That's when Prisma's true colors are revealed that she is the evil Crystal Master, not Azurine. Prisma revealed that she has been jealous of Azurine, but now that she has her powers back, she imprisons her sister and plots to cover all of the Mystic Isles in crystals, draining all of the Mystic Isles' residents of their magic in the process. Fortunately, Amber has decided to make amends of her mistake, and working together with Sofia, Harumph, & Skye, she used Shattering Stone to return all of the Mystic Isles & its residents back to normal, free Azurine, strip Prisma of her powers. Foiled by Sofia & Amber, Prisma tries to run away after Azurine sadly states that she must be turned in to the Protectors, but Sofia, with Skye's help, caught up with Prisma & rescued her from falling off a cliff.

While Orion and Vega told Sofia about Vor, no one realized that Vor's spirit was freed after the Locket was in pieces.

Vor was vanished in a flash of light, and Prisma was returned to normal. And thanks to the combined efforts of the Protector's and all of Sofia's friends and family, Sofia and Prisma have been freed from the amulet.
