Magical Warrior System

In the Crystalverse, the **magical warrior system** (Japanese: **魔法 戦士 システム** *mahō senshi shisutemu*), also called the **Harmony System**, refers to the system of abilities granted to Chosen Ones by Kyubey and the Magic of Friendship, as well as the use of Pokémon with special supernatural abilities outside of everyday battle. Initially seen simply as powers given by the Magic of Friendship and Ancestral Deities, it was later revealed to have temporary consequences to the ones that use it.

## Purpose

The purpose of the magical warrior system is to give Chosen Ones a very special task of protecting the Multiverse from evil, including the Vertex. Those who have a high aptitude are chosen as magical warriors for this reason. If a Chosen One ends up getting involuntarily corrupted or otherwise is forced into evil without their consent, the Magic of Friendship and other Chosen Ones will lose contact with them and it is the job of the Chosen Ones to retrieve them. However, these Chosen Ones sometimes retain abilities of their true natures that can give them away, such as being able to hear Pokémon talk or possessing an Element. While it is sometimes possible to free them by reminding them of their true selves or using the Elements of Harmony, the easiest and most efficient way to do so is the use of a Chosen One wielding the Light of Hope.

Some Chosen Ones themselves are also former villains who were not brainwashed and had a change of heart on their own free will, and the Magic of Friendship recognized their changes of heart. This usually manifests in their Element of Harmony being Forgiveness. So far proudction-wise, the only ones who have said Element are Mira and Alondra, as well as Tsukiko and Honoko in the far future.

However, some people who are Chosen Ones aren't given much magic or the ability to transform despite them still always having a Harmony/Cutie Mark and an Element of Harmony. This is usually due to the Magic of Friendship choosing them and deciding they'll be perfectly fine being a messiah. These people may sometimes transform when needed, usually when their will to protect somebody they care about or help their friends is very strong or when the special powers granted by their part-time transformations are needed in the particular situation.

On rare occasions, a Chosen One's powers will be bound to another Chosen One's powers, requiring them to be together to transform. This usually happens when they are very close friends or siblings and their transformation item is generated when one item is summoned but splits into two. The only notable case production-wise so far is the duo fo Avvy and Dolores. When these duos have a severe argument or conflict with each other, neither can transform until they apologize and make up.

The magical warrior system is also capable of compensating for disabilities or impairments such as poor eyesight or even removing them entirely while the Chosen One is transformed. So far production-wise, the only known example is Kylie's bouts of severe pain caused by the shard of the Emperor's Throne not occuring.

## Elemaximum and Sange

*Main Article : Elemaximum and Sange*
Elemaximum is the main part of the magical warrior system. The magical warrior is able to access all of their accumulated power at once in an explosive release of strength far beyond what they could ordinarily access. However, there is a price for either using such power or overexerting themselves as their bodies are unable to cope with the strength. Called Sange, the magical warrior loses a piece of their body (ex. voice, leg, parts of their memories, sight in one or both eyes) each time this happens.

## Abilties

* Super Strength

The magical warrior system app also grants them other abilities:

* A chatting app, known as "Magical Warrior Chat"
* Having all other active Chosen Ones automatically listed in the user's contact list
* A radar, which has two functions:
	+ Shows where the magical warriors and the Vertex are in the Jukai
	+ Detects where villains other than Vertex are outside the Jukai
* Forestize
* A map, which also has two options:
	+ Option for magical warriors to check on each other
	+ Option that shows how close the vertex is to the Shinju. It also shows their statistics like height.
* All PokéDex functions, which eliminates the need for a normal PokéDex, a Rotom Dex or the Arc/Rotom Phone

## Trivia

* Unlike other verses, the Harmony Gem can be summoned if the button at the center of the screen is pressed. When the button is pressed once, it will activate and usually cause the magical warrior to transform, but pressing the button twice will only result in the Harmony Gem coming out.
* There are two main error messages:
	+ For messiahs, if they press the button once and try to transform when it is not necessary, an error message will appear on their phone saying "Sorry, unable to initiate transformation. Please try again later."
	+ If the magical warrior's emotional state is unstable, an error message will appear on their phone saying...
		- Japanese: "Sorry, unable to establish link with the Shinju-sama due to unstable emotional state."
		- English: "Unable to establish spiritual link with the Divine Tree due to unstable emotional state."
* In "A Friend's Promise," when Cheren attempts to transform, an error message instead appears on his phone saying "Unable to initiate transformation due to unstable emotional state," confirming that the system will not work if the magical warrior is having serious doubts about themselves.
* The following phone variants were used for the system:
	+ Arc Phone - Season 1
	+ Regular Phone - Season 2
	+ Rotom Phone - Season 3 onwards
	+ Hoof-Phone - All seasons (Four-legged Creatures only)
