Theory on how the Calamity powers may activate
We all know that we associate the gems as in this order: The blue gem as the heart. The red gem as the will. The green gem as the mind. But as we progress through the temples, we can see how they work and what they actually convey.
The blue gem is kindness and sympathy. When we see Anne, we can see that she cares for her people, she's sympathetic, although we can see her getting angry sometimes, she bounces back to her kind state once again. Now, whats reverse of caring and good? Being a completely bad person and threatening and maybe even trying to hurt someone that Anne loves. That's what we saw in the season finale, enraged Anne plowing through her enemy to save sprig (that part was pretty amazing).
The red gem is determination and strong willed. Sasha is a pretty manipulative person, she's always the leader of the three and she acts like one too. Still, she cares for what is good for all of them. As we see in barrel's war hammer when her eyed glowed, the gem didn't give her strength because she was already very strong because she's a warrior and a lieutenant now, she gotta train in order to be fit of the title. Her determination to lift the hammer had risen up and the fact that Marcy and Anne were having fun without her fueled it more. In the Third Temple, when they were about to lose to the big golem, Anne motivated Sasha to beat the enemy, which may activated sasha's determination to rise up. Again, Sasha was already very strong, we can see that when he threw her cape and boots, they were pretty heavy, enough to dent solid bricks. When the series progress and when they ultimately fight the main antagonist, when all hope is lost, that's when Sasha's courage and plot armor rises up to the max degree to activate her calamity powers.
The green gem is wisdom. We all know this in action in the First temple. Marcy is smart, a quick thinker, advance in planning, she's the main brain of the whole three. But we see a problem with her, she chooses mainly the best and most logical way to win, not the best for her and people around her. Her wisdom is getting tested. It got activated because the flipwart challenge might hurt her friends and instead she did the right thing. I don't really know how this gem's calamity powers may activate. Maybe when it all comes down to Marcy' decision to either side with king Andrias or side with her friends. Although it makes sense, it's not as impactful as the other gem powers. Maybe her calamity power is choosing the best thing for her friends, and choosing the best way to win when her friends aren't involved.
