[[Image:Motes.PNG|right|frame|Six examples of motes.]]

A '''Mote''' is a small being of magical energy taking a specific elemental or environmental form. Most motes are fragile Battledome items with low offensive or defensive power.

==General Overview==
Motes are [[item]]s categorized under ''Brightvale Motes''. Motes were originally categorized as [[Magic Item]]s, but this changed on ''(need date)''. Though they are considered items, they are living, a fact all the more true from the [[Book]] '''The Water Mote''', which tells the tale of one such Mote.

As of August 2011, there are the following Motes:

{|

*Air Mote
*Ash Mote
*Bubble Mote
*Dee Mote
*Dirt Mote
|
*[[Dung]] Mote
*Dust Mote
*Ee Mote
*Electrical Mote
*[[Fire]] Mote
|
*Frost Mote
*Gold Mote
*Hail Mote
*Hair Mote
*Ice Mote
|
*Lava Mote
*Metallic Mote
*Mud Mote
*[[Neopian]] Mote
*[[Plushie]] Mote
|
*Ree Mote
*[[Robot]] Mote
*Rock Mote
*Salt Mote
*Smoke Mote
|
*[[Snow]] Mote
*Vicious Mote
*Water Mote
*[[Weewoo]] Mote
*Wood Mote
|}

There is are five motes and 3 Novas that are only featured in the [[Neopets Trading Card Game|TCG]] card sets. The following motes and novas are listed as followed:
{|
|- valign="top"
|
*Ultranova
*Dark Nova
*Nova
*Fog Mote
|
*Air Mote
*Fire Mote
*Water Mote
*Rock Mote
|}

There are 12 motes and 2 nova motes that are found in the [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]] video game, these following motes and nova motes are:
{|
|- valign="top"
|
*Leaf Mote
*Light Mote
*Wind Mote
*Shadow Mote
*Sun Mote
|
*Fog Mote
*Fire Mote
*Lava Mote
*Rock Mote
*Water Mote
|
*Bubble Mote
*Air Mote
*Supernova Mote
*Nova Mote
|}

There were 5 old mote images on neopets until they were redesigned. The following motes that were changed are:

*Water Mote
*Lava Mote
*Ice Mote
*Bubble Mote
*Frost Mote

==Nova==
[[Image:Novas.PNG|frame|right|All novas currently in existence.]]

Although called a ''Magic Item'', a '''Nova''' is considered a Mote due to it's ability to hold all elements of magic within it, and not just a single one as regular Motes (a fact established in [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]]).

Magical Novas have a different degree of power in each form. They are:
{|
|- valign="top"
|
*Nova
*Supernova
*Dark Nova
*Ultranova
|}

These Novas can be used in the [[Battledome]]. Most are single-use (also known as ''bombs'') and will disappear after being thrown at an opponent. Wands, Staffs, and Rods will create Novas of the corresponding type in the [[Battledome]]. For example, a ''Staff of Dark Nova'' will produce 2 Dark Novas each round it is used. Rods are considerably more powerful, because in addition to producing three Novas, they will also heal, attack, and defend, and they will not break. There is currently no '''Rod of Ultranova''. Due to their relatively high price and low power, only Ultranovas and Rods tend to be used in the Battledome.

There are ten more kinds of Novas that serve as minions for Dr. Sloth: Mecha Novas, Fire Novas, Pulsar Novas, Dark Nova, Light Nova, Friendly Novas, Attack Novas, Mecha Novas, Super Novas, and Ultra Novas. They are featured in the game [[Nova Defender]].

The ''Scarabnova'' is unique, because it can be considered both a Nova and a [[Scarab]]. It is [[retired]], obtainable only from the [[Brucey B and the Lucky Coin]] plot. In the Battledome, it either steals a Nova from the opponent or destroys them all.

The ''Grey Nova'' and ''Christmas Nova'' have no battle functions.

==Trivia==
*As of December 2006, Motes are featured in 115 different items.
*It is said the '''Black Cherry Slushie''' will "...create a taste supernova in your mouth."
*The ''[[Scarab#Battle_Scarabs|Scarabnova]]'' is a Battledome weapon geared against Novas. It may steal a Nova from an opponent, or create a sonic vibration which can cause all of an opponent's Novas to explode.
*The word ''mote'' means a very small particle (such as dust or sand), and may also be used here in reference to [[Wikipedia:Emoticon|emoticons]], a relationship noteworthy due to most Motes having a smile.
*A Mote avatar was released on May 23, 2007.
*The name of the mote '''Ree Mote''' is a play on the word ''remote'', as in a far distance. Likewise, ''Dee Mote'' is a play on ''demote'' as in depression and ''Ee Mote'' is a play on ''Emo" as in the emotional American subculture. This is depicted with its haircut.

Scratchcard

2008-08-06T13:53:50Z

74.195.250.14:

'''Scratchcards''' can be bought from one of the many scratch card koisks around [[Neopets]]. The first Scratchcard Koisk was found in [[Terror Mountain]] where one scratchcard could be bought for 600 [[NP]] every 6 hours.Later on the [[Haunted Woods]] koisk was added. Scratchcards bought from this koisk within the first few days were soon announced to be fake by [[The Neopets Team]]. These fake scratchcards can not be used at the koisk, and serve very little purpose except as a gallery item. The [[Lost Desert]] koisk soon followed.

Each koisk gives a different set of scratchcards and rewards a different set of prizes. The scratchcard received is random and some scratchcards are more rare than others. In addition to this, the time limit for buying scratchcards varies from koisk to koisk, but once a scratchcard has been purchased from a koisk, none can be purchased from any koisk until the time limit is up. Scratchcards from [[Terror Mountain]] are 600 np and can be purchased once every 6 hours, [[Haunted Woods]] scratchcards are 1,200 np and bought every 2 hours, and [[Lost Desert]] scratchcards are 500 np and can be purchased once every 4 hours. Scatchcards can be bought and sold or stored in a players [[Safety Deposit Box]], and you can only scratch 5 of each type per day.

There are currently two [[Avatar]]s that can be gained through the scratchcard koisks, from [[Sidney]] and Kiosk Wocky. The Lost Desert kiosk does not give an avatar.

Prizes for Terror Mountain: 
Level 1 ()- 
Level 2 ()- 
 
Prizes for Deserted Fairground: 
Level 1 ()- 
Level 2 (Three Bones) - Three Spooky Foods.
