 * ==Description==
 * Rita's Altar of Magic is a set of mystical equipment comprised of a small black altar with a white, humanoid skull sitting on a black, humanoid woman statue which also holding a matching crescent moon; and dozens of red candles where some of them flanked both statue and skull. A clear crystal ball, which acts as the set's primary instrument, sits before the statue. Through the same crystal ball, this set also linked to a smoke-filled dark room with candles for brainwashing purpose. Whether the room itself was a pocket dimension within the crystal ball itself or simply one of chambers within the Moon Palace remained ambiguous.


 * Since Rita learned the way of dark magic from her father the intergalactic dark lord Master Vile, it is plausible that the extraterrestrial witch crafted the set just like she did with her magic staff, if not acquiring it from her father.


 * Following the purification of Rita Repulsa and her evil husband Lord Zedd into their human forms by Zordon's cosmic Energy Wave (also known as Z Wave), the fate of this set remained unknown. It is implied that Altar of Magic set was either destroyed back at the now ruined Moon Palace due to the attacks by Machine Empire or stored away by Rita following her redemption and her magic's reemergence into the heroic Mystic Mother.


 * ==Usage==
 * This mystical altar set allows Rita to utilize complicated magic and rituals that cannot be performed with her staff alone such as:
 * Illusory Inducing Ritual: Rita can induce one or more targets with illusory magic with aid of Altar of Magic, which strength depend of used power and complexity of utilized spell. The greater the power and complexity of utilized spell, the greater its effect.
 * Zord Charging: Rita can perform a ritual with the magical altar set to activate zords in her group's possession such as Cyclopsis, Goldar's Zord.
 * Monster Summoning: Rita can also utilize the magical altar set to summon monsters. She notably used this function to summon Mutitus, Oysterizer, and Lokar.
 * Brainwashing: Arguably one of the most complicated ritual ever used with this magical altar set. After charging its skull with a magical lightning, Rita would prepare a victim who is then rendered unconscious and encased within bandages like a mummy and laid on a podium surrounded by candles within a smoke-filled room which linked to the set's crystal ball. Once preparations are completed, she then recites a spell to put the victim under her control. Once the process is completed, the victim, now completely brainwashed, emerged from his/her bandages which burns away. However, the brainwashing effect of this ritual seemed to either temporary or have some limitations, which explained why Rita later gives him Sword of Darkness (which incorrectly referred as Power Sword) to maintain it.

As a bonus, I just've figured out that Magic Wand, Rita Repulsa's staff in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, was crafted by Rita herself just like the one in 2017 film (but with dark magic taught by her father Master Vile, of course). What's your opinion about my findings in the message above? I was actually joking about the trip at "the Dark Side" just to figure out about Altar of Magic. Here's the real site where In found info about it.
