The Veil is a magical energy barrier created by the Oracle and the council of Kandrakar, separating the world of Meridian from other worlds. The council of Kandrakar did this to prevent Phobos from spreading his evil to other worlds.

Plot

Comics

In the comics, the Veil is dimensional separating energy, with twelve portals from Earth to Meridian in it, which the Guardians had been tasked to close with the help of a map, which showed to location of the portals.[1] The Guardians instead traveled to Meridian with the help of the portals, and worked with the rebellion to defeat Prince Phobos. After Elyon took control over Meridian as Queen, Kandrakar lowered the Veil.[2]

TV series

In the TV Series, the Veil is composed of a pink/purple energy that can contain things of any size.[3]

Season 1

In season 1, the Veil was introduced by Yan Lin as magic created to keep Meridian's evil from spreading to the other worlds. She tasked the Guardians with closing all the portals that open, so the evil does not escape.[4] They soon found out that they will not have an easy time closing all the portals.

Only 3 things can open holes in the veil:

  1. Time (as portals randomly appear throughout Season 1)
  2. The Seal of Phobos and later the Heart of Kandrakar once it absorbed the Seal gaining its powers.[5]
  3. Elyon's magic

Season 2

Pk

After the defeat of Phobos,[6] the Guardians were summoned to Kandrakar, via a violet portal, whislt there they saw the veil.With the help of the rest of the council the Orcale lowered the veil.[7] The mystic energy used to maintain the veil flowed into the Aurameres, granting W.I.T.C.H. new powers.[8]

During one of Nerissa's attacks on Kandrakar, the congregation decided to create a new Veil for protection. They mistakenly invited Nerissa (disguised as the Mage) into their mystic-link, giving her the power to capture them all in the new Veil. This new Veil could only be destroyed by the Heart of Meridian, which Nerissa had.[9] Once the power was returned to Elyon the new Veil was destroyed and the congregation freed.[10]
