I know I don't talk about my AUs as much as I should, but this is What the core is like in my skylanders AU, and the major components that make it up.
I call it "The Ancient Core" rather than "Core of Light" because all 10 elements are balanced within this version. And "Core" and "Corrupt" are the Good/evil elements as opposed to Light and Dark. Life and Light having a high and mighty/holy image in the eyes of many due to their close appearance to Core, and Undead and Dark having a bad reputation due to their close appearance to Corrupt. In Reality these elements are as equally good/evil as any other element. Core is the only purely good, and Corrupt is the only purely evil, as both of these portal master exclusive elements are all 10 of the standard elements combined and used at the will of their respective portal masters.
The Ancient disk- Crafted by the storm giants to be light, yet durable. Used to mark the location of the core's based buried in the island. Also acts as a funnel to attract the Eternal Air source.
The Twinspouts- carved from the golden teeth of an ancient leviathan. It uncovers the pipework to contain the forever flowing Eternal water Source.
Earthen Emerald- and Emerald with the most brilliant and perfect cut, found centuries ago by molekin, and the only thing pressurized enough to contain both the Eternal Earth and Magic sources, providing stability to the core.
The crystal eye- Crafted by the wise Cyclopes in order to house the Eternal Light source, shooting a brilliant beam of light up into the sky.
Mystic mushrooms- grown within a secret Grove guarded by the fae, these mushrooms provide extra nutrients for the Eternal life source, in order for it to safely balance with the Undead source.
The golden gear- Plucked from the machinery of the universe by the brave angel paladins, this Gear forms the intricate clockwork within the core.
Green primordial goo- formed from the fossils of ancient explodasoars who sank within the slimy depths of the Great swamp of Glorp, this substance oils the machine and provides an energy boost to the technological components.
Dark eye of tomorrow- Crafted by demons to gaze into the future, this is the only mysterious relic capable of housing the Eternal Dark source, in order to balance put the Light within the core.
Skull mask of Mortalamis: Mortalamis was the first ruler of the undead, despite not being a skeletal or ghoulish creature. His mask is sacred amongst the Undead, and thus was considered the only worthy vessel to house the Eternal Undead source within the core.
Crucible of the Ages- Forged within the fires of Dragons and Phenixes, two creatures that rarely ever got along, it contains the incredible heat of the eternal Fire source.
Quicksilver- a rare oil made up of pure mana, that truly binds all of the elements together and allows the Magic Source to dwell within the core. Only the arkeyans seemed to know how to obtain this mysterious oil, hence ancient arkeyan cities and fortresses being the only places to find it.
