The Hearts (W.I.T.C.H.)

The Hearts of the planets are one of the main points in the comic W.I.T.C.H. and the animated series of the same name. The most seen Heart is the Heart of Kandrakar (which was changed to Candracar by Disney for the animation) due to the fact that it is the main power source of the Guardians, the protagonist's of the show.

Heart of Kandrakar

The Heart of Kandrakar is the mystical Heart of the planet Kandrakar, the realm at the centre of the universe that is home to the Oracle, whose job it is to look over the universe and protect it from evil, such as when the Council of Kandrakar raised the Veil to protect other dimensions from the threat of Prince Phobos.

Heart of Meridian

The Heart of Meridian is the mystical Heart of the planet Meridian. Elyon Brown naturally has these powers as part of her heritage as rightful ruler of Meridian. The Heart of Meridian played a large part in season two of the animated series. It was taken by Nerissa who tricked Elyon into accepting a jewel from her mother's crown, which absorbed her magic and after it was fully absorbed tricked her again into making her willingly give it up, taking her powers in the process.

Powers

* Generate waves and lightning bolts of energy and force.
* Manipulate physical reality, changing it at will.
* Create portals between Meridian and Earth, including ones that alter the matter that passes through it (she was able to shrink the Guardians and Caleb when they travelled to Meridian through a portal she created).
* Open folds, holds in space in time to Earth, Meridan, Kandrakar, Zamballa and other worlds.
* Generate ghostly images of herself, similar to the Astral Drops. These illusionary copies are capable of moving independently of Elyon, but have no shadows, nor do they react as a real person would. If they are touched they disappear.
* Project an astral form, partly transparent, even between Meridian and Earth. Unlike her ghostly copies, this form is the true Elyon, and she is able to use it to communicate.
* Teletransportation.
*Open portals in the Veil erected by Kandrakar.
* Telekinesis.
* Flight.
* Influence minds.
* Become invisible.
* Phase through walls and presumably other solid objects.
* Depict scenes of the future in drawings (though Elyon uses this power unintentionally and without knowledge of it). This can be seen as a type of premonition.
* Have power over the other five elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Quintessence.
* Trap others in an impenetrable transparent bubble prison.
* Bind others with energy ropes (as she did with Phobos after defeating him).
* Temporarily remove other's body parts, as she did with Taranee's mouth to stop her from warning the Guardians. This can be seen as reality warping.
* Change her appearance (Glamour). This can also be seen as reality warping.
* Make ice appear or freeze anything or anyone.
* Element of light.
* Trap people inside pictures.
*Create a deadly blow of pure energy.

Heart of Zamballa

The Heart of Zamballa, like the Heart of Kandrakar is a jewel, but is shown to be a partially living being. Kadma consistently talked to the Heart, asking to be lent its power and to help "their" subjects, even occasionally asking for advice. The Heart, alike the Heart of Kandrakar has its own spirit, and is the owner of its own power, but is controlled by its holder.

The Heart of Zamballa was held by Kadma, and was later passed on to Ironwood.

Powers

* Creates force-field prisons.
* Increases the natural abilities of its holder.
* Teletransportation
* Creating bolts of energy or light,
*Helps the holder and others communicate with the Zamballans at once.
* Creates a shield
* Creates an impenetrable prison bubble.Following the examples of all other mystical Hearts shown, The Heart of Zamballa can also probably open folds in space.

Heart of Earth

The Heart of Earth is the mystical Heart of the Planet Earth. The power belongs to Lillian Hale, the younger sister of Cornelia Hale, the Guardian of Earth, but it was decided that Lillian was to young to have the power as it was beyond her control, so Cornelia and Matt Olsen made Lillian give her powers to her "Regents of Earth", who were Matt, Mister Huggles and her cat Napoleon.

Powers

* Reality Warping.
* Glamouring.
* Turns drawings, thoughts or even stories into reality simply by wishing.
* Create glamour zones where the reality follows her wishes and rules and might be different from the outside world. The zones are surrounded by an invisible wall, and look normal from the outside. When one steps into the zone, they automatically become part of its reality.
* Teletransportaion (including other people).
* Endow others with powers.
* Shooting blasts of pure energy.
* Superstrength and superspeed
* Give animals abilities, like talking.
* Telekinesis.Following the examples of all other mystical Hearts shown, the Heart of Earth can also probably open folds in time, as well as maybe have the power to create impenetrable prison bubble.

Heart of Aridia

The Heart of Aridia appears in the episode "V is for Victory", where Nerissa tries to take a third Heart. The Heart of Aridia is a giant rock being who can speak, feel, think and move. Because the Heart of Aridia does not show anything from his power, it is unknown what kind of abilities he has. Probably he is able to open folds in time like the other Hearts can.
