Spell Punks are mysterious wizards in the Skylanders franchise. They use their magic to cause mischief, and most of them work for Kaos.

Abilities

Different Spell Punks have different abilities, either supporting their allies or attacking the player. Each of them has the power to wield one of the elements of Skylands or a completely different ability, varying in different appearances and attacks. When they are defeated, the Spell Punks disappear in a billow of magical energy corresponding to element.

In later games after Skylanders: Giants, Spell Punks are capable of defending themselves by firing bolts of magic at the Skylanders. Some of them even have different elemental abilities to help assist other enemies. In Skylanders: Battlecast, they are among the more common enemies in each realm. All Spell Punk's have base 40 power and 160 HP. Spell Punks also carry a special elemental wand that takes effect whenever a spell from it's element is played; they can also craft cards of their respective elements to assist in fighting.

Story

Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master

A guild of Spell Punks played a role in creating the Mask of Power millennia ago for the Nightmare King, who was a follower to The Darkness and wanted to destroy the Core of Light.

Skylanders: SuperChargers

Within the first book about The Darkness written by Pomfrey, it is revealed that in the distant past, the Spell Punks unearthed the Dark Rift Engine to awaken The Darkness, to which they succeeded.

Other appearances

Skylanders: Battlecast

In Skylanders: Battlecast, Spell Punks of various elements lead bands of Chompies and other enemies in non-Boss missions, almost always carrying an Elemental Wand, a Gear with the ability to attack alongside an Elemental Spell, and Craft spells that can summon elemental cards. Strangely, they have entirely different voices than in previous games, saying battle cries and grunts of frustration in warped intelligible noises.

Trivia

• No one knows what Spell Punks look like beneath their giant hoods, but many suspect that their heads are as pointed as their hoods.
• All eight Spell Punk elements have a small version of their element symbol on the middle of their robe. In the first two games and Battlecast, they also had different swirl patterns on their hats (with Tech Spell Punks having a chrome texture instead).
• Most, if not all, of the spell punks in Spyro's Adventure use the original early Spyro's Kingdom element symbols on the middle of their robe. Whether this was intentional or accidental is unknown.
• In Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master, Spyro mentioned that Spell Punks don't usually work together.
• A Spell Punk is mentioned in Buckshot's backstory: a villain that attempted to banish every Sky-Faun from Skylands by trapping them in another realm.
• Starting from Swap Force, which was developed by Vicarious Visions, the Spell Punks have a more sinister appearance and throw magic beams in a manner similar to baseball. However, in Skylanders: Battlecast, Spell Punks retain their original appearance.
• As of Imaginators, Earth and Tech Spell Punks are the only two elements that haven't returned in an mainline game since the first game.
  • Both Spell Punks appear with their Spyro's Adventure models in Battlecast.
  • Earth Spell Punks were meant to sppear in SuperChargers, but were scrapped. They however did appear in Secret Agent Secrets, using the Swap Force design.
• Life Spell Punks are seen more often than the other Spell Punks of the different elements.
• Raven Summoners have an similar design to the Spell Punks seen in Swap Force.
• The older Spell Punk models in Spyro's Adventure and Giants appear to have large claws for arms, unlike the arm-like appendages in the newer models. When they are not casting any spells, the older models constantly scratch their claws together.
• In Skylanders: SuperChargers, the Fire Spell Punks' color scheme has changed to that of the Time Spell Punks' from Skylanders: Swap Force, rather than staying red.
• In Spyro's Adventure, a scarlet Spell Punk of an unknown element can be seen assisting Undead Spell Punks in summoning Rhu-Barbs.
• In Skylanders: Giants, Life Spell Punks use higher pitched Drow Lance Master sounds, Elf Healers also share these sounds with Life Spell Punks
