Description and history[]
The Fantasm jewels are the representation of the mystic power that feeds the Dream world. Being created almost with the world itself, they are sheltered in the deepts of Castle Vanity safe from evil hands.
During the events of Valis I, Rogles took over all Vanity kingdom and gave the Fantasm Jewels to his generals to protect them, but Yuuko managed to defeat them and take the Fantasm Jewels using their powers to defeat Rogles afterwards.
In the home computers (MSX2, PC-88/98 and Sharp X68 version) versions of Valis II, It's revealed that there was another one Fantasm Jewel in hands of a survivor Rogles general, Gaias. Megas wanted the Jewel to potenciate his Vecanta Cannon and destroy Vanity castle, so he sent his general Haizen to take the Jewel from Gaias, he accomplished the mission successfully, and the Fantasm Jewel was used to potenciate the cannon almost destroying Vanity Castle and capturing Valia, but the cannon overloaded and exploded, leaving the jewel buried in the rubbish. Reiko found It afterwards and gave It to Yuuko to defeat Megas.
After this nothing is known about the fate of the Fantasm Jewels as they never appeared or were mentioned afterwards in the series, but It's assumed that they are still stored in Castle Vanity under Valna's keep.
