* MoralityChain: Many of the Gems comment that Cairngorm's presence kept Phos relatively grounded throughout their worsening mental state and loss of body parts.

** Their greatest strength is the ability to retain their sense of self as long as shards of phosphophyllite remain in their body. While this is showcased with the additions to Phos' body throughout the series, it also applies to their body being whittled away. [[spoiler:Even the tiny shard of them left by the end of the world is able to be its own person on another planet, despite ending the series as a fragment so small it can't be shown on the page. The parts that break off onto the gem flowers will have that same ability as dust travelling their "universes".]]
