| - The Mask of Power is an evil, dangerous artifact, and the title object in the Skylanders: Mask of Power series. It was created millennia ago by a guild of Spell Punks for their king, a follower of The Darkness who wanted to destroy the Core of Light. Combining their powers, the Spell Punks conjured up the Mask which is said to be able to tap into all known Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Life, Undead, Magic and Tech.
- The Mask of Power is an object when worn on the face grants the wearer any number of powers depending on the mask itself. Often it will get some backstory to explain its power, whether that's where the power comes from or what sort of power it is. Perhaps it was the facial representation of some deity, or it may have been worn by some ancient ruler or mage, or maybe it was connected to some vaguely defined tropical mysticism. The latter point is possibly influenced by the preponderance of masks in Tiki culture. Compare Hat of Power, Ring of Power, Crystal Skull.

Combining their powers, the Spell Punks conjured up the Mask which is said to be able to tap into all known Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Life, Undead, Magic and Tech. No one knows what the Mask of Power does, but the Spell Punk king had tried on the Mask, which triggered catastrophic events such as The Forest of Life being set ablaze, the oceans boiling away to nothing, and zombie sheep going on a woolly rampage. The Spell Punk King was eventually defeated, and the Mask of Power was broken into eight pieces, which were hidden across Skylands by the Portal Masters of Old so that they could never be found. Kaos now wants to find the fragments to reassemble the Mask of Power and use it to destroy the Core of Light, and it's up to the Skylanders find the fragments before the evil Portal Master does.

Then there's the symbolism of taking upon oneself a new face, the metaphor of looking through different eyes becoming literal as well as the sense that masks are just really badass. However the flip side of the power being in the mask and the importance of the "new face" that can have its own personality is that you can get a literal Becoming the Mask situation, with the mask taking over the character. Compare Hat of Power, Ring of Power, Crystal Skull. Not to be confused with Cool Mask, in which a character who wears a mask is assumed to be powerful but does not necessarily have power because of the mask itself. Examples of Mask of Power include:
