Pixels

The , also known as Little Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 5, page 163 in their various combined forms, are small magitronic devices created by Croix in order to absorb emotional energy and convert it into magical power through a process called Noir Fuel Spirit.
== Description ==
These devices are small and very numerous cubes that have a different color depending on the type of emotional energy they find absorbed (Red: anger - yellow: joy - blue: sadness - purple: hate - turquoise: fear - green: anxiety). Based on observation, pixels appeared to be composed of solid material (which may includes a processor to contain its programming) and become inert upon deactivated. While they can be dispersed into smaller forms, pixels apparently also designed to disintegrate into nothingness upon receiving sufficient damage.
Being close to strong emotional energy, these devices are able to absorb it and turn it into powerful magical energy. Depending on how much emotional energy they have, they will produce greater magical power. According to Croix's research, anger is the emotion that produces the most power.
By combining these artifacts, pixels can assume the form of different creatures under the user's control, including trolls, bird monsters, reptile beast, and giant spiders. They also show that they are able to enter into an object in order to manipulate it. Notable Pixel monster forms that they had are:
*Amorphous Tentacled Monster Form: To attack Akko, Lotte, and Sucy as they try to remove panels that block magic energies emanated by Luna Nova's Sorcerer's Stone at the New Moon Tower.
*Goblin Form: Posing as fake Goblin during the Faerie strike.
*Snake Form: For combating Ursula. Used during events of "Wagandea".
*Reptile Beast Form: To acquire samples of Dream Fuel Spirit and combat.
*Spider Form: To attack and restrain Akko. This form has a unique ability to fire restraining webs.
*Crow Form: For harassing civilians and attacking Sucy, Lotte, Amanda, and Jasminka during the Wild Hunt.
As shown in aforementioned goblin form, while Pixels' most delicate disguise not always perfect as they still retain their primary color scheme and neon glow of Noir Fuel Spirit energy which power them, they nonetheless enough to fool others on the first glance. Still, those who have affinity with living beings such as Jansson family with fairies and other magical creatures able to see through Pixels' disguise, describing them to be more of machine than their templates.Little Witch Academia Chronicles, Chapter 2, page 47

==Trivia==
*Pixels can be used to spy on those the user target.
*The symbol on the pixels resembles Ingwaz (ᛜ) Rune of Elder Futhark.
*Pixels' tendency to endow things they assimilated into their aesthetics (color scheme and symbol) can be compared to that of Galvanic Mechamorphs, a race of slime-like, techno-organic aliens from the Ben 10 franchise.
