Toa Power
"Before their eyes, the Toa Stones began to pulsate and then rose into the air. Beams of elemental energy shot from them, bathing the Matoran in light, changing them, granting them power. When it was over, the Matoran had become Toa Metru, designated guardians of Metru Nui."

Toa Power is latent energy within all Toa and Matoran destined to become Toa.
Properties
Certain Matoran are imbued with the energy at the time of their creation.[citation needed] Once the energy is triggered by an outside source, at a proper time, the Matoran transforms into a Toa.[2] Toa can manipulate this energy in various ways, such as making Toa Stones, as well as healing beings with major injuries. Minor injuries are typically repaired using tools, or fixed by having the damaged component swapped out.[3] Unlike Elemental Powers, Toa Power cannot be recharged if it is used up. When Toa's destinies are completed, they have the option to sacrifice all of their Toa Power for a greater good; if they give up their Toa Power, they become Turaga.
Toa Power has been used in the following ways:
- Being channeled into and stored within Toa Stones[4][5]
- Activating a destined Matoran's latent Toa Power[4]
- Healing physical injuries[6]
- Reviving Matoran from stasis within Matoran Spheres[4]
- Forming a Toa Seal[7][8][4]
The Nui Stone can drain Toa Power from all Toa within a 3000 Kio radius. A Toa can then tap the stone, greatly amplifying their elemental powers.[9] Marendar, a Toa killer developed by the Great Beings, detects Toa by sensing their Toa Power.[10]
Trivia
- The amount of Toa Power that a Toa has has never been quantified. Based on the Toa Metru, six Toa collectively have enough power to form one Toa Seal,[7][8][4] create six Toa Stones,[5] heal a mortally wounded ash bear,[6][11] and revive several thousand[12] comatose Matoran before ultimately running out of power.[4]
- The Avohkii was infused with Toa Power. When Takua donned it, the mask acted like a Toa Stone.[13]
- A single Toa could create more than six stones, seeing as they only need to use a small amount of power to trigger the power already inside a Matoran.[14]
- The stars above Metru Nui could reveal Matoran with latent Toa Power. Makuta Teridax read the stars to learn that Nuhrii, Vhisola, Orkahm, Ahkmou, Tehutti, and Ehrye were destined to become Toa, and instead planted the idea of choosing Vakama, Nokama, Matau, Onewa, Whenua, and Nuju into Lhikan's mind in an attempt to alter destiny. However, unknown to the Makuta, the Great Spirit Mata Nui knew of his treachery and had changed the stars. It was also Mata Nui who planted the names of the destined Toa Metru into Teridax's mind.[15][16] The Order of Mata Nui also knew about the true Toa Metru from the stars,[17][18] and planted false evidence to further convince Teridax.[19][16] The Order also found out about Krakua's destiny through reading the stars.[17]
- According to Jerbraz, Matoran with latent Toa Power can sometimes be recognized as eccentric, as if their brain knows something that it is not telling them.[20]
