the lairs from the Hall of Wizards, Anya begins using the Crown Jewels and Merlin's maps to map out the potential locations of the Wizard Jewels in and outside Avalon, but Kale soon steals the information and the race for the magic jewels is on again. Morgana too has her own devices for detecting magical jewels inside the Wild Magic. Meanwhile, Kale resorts to keep on spying on the Jewel Riders with her dweasels trying to be secretly ahead of Morgana whom she regards as her rival for her dream of taking over all of magic only for herself, but otherwise she does what Morgana plans with the help of Morgana's mighty magic to match the Jewel Riders' own greater powers. At the same time, in Avalon and beyond, the Jewel Riders meet new friends who will help them against their two quarrelling enemies.

With the help of the self-proclaimed wizard named Chance, the girls must reach it before Lady Kale and Morgana who also are searching for it.

The original script described it as a "diamond wizard jewel".[3]

The Unicorn Jewel

Unicorn Jewel

The Unicorn Jewel is unique as in that it does not appear to have been owned by any of the wizards. It is featured in the episode "Vale of the Unicorns". It is located in the titular Vale of the Unicorns, within the very dangerous Magic Path grotto of trials. The unicorns believe the Jewel protects itself from those not fit to rule the unicorns with a one-way trip into the wild magic, not knowing of its history. After Morgana arrives and attacks Queen Sierra to steal it, Moondance and her friends must go through the Path to find the jewel first and maybe even the missing queen of the unicorns.

The Unicorn Jewel also appears in Avalon: Web of Magic as Kara's magic stone.

Other Wizard Jewels[]

Dark Stone[]

Main article: Dark Stone
Dark Stone WM

The deadly Dark Stone was created and first owned by Morgana, who had originally named it the Dark Jewel and specifically tuned it to dispose of the lone good wizard Merlin. It is an extremely powerful wizard jewel but also unpredictable and erratic.

Unlike the other Wizard Jewels, the Dark Stone is inherently evil. Through most of the series, it is owned and wielded by Lady Kale after she finds and tunes it. At the beginning of the second season, Morgana reunites with her jewel, but discovers she cannot use it to return to Avalon because it is now bonded to Kale.

Dark Stone Gwen

Eventually, after Lady Kale is finally defeated by Princess Gwenevere, the still dangerous Dark Stone is taken by Ian for safekeeping. In the end, Gwen makes it completely absorbed by the Sun Stone to power up the latter jewel to be used against Morgana.

One Jewel[]

Merlin One Jewel

The One Jewel is a magical item of superbly immense power, able to channel all of the Wizard Jewels' magic. It is featured in the show's last episode, "The One Jewel" (aka "The Last Dance"), when it is created by combining the Staff of Avalon and six Wizard Jewels plus the Sun Stone infused with the power of the Dark Stone during the showdown of Merlin and the Jewel Riders against Morgana and the returning evil wizards.

The One Jewel

Using the Staff of Avalon, the Wizard Jewels can be fused in a special magic forge in the Center of the Wild Magic to create the ultimate Wizard Jewel to rule all the magic. To make it, Princess Gwenevere absorbs the magic of the Dark Stone to re-power her own Sun Stone. Upon the creation of the One Jewel, Morgana attempts to seize it but Gwen snatches it for Merlin, who uses it to wipe out with his dark magic wizard rivals and turn all the magic to goodness forever.
