Power Rangers Mystic Force is the first Disney-produced Power Rangers series to feature the main villain in its Super Sentai counterpart, and is the first of the Disney-produced Power Rangers series in which all the actors playing the five core Rangers are of Australian or New Zealander descent (the casts of the three Disney-produced Power Rangers series prior to Mystic Force had at least one Ranger actor of North American

The city of Briarwood was struck by an earthquake, which was just enough to crack the seal, allowing evil to renew its attempt to invade the human world. The sorceress Udonna, realizing that the forces of evil had returned, sought out the warriors of legend, five teens living in Briarwood, to become the Power Rangers alongside her. While one of the teens was reluctant at first, he realized his destiny and joined the others in the fight against the Master of the Underworld and his numerous minions.
When Udonna loses her Ranger powers to the mysterious Koragg, it is up to Nick, Chip, Madison, Vida, and Xander to save the Earth on their own. They are assisted by Udonna's bumbling apprentice Clare, and eventually Jenji the Genie and his master Daggeron, the Solaris Knight.

Synopsis
Twenty years ago, in a magic-filled dimension parallel world to our own, the forces of darkness came into power and a war called the "Great Battle" between good and evil began. An army of the monsters, led by a powerful warrior named Morticon, swarmed into the land with their sights set on taking over the magical realm, the human realm and beyond, but they would have to combat a legion of brave and powerful wizards. The Mystics battled valiantly against overwhelming odds until they drove the evil back from the edge of the human world. The strongest wizard of all, Leanbow, cast a spell and sent the evil warriors into the Underworld, having the Gatekeeper seal the gates for all eternity. The forces of truth successfully thwarted the dark forces' attempt to take the surface world, but they lost Leanbow, as he made sure the evil forces did not escape by sealing himself on their side of the Gate. The human world would never know of the Great Battle, nor of the sacrifices made to spare their lives from destruction. Even to this day they live in peace and tranquility, totally unaware of what is about to awaken.The city of Briarwood was struck by an earthquake, which was just enough to crack the seal, allowing evil to renew its attempt to invade the human world. The sorceress Udonna, realizing that the forces of evil had returned, sought out the warriors of legend, five teens living in Briarwood, to become the Power Rangers alongside her. While one of the teens was reluctant at first, he realized his destiny and joined the others in the fight against the Master of the Underworld and his numerous minions.
When Udonna loses her Ranger powers to the mysterious Koragg, it is up to Nick, Chip, Madison, Vida, and Xander to save the Earth on their own. They are assisted by Udonna's bumbling apprentice Clare, and eventually Jenji the Genie and his master Daggeron, the Solaris Knight.
Using their powerful magic and incredible martial arts skills, the Mystic Force Power Rangers must rely on teamwork to save the day.

- Xenotome: The Xenotome is an ancient, mystical book and the Rangers' main source of magical information. Whenever the Rangers unlock a Spell Code, the Xenotome will explain the spell's function. The Xenotome is a fountain of untapped magical knowledge; hence it is called "The Book of The Unknown".
- Snow Staff: Udonna's own variant Magi Staff, and her personal weapon when she has morphed. It resembles the Red Ranger's Sword in length, but its "blade" is not used as such. It is capable of releasing blasts of wind cold enough to freeze an opponent in place and of firing energy blasts.

, creating a two-way telepathic connection which they can both use without the Snow Staff. When Udonna was captured and held captive in the Underworld, she was able to channel herself in Ranger form through the Snow Staff and assist the other Rangers in defeating Morticon. It was stolen from Necrolai by Leelee, who returned it to Clare to save Udonna, allowing Udonna to once again become the White Mystic Ranger.
- Mystic Morphers: These cell phones, which morph the Rangers with the call of "Magical Source, Mystic Force!", can perform spells via various digit-based codes that are entered into the keypad. They were originally magic wands, but Udonna changed them to suit the Rangers' liking.
- Magi Staffs: A compact staff carried by each of the five Rangers, with multiple functions.
- Axe Mode: An axe that the Green Ranger uses. It is capable of launching a ground blast when it strikes the ground.
- Crossbow Mode: A crossbow with which the Yellow Ranger can fire bolts of electricity. It was once used to fire the Dawn Crystal, a yellow, arrow-shaped crystal that temporarily destroyed Necrolai.
- Sword/Striker Mode: A sword brandished by the Red Ranger. Nick uses it to do a "Power of the Phoenix" attack where he becomes engulfed in fire for a powerful strike. Nick has recently referred to his sword as a Striker, which is a possible error on behalf of the writers.
- Wand Mode: The Magi Staff in its original form. In this mode, the Blue Ranger summon geysers under opponents or release water blasts; the Pink Ranger can turn herself into a tornado or fire energy blasts; the Red Ranger can conjure fire; the Green Ranger can use it to summon powerful vines to restrain his enemies; and the Yellow Ranger can fire lightning bolts. The Magi Staff is also capable of doing a Speed Spell Attack whereby all the Rangers gain more speed than any of their vehicles.
- Mystic Racers: Five large, futuristic flight vehicles used for transportation that are created 'around' old wooden brooms and revert to this form when not in use. They are kept on special revolving walls in Rootcore.
- Mystic Speeder: An extremely powerful motorcycle used by the Red Ranger, capable of traveling at high speeds. Its offensive abilities include launching a large front-mounted projectile and laser blasts.
- Mystic Force Fighters: Large, red boxing gloves capable of increasing the wearer's strength, speed, and stamina. They can be used by the five core Rangers, but were originally activated by Xander when he fought Skullington. Xander finished off Skullington by leaping high into the air and landing on his fist, causing a fissure. Nick later used them against Koragg, channeling his elemental powers and setting himself ablaze before launching himself at Koragg from within a flaming tornado in a move he called the "Spin Attack". Chip also used them in Soul Specter against Spydex.
- Solar Cell Morpher: Daggeron's morphing device is a cellphone-ticket puncher hybrid. Daggeron can also use the Solar Cell Morpher in conjunction with a variety of magical cards in order to cast various spells. Just like the other Rangers, Daggeron calls out "Magical Source, Mystic Force!" to morph.
- Solaris Laser Lamp: Jenji's home can be converted into Daggeron's personal blaster weapon. It can fire powerful lasers and can perform the Jenji Shining Attack to finish off opponents. In the episode Ranger Down, Madison used the Solaris Laser Lamp to destroy Screamer to restore the people that had been turned into feathers, including the other four Rangers.
- Magic Carpet: This enchanted carpet serves as the Solaris Knight's personal transport.
- Mystic Muscles: After learning his lesson in Inner Strength, Xander received a new spell code that granted him exaggerated muscles, with which he was able to defeat the Behemoth easily. It was only used twice.
- Legend Mode: A power increase for the five core Rangers, given to them by the Tribunal of Magic that transforms the Rangers into the Legend Warriors upon a call of "Legendary Source, Mystic Force!"'. Included are extra armor and the Mystic Lion Staffs. The Rangers lose their capes in this form and also gain small helmet adornments modelled after their corresponding mythological creatures; Nick's helmet has wings protruding from the sides, Chip's has lightning bolts placed similarly to Nick's, Madison's has a fin on the top, Vida's has wing-like ridges on the sides, and Xander's has bull's horns.
- Mystic Lion Staffs: These staffs are carried by the Rangers in Legend Mode. The end of each staff features a stylized lion head, with a rotary phone built into the mane. These staffs grant the Rangers the ability to cast more powerful spells and to transform into the Legendary Mystic Titans. During Light Source, Chip's Mystic Lion Staff became a Crossbow Staff.
- Ancient Mystic Mode: A form used by Clare, Niella, Calindor/Imperious, Daggeron, and Leanbow.
- "Mystic Sword": Daggeron (and Calindor at one time) sometimes wields a golden sword in battle. Leanbow also appears to have his own Mystic Sword while in his Ancient Mystic Mode; however, his sword is crimson colored and has jagged edges.
- Red Dragon Fire Ranger: The Red Mystic Ranger's Battlizer allows for a great power boost and allows him to combine with Fireheart to morph into the "Red Dragon Fire Ranger". Nick is then covered in blue knight-like armor, gains wings, wields two Battle Wands, and carries an activation device that looks like a red Solar Cell Morpher with a dragon head extension, the Fierce Dragon Morpher.
- Wolf Warrior Morpher: Leanbow's means of morphing into Wolf Warrior. Like Daggeron and the other Rangers, he calls out "Magical Source, Mystic Force!" to morph.
- Sword and Shield of Fire: Leanbow wields red versions of Koragg's weapons as Wolf Warrior.
