This page describes the types of [[Gems]] you can encounter on the [[Gem board]] during a game of [[Magic: the Gathering Puzzle Quest]]

[[File:Gem-ManaField.png|x72px]]

Support gems can be created by:

* Playing a support card from hand.

* Using a card or an ability to create a support tokens. Types of support tokens are described below.

[[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, i.e. they lose no shield when matched; they can still be destroyed by card and Planeswalker abilities. Others regain shields after losing them to a match. Fractals gain shield when matched.

Support gems created by an ordinary support card act as described on the card. Ordinary supports {{Ability|reinforce}} if played when you already control the same support in play, unless otherwise specified on the card. When a support gem which was cast as a support card is destroyed from play, the support card enters the graveyard.

Support tokens are created by effects rather than being cast as a card. When destroyed, support tokens do not enter the graveyard; they just disappear. Support tokens have the same appearance on the gem board as support cards, and unless otherwise specified are affected by the same effects and abilities that affect support gems cast as cards.

{{Ability|Vanguard|Vanguards}} are a special type of support card representing planeswalkers. They have a different appearance on the gem board to card or token supports.

== Activated gems ==

Activated gems are created from existing colored gems, and keep their [[color]] after becoming activated gems.

Activated gems can't be converted into other gem colors or types.
