Brilyante ng Hangin (English: Gem of Air / Air gem) is one of the five elemental gems. It is the mystical manifestation of the element, Air. The Brilyante ng Hangin is the mystical manifestation of the element air. After the Mother Gem was split in pieces, Cassiopeia decided to give the Gem of Air to Mine-a, the Queen of Lireo, to serve as their own share of power and protection. According to Imaw, this gem is the source of breath of all living creatures in Encantadia.


Powers and Abilities[]

The Brilyante ng Hangin, as its name suggest, has power over air and other relative elements. Specific abilities are exclusive to the Brilyante ng Hangin is listed below:

  • Aerokinesis - The mystical ability that can create, control, shape and manipulate the air and wind. On the hands of its guardian, the user can create powerful howls of wind, powerful cyclones and destructive towering tornadoes.
    • Asphyxiation - Since the gem of air is fabled to be the source or giver of breath for all the living beings in Encantadia, the gem also has the power to take it away. Keepers of the gem has showcased this on numerous occassions, such as Minea on her fight with Adhara, and Amihan when she nearly cursed all Hathors for their invasion in Lireo. This method can also be done by forming a string of wind to act as a rope that will strangle someone around the throat, just like what Amihan did with Hitano.
    • Emphatic Air - The ability to use wind as a conduit in sending someone a message or have the recipient feel the current emotion of the Keeper. This was once used by Amihan when she uses the gem to make Lira, her daughter, to feel her longing for her.
    • Mist Generation - The ability to intensely gather moisture in the air to form a dense mist. Amihan used this ability to protect not only herself but her forces from LilaSari's gaze when they attempted to retake the Brilyante ng Tubig.
    • Breath Tracking - The ability to track objects to discern their location mainly by the use of air. When the user is looking for a living being, the air gem will track their breathing.
    • Levitation/Flying - The ability to fly by surrounding oneself with circling winds. The keeper can use this on his/her own advantage, to dodge attacks or scour areas in the air and can also be used against or to others.

Amihan[]

After the Gem of Fire was stolen, Mine-a decided it is best if she entrusts a gem to each of her daughters for safekeeping. Mine-a entrusted the gem of their race, which is the Gem of Air to her second-born daughter, Amihan, who later became queen. Amihan used it mainly for battle purposes and locating people. She held it unto her possession until her final moments. Because a gem cannot die with their current keeper, Amihan passes its ownership to Danaya to prevent causing casualty.

Abilities granted to its owner[]

The gem grants its owner with the power to control the air and wind. If the beholder already has this power, its owner's strength is heightened and diversified, enabling the person to control the air, wind and coldness. In this sense, the beholder can change air currents, conjure oxygen in areas without it and transform into the air itself. This gem is sometimes used to send messages to other people. The gem can also be employed in detecting the presence of nearby beings by tracing the sound of their breaths. Amihan used this power twice: first, to find Alena after the latter gave birth to Kahlil and second, to confirm the safety of Cassandra who ventured out with Wahid, Apek, and Wantuk to Devas.
