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.

The word ''mote'' means a very small particle (such as dust or sand). It may also be referring to [[Wikipedia:Emoticon|emoticons]], as most Motes have a smiling face.

Although called a ''Magic Item'', a '''Nova''' is considered a Mote due to its 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]]). There are two main kinds of Nova, the first being usable in the [[Battledome]] and the others being miscellaneous Novas with no function.


Although called a ''Magic Item'', a '''Nova''' is considered a Mote due to its 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]]).
There are ten more kinds of Novas that serve as minions for Dr. Sloth: Mechanical 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.
 
===Battle Novas===
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 [[Rod of Superniva|Rods]] will create Novas of the corresponding type in the [[Battledome]]. The Scrolls, however, do not produce any Novas, but do roughly the same amount of damage as the Scroll's respective Nova and can be used multiple times. For example, a ''Staff of Dark Nova'' will produce two 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.


Magical Novas have a different degree of power in each form. They are:
