Light of the World (gem)

The Light of the World is an enchanted diamond with the power to strengthen any spell and magic cast upon it and replicate its effects.

History
The gem was created thousands of years ago, but its creators deemed its power too dangerous for either side to handle. With no means to destroy it, the gem was cloaked with a spell to keep others from sensing its power.

The Lighthouse Keeper learned of its existence and tracked it down to the Ainsley family. Unfortunately, the gem could not be obtained by force. Rather it must be given willingly, either by the owner handing over the relic or through the hand of marriage. The keeper orchestrated to have Lyssa marry her fiancé, possess him days before the wedding, then take the jewel's power after the ceremony. The jewel conjured up sea monsters, caused discord among the wedding guests and nearly plunged the world into darkness. When the keeper's plan was stopped, the jewel reversed the magic.

Leo Wyatt then took the jewel and promised to find a new guardian for it.
