== Overview ==
This page describes the types of [[Gems]] you can encounter on the gem board during a game of [[Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest]]
== Colored gems ==
Colored gems are white, blue, black, red, or green.
* Colored gems may become [[Gems#Support gems|Support gems]] when a support is played.
* Colored gems may become [[Gems#Activated gems|Activated gems]] when a card with an activated ability is played.
[[Matching]] colored gems gives you 1 [[Mana]] per gem, extra mana according to your mana bonus, and 1 [[Loyalty]].
== Loyalty gems ==
[[Matching]] loyalty gems gives you 1 [[Loyalty]] per gem, but no mana.
Loyalty gems generally can't be converted into other gem colors or types unless explicitly specified.
== Support gems ==
When a support card or token enters play, a colored gem becomes a '''Support gem'''.
* If possible, the support is placed on a gem matching a color of the support.
* If that's not possible, the support may be placed on any colored gem.
Support gems enter play with a shield value. The shield value represents the durability of the support.
Support gems can't be converted into other gem colors or types.
=== Creating support gems ===
Support gems can be created by:
* Playing a support card from hand.
** Playing the same support card again {{Ability|Reinforce|reinforces}} the existing support gem, unless otherwise specified.
* Using a card or an ability to create a support tokens. Types of support tokens are described below.
=== Matching support gems ===
[[Matching]] or hitting a support gem by a match-4 reduces its shield by 1. If the shield goes to 0, the support is destroyed. Some supports are indestructible and have infinite shields.
