*<b>Energized Crystal:</b> When shot with the [[Light Beam]], the crystals become lethal to Ing that step within the crystal's light.  The effect lasts only a short time, and does not replenish Samus's health any faster than the neutral light crystal.

*<b>Super Crystal:</b> Samus may use her [[Annihilator Beam]] to charge the crytals.  In this state, crystal light not only becomes lethal to the Ing, but also attracts them towards the light source.  Supercharging the crystals with the Annihilator Beam is an easy way to deal with the tougher [[Warrior Ing]] and the [[Hunter Ing]].  [[Darklings]] are still harmed by the supercharged light, but are not attracted to it.  The effect lasts only a short time, and does not replenish Samus's health any faster than the neutral light crystal.

*<b>Nullified Crystal:</b> When shot with the dark energy, the light crystal temporarily loses its effect.  Samus may nullify a crystal herself with a blast from the [[Dark Beam]].  The nullification may be reversed with a shot from either the Light or Annihilator Beams, or with a charged shot from the [[Power Beam]].  Crystals nullified by [[Amorbis]] cannot be recharged by Samus; her attempts will simply ricochet off the dark energy.
