A Jewel is a term used to refer to a person who has the innate ability to generate and manipulate Mana. Although, it is generally used to refer to people who have gone through Destiny Military Academy's extremely rigorous five phase entrance exam with perfect scores in three or more of the exam phases. 73% of Jewels in the world are females, while the rest are males who are genderbent by the activation of their Jewel capabilities, however, some males do remain male and are called, Warlocks.

Characteristics
Jewels are beings who have great talent in the use of Magic and some Jewels are born with Magical Powers. All Jewels emit Mana, which is unique to the Jewel's body, for example: a electrokinetic Jewel will unconsciously cause electronics in their surroundings to shut down and stop working more than any other person due to their Mana.

Regarding abilities, all Jewels can only be proficient in one type of Magic, for example: Sherria Amicus is an "Illusion Master" and is highly skilled in making illusions that effects reality.

Moreover, Jewel abilities are categorized as either Active, Passive or Programmable abilities. Active refers to a Jewel knowingly having to use her power to create a magical effect, whilst passive has the Jewel subconsciously effect her surroundings with their magic. However, both can be present at the same time in a Jewel, such as Celia Kurami's subconscious reversal ability.

Gemstones and speculation
Gems (or more commonly Gemstones) are the Psychic equivalent of Jewels and most Gems are born with various Psychic Powers, and the reason that the USA started to create Anti-Magic and Anti-Psychic weapons to compensate for their lack of Jewels and Gems. There are currently 1,759 confirmed Gemstones in the world.

In extension to this, it has been speculated that there maybe people who have not realized that they have powers, or that their certain propensities or idiosyncrasies, as subtle as a huge bust size, or multilingualism may actually be a Gemstone.

Unlike their magical counterparts, Gemstones can be proficient in many types of Psychic Powers, but strain their minds if they use too many at once and for too long. Much like Jewels their powers are categorized as either Active, Passive or Programmable abilities.
