Di-Gata Defenders is an animated television series about four children, Di-Gata Defenders who defend RaDos against attacks by the Order of Infinis.

[edit] Di-Gata Universe
The stories take place in a realm called Rados. Everything in Rados is a combination of mystical energy, which takes eight forms:
- Ogama (Order)
- Dako (Chaos)
- Yin (Youth)
- Yan (Wisdom)
- Altas (Balance)
- Nega (Force)
- Sum (Peace)
- Infinis (Eternity)
The history of the show tells of Primordials who roamed the realm. Their bodies used mystical energies as their life force. As they died, their life force leached into the rocks of Di-Gata Mountains.
Later, man was able to mine the rocks and form them into dice-like Di-Gata stones. The faces of the Di-Gata stones are marked with the types of energy they contain.Those who used wielded these stones became known as stone casters.
However, these stones contain great power, so the Wizards of Yan trained a group of people who would protect RaDos from harm. This group became known as Di-Gata Defenders.
However, one of the Wizards of Yan, Nazmul, wanted to keep all the power for himself. So he recruited powerful stone casters and formed the Order of Inifinis. Their purpose is to continuously gain power and eventually reach eternal life.
Nazmul managed to create a powerful creature known as Megalith, which were trapped by the Di-Gata Defenders by imprisioning its power into four "pure stones" through the spell of binding.
Afterwards a group of children, each a descendant of a previous Di-Gata Defender, are trained to be new a new group of defenders to keep the peace. Yet as time continues to pass, the spell of binding becomes weaker, and the Megalith becomes more agitated as it waits for its freedom...
[edit] Episodes

Meanwhile, agents of the dreaded Order of Infinis, an evil organization intent on the release of the Megalith, arrive at the monastery ahead of the Defenders.
- The Key To Victory - The Monastery burns as Malco and Flinch tear it apart looking for The Key.

- Vitus - Deep in the bowels of an abandoned mine, the Defenders uncover a secret destined to shake the entire realm of Rados to its foundations: The existence of a Ninth Sigil. And it doesn't take long before the evil Lord Nazmul sends his agents Malco and Flinch to claim it for the Order of Infinis.
- The Town that Time Forgot - The Defenders encounter a cocky young Stone Slinger eager to make a name for himself by challenging Seth to a showdown. An unlikely ally (Adam) is discovered inside the stoneslinger's gang.
- Carved In Stone - Deep inside a mountain at the roof of the world, the Defenders encounter Brim, the original carver of the pure stones, now living in self imposed exile and under siege by the evil Guardians. The Defenders remind him of the optimism he once held for human life and he gives Seth a rare and precious gift - the Vitus stone.
- The One - The Defenders close in on the first pure stone. Their quest takes them to a remote jungle village where Erik is hailed as a Shaman, thereby making an enemy of the tribe's medicine man.

- One Down - The Defenders find the way to the pure stone is blocked by the Dakonauts, Lord Nazmul's unstoppable robotic army. A strange psychic connection is revealed between Mel and Kara. And when the first stone is finally achieved it is at a terrible cost. Now the goal is not the rest of the stones, but saving Mel's life.
- Doom Chase - Mel and Erik have eluded their Sand Nomad pursuers and are hiding out while Mel recuperates. Seth has struck a deal with Doku - an embittered wizard who promises him the location of Nazmul's secret keep in exchange for Seth's word that he will destroy Brakus. To make sure that Seth holds up his end of the bargain, Doku reveals that he is holding Kara hostage. She has already been infected with poison of the Saviped spider. Only six hours remain before the antidote becomes useless.
- Warriors - On the run from Malco and Flinch and the Sand Nomads who have overrun the Dojo, Mel and Erik encounter Bo, a brash young stone slinger who tells them of a warrior cult competition being held in a nearby county. They quickly realize the trophy is nothing other than one of the prized pure stones. As Mel and Erik make their way into the heart of the enemy camp and fight their way to the trophy, Seth carries the gravely ill Kara into the Ban Yo swamp in search of the antidote that will save her life.
- Knowledge - Mel dreams of a long lost monastery and a pure stone hidden there. Nazmul is able to read her dream and decides that it is Mel - the possessor of such power - whose body he must have as the host for his incorporeal being. He dispatches Malco and Flinch to kidnap Mel, unaware that Brackus has stolen Nazmul's key and has gone to the monastery for his own purposes - possession of the pure stone. Brackus gets away with the pure stone. But all is not lost. The Defenders now have the key and the realization that their enemies are divided. They may be safe - for a while.
- Den of Thieves - Eluding bounty hunters, Adam charms his way into the Defenders’ encampment only to steal away in the night with their pure stones. His trail leads the Defenders to a den of thieves where an arms auction is being held with the main attraction the prized pure stone. After tricking their way into the camp, Mel is captured, and the Defenders are in disarray until Adam steps up to the plate. Using the Phase stone, he frees Mel, helps to destroy the encampment and helps the Defenders escape with the stones.
- Nexus - The Defenders head for the legendary Nexus - over the centuries a traditional place of healing for Di-Gata Defenders. But the Nexus is not what it seems. Kali, a shape shifting agent of Nazmul, has been charged with obtaining a body host for Nazmul. Disguising herself as the Keeper of the Nexus, she welcomes them inside. As Kara’s wizard-like powers start to manifest themselves, Kali decides that Kara, not Mel should be the one Nazmul seeks.
- Replication - Barely escaping the Nexus with their lives, the Defenders set out for the Pinnacle, an ancient Di-Gata training temple. On the way, they face the Obelisks, an army of war machines created for Nazmul by Flinch. Erik and Kara stay behind to try and stop the destruction, while Seth and Mel head for the Pinnacle to hopefully cure Mel of her wizard attacks. At the Pinnacle Seth must face Omniaxor, his father’s Guardian.
- Dark Descent - The Defenders discover The 'Machine of Binding' and Erik devises a plan to re-wire the machine to enable it to draw the pure stones to it. Their plan is foiled by an attack and as Erik lies gravely ill, a strange metamorphosis is taking place within Seth. It’s a change that will affect Seth both physically and psychologically and which may affect the outcome of their mission.
- The Cycle - Nazmul has undertaken a secret quest for immortality that sends his team to an underground palace which once housed an ancient King who is rumored to have achieved eternal life. The Defenders arrive at the palace only to unleash an ancient force that may well rival the Megalith in its ferocity. In the process they discover a secret that plants the seeds of doubts as to the rightness of their mission. Is re-binding the Megalith the right thing to do? Do they dare to defy the traditions they have been taught since their training began?
- What Lies Beneath - The Defenders stop to help a caravan of refugees fleeing the war ravaged countryside for the safety of the Arboth. Brackus and his Mercenaries also descend on the village of Arboth, having identified it as the source from which the pure stones were carved. Seth deserts the Defenders as they attempt to help the peaceful Arbothians repel the invaders.
[edit] Main Characters
Seth (voiced by Noah Cappe)
- Seth is the leader of the Di-Gata defenders. He is skilled, confident, charismatic, creative, and decisive. He is also impatient in battle and headstrong. Formerly, Seth controlled the Nova Stone, an extremely rare Henge Stone which once belonged to his father, but the stone is now in the possession of the stone forger Brim.
- Seth specializes in the Dako and Nega sigils, and his spells commonly involve dark energy attacks. His former Guardian, Kragus, was an earth-based giant, but Kragus was destroyed and subsequently merged with Seth. Seth now has Kragus' strength and tough stone skin, but as a side effect, he has become more aggressive. The physical side effects become more apparent in "What Lies Beneath", as his body begins to form more like Kragus and even develops a heat blast from his mouth. His new guardian is Omniaxor who previously belonged to his father. However, since Kragus's body was destroyed by Omniaxor, Seth is reluctant to summon the latter.
Melosa (voiced by Martha MacIssac)
- Mel is patient and level-headed in battle. She is well-read given the years sequestered in the dojo library. Mel loves music, and is constantly singing and humming during the long journey. This drives the others crazy, especially since she's tone-deaf (however, this was only shown in the first three pilot episodes). She may have romantic feelings for Adam, but certain events between the two may have strained these feelings.
- Mel specializes in the Yan and Sum sigils, and her attacks are generally ice-based. Her Guardian is Draykor. Melosa keeps her Guardian stone in a special, one of a kind, spell-amulet she wears around her neck. Also, after several ordeals, it is confirmed that Mel is a Wizard of Yan, and as of recently, she has managed to gain control over her powers.
Erik (voiced by Dan Petronijevic)
- Erik is a skilled strategist. He can always seem to find a way around any attack. He is a technological tinkerer and has a good head for designing and building electronic gizmos. He tends to speak in technical jargon, however, when he works on technology, much to the confusion of (most) others. Erik is extremely protective of his sister Kara. He also frequently overdramatizes situations (eg. In the episode Knowledge, Eric sees a sea monster and lets out a piercing scream, which the others repeated later much to his dismay!), wants to do things in a challenging fashion (eg. In "What Lies Beneath", he wanted to go over the gate using a pulley/grappling hook-like system into Arboth until Kara just decided "Or we can try the doorbell."), and sometimes is a bit of a coward. Lastly, he has been shown to be wary of matters concerning the supernatural, especially Melosa's Wizard powers.
- Erik specializes in the Infinis and Ogama sigils, and his attacks are fire and machine based. His Guardian is Robotus.
Kara (voiced by Stephanie Beard)
- Kara is the youngest of the Defenders, and considered by the others to be the least skilled. Kara is very strong-willed and determined. The others (especially her big brother, Erik) always feel the need to protect her, but in fact she is more than capable of taking care of herself. Kara wears a pair of cybernetic boots made by Erik (she cannot walk without them). The boots are both an asset and liability to Kara, since they allow her to jump great heights and give her greater balance, but are vulnerable to various types of electronic interference. Beneath her boots (also shown in Vitus), she wears stockings that resemble jika-tabi.
- In the episode "The Cycle", it is revealed by Flinch that Kara's body is ideal for channeling Sigil energies. As such, Nazmul wishes to use her body as a host for his power.
- Kara specializes in the Altas and Yin sigils, and her spells are wind and electricity based. Her Guardian is V-Moth.
Professor Alnar (voiced by Maurice Dean Wint)
- Alnar is the old mentor of the young Defenders. He is the brother of the evil Nazmul, but unlike his brother, Alnar is kind and caring. He is sometimes seen by Mel, but only at great times of need. At those times, Alnar is invisible to others. Alnar teaches Mel about the power of the Wizards of Yan--since Melosa herself has confirmed she is a Wizard of Yan.
- Alnar was the one who appointed the current Di-Gata Defenders with the task of finding the four Pure Stones, and to recast the Spell of Binding. However, it is very likely that he is keeping certain details secret from the Defenders.
Lord Nazmul (voiced by Lawrence Bayne)
- Once a loyal Wizard of Yan, Lord Nazmul fought for the forces of good alongside his brother, Alnar. But greed, corruption, and the promise of eternal life clouded his mind of all reason. He betrayed his calling by forming the evil Order Of Infinis. His goal is to gain access to enough realm energy to complete a powerful spell that would offer eternal life to him and his followers. Nazmul's current form looks like a skull attached to a robotic body, though at one point he was human. Nazmul is so powerful, his current body is deteriorating, so he needs to find someone who can hold incredible power - someone like a Defender (i.e. Kara), to be his new body.
- Nazmul is extremely dangerous as he is one of the very few beings who control's the Altas sigil by specializing in all Eight Power Sigils. So far, however, he has not used his spells in battle. Nazmul's guardian is the Megalith, who is currently trapped by a spell in the four 'pure stones'. However, it is revealed in "The Cycle" that Nazmul may not be the Megalith's creator.
Brackus (voiced by Juan Chioran)
- Brackus is chief adviser to Lord Nazmul, and a powerful force in his own right. Preferring not to get his own hands dirty, Brackus heads up a staff of underlings to do his dirty work for him. However, he is still very powerful in his own right. He is proud and headstrong, and often finds himself second-guessing his Master. He believes that Nazmul's quest for eternal life is fruitless, and wishes that the Order of Infinis would simply use its power to conquer the realm. Brackus has committed betrayal by secretly taking the Ogama Pure Stone for his own purposes. Unfortunately for him, Lord Nazmul already knows of his treason.
- Brackus specializes in the Dako and Infinis sigils. His guardian is Anaconduit, a Cobra like snake. It's powers mostly rely on the constriction of enemies (wrapping) and can enduce electrical discharges through its tail or mouth.
Flinch (voiced by Ron Rubin)
- Flinch is a brilliant scientist and inventor but also a sniveling coward. He prefers to work alone, but is often sent out on missions because no one else can work out how to use his machines and gizmos. He is a smart-alec with a sharp wit and a quick tongue. However, when it comes to physical confrontation you'll see a different side of him - his backside - as he runs away in terror! Flinch often teams up with his complete opposite Malco, to form a villainous but often bumbling evil duo.
- Recent events (from "Dark Descent" and onward) have had Flinch being threatened (often by the Defenders) into performing heroic deeds, that are much to his distaste.
- Flinch specializes in the Yin and Infinis sigils, and his attacks generally involve terrorizing his enemies with spirits and ghosts. His guardian is Dreadcrow, a scarecrow-like Guardian.
Malco
- Once a powerful Di-Gata Defender, Malco was in constant pursuit of perfection. His contempt of his peers eventually led to the rift that saw him change sides and join Nazmul's growing army as a blind follower of the Order. Malco is a mountain of a man, and lets his actions speak louder than words. Rather than worry about minor details like strategy and precision, Malco prefers to bulldoze headlong into a battle using his unparalleled strength and skill to his advantage. He is easily provoked into fighting by those who dare to insult him.
- Due to his immense size and power, Malco does not use a Guardian. As far as he is concerned a Guardian is a crutch for weak casters. He prefers to go head-to-head with the biggest and toughest of Guardians and generally comes out on top, due to the fact that an accident in battle fused him with shield stone energy.
- Malco specializes in Yin and Dako sigils, and his spells are all about powerful attacks.
Snare
- A vicious bounty hunter with a cold attitude towards the Defenders, Snare is a powerful enemy to defeat. He wears a metal mask every time, and when removed, it reveals his darkest secret. Snare is a lizard-like creature with quick agility and speed. He wears many gadgets that help him at times, and has deep yellow eyes that are easy to recognize.
- Snare's most valued of ideals is the freedom to do whatever he pleases, as he mentions in the episode "Escape from Ogama-Gor". He also seems to be quite wealthy, paying a sizeable amount during an auction for the Dako Pure Stone in the episode "Den of Thieves".
- He specializes in Sum and Yin sigils. His Guardian is Slither, a small animal Guardian that multiplies when attacked.
Adam (voiced by Jeremy From)
- Adam is largely a mystery to his friends and enemies. He meets the Defenders under suspicious circumstances and joins the group on their quest for short periods. However, it's impossible to tell where Adam's true loyalties lie. 'Once a thief, always a thief' and Adam was one of the best thief in the realm. Although he prefers to fast-talk and barter his way out of a duel, it doesn't mean he's not a skilled stone-caster when he has to be. Melosa at first has a crush on Adam, but the events that followed may have strained their relationship.
- In "The Town that Time Forgot", he gave Melosa his useful Phase Stone as a parting gift.
- Adam specializes in the Yin, Yan and Infinis sigils and his spells are sneaky and trap-like effects, like cloaking (Assassin, but he can also cloak without spell via his own cloak) or binding targets. His Guardian is Firefox.
[edit] Supporting Characters
Aaron the Strong
- Aaron was Seth's father and leader of the previous Di-Gata Defenders. He sacrificed himself to help the Wizards of Yan to cast the Spell of Binding on the Megalith.
- His guardian was Omniaxor.
Bo
- A brash young stone slinger who traveled with Erik and Mel to a cult fight to obtain eternal glory. He was willing to do anything to become known, even if he had to fight to the death. The Defenders taught him the true meaning of being a warrior. In "Dark Descent", Bo had followed clues to the Yin Pure Stone (He then calls it the Hero Stone), but got transported with the stone to the Binding Zone where he fought Malco and Flinch. He then demanded to have his stone back but Seth (aggressively) told him that being a hero isn't about fighting bad guys or collecting Pure stones. At the end of the episode, Bo still learned nothing.
- Bo is often fond of recording his own adventures using a voice recorder on his wrist.
- He specializes in Yin, Dako and Infinis sigils, but due to his poor skill, he is prone to miscasting.
Brim
- The carver of the Pure Stones. Brim had been hiding in a mountain from Infinis guardians for twelve years. He build robotic birds called the Kihn to keep himself company. His peace was shattered when the Defenders took shelter in his home. He absolutely didn't want to help them because of the way his inventions were used for evil. But they reminded him of what he held for human life and at Seth's request, he carved the Vitus stone. When Brakus sieged his home, Brim put his equipment on overload so he and the Defenders could escape. Outside, he took off on his jetpack, with the Nova stone from Seth that he used to create the Vitus stone.
Infinimora
- A king who knew the secret to immortality, had fused with his guardian, becoming Infinimora. He kidnapped Kara as his new body, because of her ability to channel sigil energy. However, the defenders, with the help of Flinch, sealed the king's spirit in his guardian stone while destroying the guardian. Flinch escaped with the stone to give to Nazmul.
- Infinimora has the appearance of a two-headed mummy. He is capable of firing bandages at other and hold wizard like power that enable Infinimora to create digata stones.
Kali
- A reptilian shapeshifting agent of Nazmul who was assigned to find her master a new body. Kali saw Kara as a suitable host for Nazmul because of the young one's great potential. She posed as a fallen Defender, Rayald, who was traveling with them to the Nexus. Putting a band on Kara's arm, it allowed Kali to enter the Nexus without being rejected. Changing into the Nexus Keeper, she tricked Seth, Melosa and Erik into thinking that the sigil energies that sustained the Nexus were out of order. However, Namoor, the true keeper of the Nexus, discovered the plot and smashed the armband, banishing Kali from the Nexus. She is presently pursuing the Defenders.
Madam Lisel
- The leader of a circus band and its fortune teller. When the Defenders helped out the traveling troupe, Lisel told Melosa her future. However, she was having trouble with her guardian, the Eye, who was controlling everyone wearing stone necklaces. With the help of Mel, they defeated the Eye and returned it to its stone form. In a Rougon base, Lisel told Kara that Nazmul is coming for her. She then appears in the Infinis Keep, informing Brackcus how to obtain the Pure Stones.
Zad
- A mysterious humanoid anteater who guided the Defenders to the monastery of Amos-Yan and to an elevator shaft. He later appears in the location of the Dako Pure Stone, helping fight off Malco and Flinch. He even gives Kara a sigil spirit to see when is happening to Melosa. Zad's most recent appearance was in the Rougon base, leading Kara to Madam Lisel.
[edit] Guardians
Guardians are creatures that live in Di-Gata stones. They are made of pure energy, and each one usually varies in size, appearance and the abilities it carries. Most are bound to a Sigil (eg. Kragus is summoned from a Dako stone), but some are bound to henges (eg. Anaconduit may have the Order of Infinis henge engraved on its forehead, but it's stone is a henge of Nega and Infinis.) Commonly, when a Guardian is defeated or has been out for too long, it returns to its stone. However, Guardians can still be killed.
Draykor
- Draykor is Melosa's guardian. She appears as a small ice dragon. Unlike other guardians, Draykor lives within Melosa's necklace. She is the smallest guardian among the others.
The Eye
- Madam Lisel's guardian. It has two forms: a crystal ball and a giant Y-shaped creature. In its giant form, the Eye can shoot laser beams powerful enough to break through Kragus. In ball form, the Eye can tell an unspecific future.
- When the eye returns to its stone form, Lisel is certain the Eye won't trouble her. However, she is also certain that she will never be free of it.
Kragus
- Kragus was Seth's guardian, resembling a rock giant. At first, Seth wanted a dragon, but when Krakus took a few of his stuff, he began to like him. He is sometimes called "Big Guy", even in his small form. Kragus was destroyed by Omniaxor but transferred himself into Seth's body, giving Seth enormous strength and power. However, the merge also gave Seth Kragus' aggressive personality.
- The merge takes a drastic toll on Seth's body in "What Lies Beneath". For now (at this point) the top half of his body, his neck and his right arm have turned rock. Although he was offered a piece of Di-Gata Ore from Melosa in Arboth (which would purge or separate Seth from Kragus at the cost of Kragus), he decided not to because he didn't want to lose him again.
Megalith
- Formed from much of Rados' sigil power, the Megalith is the most powerful guardian ever created. It serves as Nazmul's guardian whose job is to make havoc for its master. It was sealed with the Four Pure Stones but as the years went by, it slowly began to breaking through the seal.
- Though it was at first believed that Nazmul created the Megalith, events from the episode "The Cycle" may have proved otherwise.
Omniaxor
- Omniaxor (also called Omni) was Aaron's guardian. He appears as a three legged, pot-bellied giant. After the Spell of Binding was cast, the Gatashin Monks placed him as protector of the Pinnacle, which infuriated him. For a long time, he became convinced that the Wizards of Yan sacrificed the Defenders. When the Defenders came to bring Melosa's wizard powers under control, he engaged Seth in battle. In the process, he destroyed Kragus for getting in the way. However, Melosa emerged under complete control of her powers, sending Omniaxor back into his stone.
- In "Dark Descent", Seth summoned Omniaxor to ask him what happened in the location of the Spell of Binding but Omniaxor returned to his stone, unable to bear the sight of the Spell Zone. He is the only known Guardian who has the ability of speech.
- In "What Lies Beneath", he reveals to Seth that he didn't mean to destroy Kragus and cause Seth to become what he is. While revealing this Omniaxor shows he is very regretful of his actions against Seth and for destroying Kragus. He later pledges himself as "The Guardian of Seth, Son of Aaron".
Robotus
- Robotus is Eric's guardian. He is a robot like guardian and has many gadgets and tools. He is alot like Eric, and is able to fix a lot of things. Robotus is capable of transforming his body into multiple anatomies. Outside of battle, Robotus sometimes will appear in a small toy-like form, which often serves as a kind of comedy relief.
V-Moth
- V-Moth is Kara's guardian. Although her name, V-Moth suggests that she is a moth, she actually resembles a wasp. She is the second smallest guardian among the others, the smallest being Draykor. V-Moth is capable of firing an energy shot from her stinger.
[edit] Organizations

[edit] Games
There are currently 2 games available for this show-ATV racer game and Di-gata online, which is in production, but playable. (Not in beta version) Di-gata online and the ATV racer game can be accessed through www.digata.com. The ATV is also available on www.teletoon.com In Di-gata online, they have four provinces unlocked, each containing a quest and re-playable mini-game after finishing the quest for that province. The battle arena is currently playable, but it has some bugs in it. Also recently, Di-gata.com has released a new battle training game based on the tradiing cards/stones game. One of the cool features of the online games are the webcode features. These webcodes are provided for exceptional performances during the game and gives you Di-Gata stones.
The Web codes are:
fl1nch m1lc2 n1zm2l 1ln2r
Notice how they are like Flinch, Malco, Nazmul and Alnar? Notice how only the Vowels are numbers, the vowels are numbered, like the first vowel is 1 , the second vowel is 2 , and there are two letters between the word with 2 vowels
[edit] Stones
Di-Gata Stone's draw upon the mystic energy that simmers below the surface of the realm, and unleash it in the form of pure power. Each warrior has a different arsenal of Di-Gata stones. In battle, a warrior must choose how to use his stones to maximum effect, analyzing and opponent's strengths and weaknesses and deciding when to unleash their most powerful attacks.
There are six types of stones, each having a different role of a Di-Gata battle.
Warrior Stones are rare. A Warrior Stone exudes energy in many different forms, from an explosive fireball, to a high-voltage bolt of lightening. In battle, warrior stones are combined with Booster Stones for an additional burst of power.
Booster Stones are common. These stones are used to enhance and strengthen the effect of a Warrior Stone. More booster stones added to a cast will result in more powerful attacks but will also increase the chance of a miscast. Only the most experienced casters use more than one or two Booster Stones at a time.
Shield Stones are common. These defensive stones are used to protect the caster from an opponents attack. The caster must choose wisely how many shield stones to use in a battle. The more shield energy used, the less powerful you will be in attack.
Guardian Stones are ultra-rare. These stones are home to powerful creatures known as Guardians. Each Guardian has different attack and defensive powers. The Guardians vary in size and strength, but even the least powerful among them are a valuable asset to any duel.
Henge Stones (also called Champion Stones) are ultra-rare. These enormously powerful stones are extremely hard to come by, and with good reason. Because they already contain the combined Sigil known as a henge, they never fail when cast. The energy levels of the henge stones are also much greater than those of traditional power stones, making them a dangerous addition to any casters arsenal.
Aqua Stones are special stones. Since the above stones draw on power of the land (the exceptions are Guardians and Melosa's wizard powers), they cannot work on deep, large bodies of water. This is where these come in. Aqua Stones draw on the power of the sea and are carved from enchanted Sea Rocks. Like the stones of the land, they can form henges to make more powerful spells.
Although the Di-Gata Defenders have some Aqua Stones themselves, they are rarely used (In 3 episodes). They mostly use them to form magic bubbles around them. This allows them to do 3 things
- Overcomes one of their weaknesses, they cannot swim.
- If they need to return to the surface with their speeder bikes
- Survive underwater with no fear of water pressure and oxygen loss
[edit] Power Sigils
There are currently nine (The ninth one, called Vitus) Power Sigils, each used to tap into a unique aspect of the realm's energy. Individually, each Sigil is capable of unleashing a burst of raw energy, but when used in combination with each other, the energy aspects blend together to form a Henge. Not only does this create a far greater concentration of power, it also allows access to other kinds of powers.
OGAMA, the sigil of Order. To study Ogama is to seek control and order in all things, even in chaos.
INFINIS, the sigli of Eternity. To study Infinis is to learn and understand the universes’ constant circle of life.

VITUS is the sigal of Renewal. It is a new sigil described in the episode Vitus. Vitus is the ninth sigil. Seth has a Vitus stone and can only be used once apparently said by the stone carver. It is used on Melosa after she is taken over by the megalith in 'One Down'.
Greg Collison said in the Di-Gata forum that there will be 2 more new sigils.
[edit] Henge Stones
The Phase Stone The Phase stone apparently was owned by Adam and given to Melosa. It allows the passage through objects and possibly more. It has the henge of Yin and Infinis.
Nova Stone The Nova stone is that it was owned by Seth's father and then given to him. It is extremely rare and has great power. When Seth cast it in The Key to Victory in order to defeat Malco, it looked like a huge ball of powerful lightning. After it defeated Malco, it attacked the defenders. It is taken by the Original carver of the Pure Stones in order to make the Vitus stone. Though at the end of the episode, it is shown that Seth was tricked into giving the Nova Stone to the carver. It has the Di-Gata (Ogama and Nega) henge on it.
There are possibilities of more henge stones existing.
