== Activated gems ==
[[Matching]] activated gems destroys them and produces an effect which depends on the type of the activated gem. Activated gems can also be destroyed with abilities, whether cast or on the board (such as [[#Improved gems|Ignited gem]]s) or used by [[Planeswalkers]], which often destroy square gem blocks of various sizes (eg 3x3 or 5x5).
Activated gems are created from existing colored gems, and keep their [[color]] after becoming activated gems.
While most activated gems have no effect if matched by the opponent, the [[Puzzle Masters]] set introduced a new type of Activated gem that always does : [[#Improved gems|Improved gems]].
Tapping an activated gem will cause a glow to appear on or around any source that created it present on the [[gem board]], or a Planeswalker's portrait if their ability was the source.

=== Improved gems ===
{{Ability|Improved Gem|Improved Gems}} were introduced with the [[PMAPuzzle Masters]] set. They always trigger with an effect for the player that matches them. Only the Blue {{Ability|Deny}} and {{Ability|Time Bubble}} gems are unequivocally detrimental to the enemy that matches them.

== Mana Field ==
[[File: Blood token.png|x200px]]
Introduced by [[PMA]], but now widely used, {{Ability|Mana Field}} supports {{Ability|trigger}} their effects when any gem on the [[Gem board]] is matched adjacent or diagonally adjacent to the support.
{{Ability|Lotus Field}} supports {{Ability|trigger}} their effects like a Mana Field, but the effects, usually converting gems to that color or increasing that color's mana bonus, are dependent on the color of gem [[Matching|matched]].
{{Ability|Blood}} is a {{Ability|token}} support created by other cards or Planeswalker abilities. When a gem in its Mana Field is matched, it loses a shield, and then {{Ability|Discard|Discards}} a card and Draws a card.
