Gems of Motion and Stillness

The Gems of Motion (動宝 Dōhō) and the Gems of Stillness (静宝 Jōhō) are powerful treasures left from the Three Wise Ones, visitors to Beast who created the Laser Beasts. The Gems of Stillness serve to encumber the flow of their respective elements while the Gems of Motion encourage them instead. If the "energy balance" of the six is thrown off, natural disasters can and will occur. But there's still more to them than meets the eye...

They are split into three pairs, each pair representing the elements of fire, water, and wood:

• Fire Gem of Motion (火の静宝 Hi no Dōhō)
• Fire Gem of Stillness (火の静宝 Hi no Jōhō)
• Water Gem of Motion (水の静宝 Mizu no Dōhō)
• Water Gem of Stillness (水の静宝 Mizu no Jōhō)
• Wood Gem of Motion (木の静宝 Ki no Dōhō)
• Wood Gem of Stillness (木の静宝 Ki no Jōhō)

The elemental pairs can be alternatively described as "Gems of Water" (水の宝玉 Mizu no Hōgyoku), et al.

• The Japanese words Dōhō and Jōhō more literally mean "Motion Treasure" and "Stillness Treasure" (and "Motion Treasure of Fire", etc.), but a more loose translation based on hōgyoku is used here for convenience in English.
