== Crystals with unusual properties == | |||
=== Radiation and/or luminiscence === | |||
The [[planet]] of [[Metebelis III]] was known for [[Metebelis crystal|blue crystals]] which emanated [[radiation]]. The crystals mutated [[spider]]s from [[Earth]] into the intelligent and [[telepathic]] [[Eight Legs]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]'') | |||
Radioactive [[Hymetusite]] crystals powered both [[Skonnan]] and [[Nimon]] technology. The [[Skonnan Empire]] demanded tribute of these crystals from the people of [[Aneth]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Horns of Nimon]]'') | |||
More trivially, [[Terileptil]]s used [[vintaric crystal]]s for lighting. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Visitation]]'') | |||
=== Time travel and time manipulation === | |||
[[Xion crystal]]s were one component of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]. When they got misaligned, this caused it to go off course. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Pinball Wizard]]'') | |||
The [[Crystal of Kronos]] enabled {{Delgado}} to create [[TOMTIT]] and to summon the eponymous [[Kronos]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'') | |||
The [[Borad]] used [[kontron crystal]]s to create the [[Timelash]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') | |||
=== Communication === | |||
The [[Black Guardian]] gave crystals to [[Vislor Turlough]] and [[Menlove Stokes]] to direct them in his plans against [[the Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Well-Mannered War]]'') | |||
=== Psychic energy === | |||
Certain crystals could focus and/or harness [[psychic energy]]. The [[Manussan|people]] of [[Manussa]] used the [[Great Mind's Eye]], a crystal artificially created in [[zero gravity]], to accidentally create the demonic [[Mara]]. The [[Little Mind's Eye]] destroyed the Mara. ([[TV]]: ''[[Snakedance]]'') | |||
[[The Great One (Planet of the Spiders)|The Great One]], leader of the [[Eight Legs]], for this reason sought the [[Metebelis Crystal|Great Crystal]] which the [[Third Doctor]] stole from [[Metebelis Three|her planet]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]'') | |||
=== Unspecified powers === | |||
* The [[Eternity Crystal]] was a crystal of immense power created by the [[Darksmith Collective]] for the [[Krashok]]s which was capable of reanimating life. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dust of Ages]]''-''[[The End of Time (novel)|The End of Time]]'') | |||

== Behind the scenes == | |||
According to the audio play adaptation, ''[[Seven Keys to Doomsday (audio story)|Seven Keys to Doomsday]]'', the [[Crystal of All Power]], capable of good or great evil, destroyed [[Masters of Karn|the Masters]] of the [[planet]] [[Karn]]. Consequently, the Masters broke the crystal into seven small crystals scattered across the planet, which the [[Dalek]]s sought to implement their [[Doomsday Plan]]. The [[Fourth Doctor (The Seven Keys to Doomsday)|Fourth Doctor]], or a version played by [[Trevor Martin]], also sought the pieces. This wiki considers neither ''Seven Keys'' nor the original play, ''[[Doctor Who and the Seven Keys to Doomsday]]'', a [[valid source]]. | |||
