Wow, James, that sounds intriguing...
I'd love to hear more. In fact, I just made up some more.
I have a feeling that one of my magicians (not in the present; at least
seventy years back) had gained his amazing power (either directly or
indirectly) from the six gems that were in his possession. When he realized he
was growing old, he knew he must not leave the gems unattended lest they fall
in the wrong hands; so he took under his care 5 young apprentices, and trained
them well. On his deathbed, he divided the gems among them. The last and most
powerful gem - the true secret of his powers - he took with him to the grave.
The magicians became later known as the Big Five.
(I hope you don't mind, I just reevaluated my Big5 history (all in my mind
till now) and saw how much the gems fit in... so this is a renedition.
Whaddaya think?)

I think it sounds like a fine springboard for a series of stories. One of the
apprentices could find his master's tomb (which they all thought was
impenetrable) has been disturbed and the 6th gem has been stolen. Extrapolate
from there into a big mystery, the apprentices all accusing each other of the
deed, and so on.
There is only one other thing, the idea reminds me of the chain of sporting
good stores that we have here on the west coast named Big 5. I guess it keeps
making me want to think that one of the apprentices is an expert in camping,
one in bicycling, one in tennis, etc...

Ho wow. I didn't even think of such a thing.
In my "at the present" CW story, the apprentices have been magicians for a
long time (no, I won't tell you who they are! But you can guess a few,
maybe...) and altho' their stories are unknown, the results are pretty clear
(because you know who's alive now, who's not, who is in exile, etc :), at
least to the minifigs... of course I won't tell CW the story OR the results
until the right time comes! Mwahaha!

Well, my bicycle apprentice made me a bike; you can run, but I can ride faster!
