A '''Mote''' is a small being of magical energy taking a specific elemental or environmental form. They tend to be breakable 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 January 2008, there are the following Motes:

|}

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]]).

Novas also come in different forms, having a different degree of power in each form. These are...
{|

|
*Nova
*Supernova
*Ultranova
|
*Dark Nova
*[[Grey]] Nova
*[[Christmas]] Nova
|}

All Novas (except ''Grey'' and ''Christmas'', which have shown no magic) can be used to power [[Battledome Equipment]], some of which are credited to be the most amazing in the [[Battledome]]. All Novas (except ''Grey'' and ''Christmas'') have a wand (which produces 2 of the nova) and a rod (which produces 3 of the nova).

==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''. Likewise, ''Dee Mote'' is a play on ''demote'' and ''Ee Mote'' is a play on ''Emote'' as in emotion.
