Toa Stone

Toa Stones are normal stones that a Toa has given an amount of their Toa Energy (not to be confused with elemental energy) into. When activated on a Suva, a destined Matoran will become a Toa and the Toa whose energy was in the stone becomes a Turaga.

Toa Stones in the story

 * 1) The set Toa Lhikan gave to Vakama, Nokama, Matau, Onewa, Nuju and Whenua.
 * 2) The set the Toa Metru hid on Mata Nui. Later Takua found them and placed them on a suva. Instead of transforming Matoran into Toa, the stones sent the Toa Mata's Toa Canisters to arrive at Mata Nui.

Misconceptions
Below are some common misconceptions about Toa stones and what they can do. Example:A Toa of Plasma would not make another Toa of Plasma out of a Po-Matoran, but instead make a Toa of Stone since a Po-Matoran's element is Stone.
 * No matter what the Element of the Toa who created the Toa stone, the Matoran will become a Toa of the element they were as a Matoran.
 * Only Matoran can become Toa. Except for the Rahaga.
 * Toa Stones are not the only things that can create Toa. When Takua put on the Avohkii, he transformed into Takanuva. Lightning from the Red Star also transformed the Toa Inika. Roodaka also transformed the Rahaga back into Toa Hagah via her Rhotuka.
 * A Matoran would not be transformed into a set form by a Toa Stone but it would transform the Matoran into what it thought a Toa would look like. For example,the Toa Metru transformed into their forms because that is what Toa Lhikan looked like.
 * The Toa Inika had unique transformations because of the Red Star.
 * A Toa can only make 6 stones.
 * If a toa put all their power in toa stones, they would still be toa untill the stone was active.
