Elemaximum

**Elemaximum** (エレマックス, *Elemax*?) is a special power granted to Guardians who have expended a great deal of magic, granting incredible power unique to the user for a limited time.

## Process & Abilities

Every Guardian has a Elemaximum Gauge on some part of their uniform in the form of either a five-petaled flower or a five-part version of their Harmony/Cutie Mark. Using large amounts of magic or blocking powerful attacks will cause one of the gauge's five petals/parts to light up, and once all five petals/parts have been lit, the Guardian can activate their Elemaximum form. However, once all five petals/parts are lit, a Guardian's Elemaximum will activate automatically if they do not actively use it for some time.

The user's Guardian outfit changes into a combo of their Stage 5 outfit and a long robe with detached sleeves (the latter being a uniform reminiscent of traditional *Miko* uniforms). Their weapon will also become a much stronger version of their main weapon. A Guardian can also activate Elemaximum by sheer will power even not transformed, although this is dangerous.

Some Elemaximum forms grant special moves by expending much amounts of energy. For example, Sandra can take the form of a large bird and shoot additional lasers from it's wings and Teryn can do a combined surge of energy from all her lasers. The users of Elemaximum can also move to great speeds floating and even move freely from their stationary positions.

Once the user has either used Elemaximum for an extended period of time or overexerted themselves, the user will soon feel weak and start falling with their Elemaximum enhancements, which will start dissipating into flowers/sparkles, and the Guardian will be back in their civilian form. At this point, the Guardian undergoes the Sange.

### Great Blossom

A sub-type of Elemaximum is entitled **Great Blossom** (グレートブロッサム, ***Great Blossom***?). Kyubey expends all of her power to give the Guardian the ability to destroy the attacks of any strong evil (like Lecousia). Due to the way it was used in the final battle of Season 16, however, Kyubey lost the ability to make contracts in the new timeline until she met Victoria all over again.

## Sange

*Main Article: Sange*
Elemaximum involves Kyubey granting a portion of her own power, combined with a Elemental spark, to a Guardian, and thus it requires a sacrifice in return. This sacrifice is called the Sange (*falling flowers*). After a Guardian's Elemaximum dissipates, they will temporarily lose a bodily function in return: for example, the usage of a limb or one of her senses. The Sange doesn't usually remain, but if that happens due to accidents after the Sange, then the more times a Guardian uses their Elemaximum form, the more parts of their body they will (somehow permanently) sacrifice for the Sange. After Sange, a Guardian's outfit will be modified to help make up for any missing functions. Luckily, however, someone who knows a healing spell can quickly remove the effects of sanging, thus restoring the lost body part muck quicker than normal.

Sange was soon removed from the new timeline following the wish that ended the original timeline (to erase all Witches).

## Trivia

* Mikos do not use this power, since they do not have much power in combat except for receiving oracles. They still sange if they overexert themselves, however.
* This form can be considered a sub-level for a Guardian of Harmony.
* When using Elemaximum and the Elements of Harmony at the same time, there may be a chance that heavy sanging will occur.

		- (WIP)
	+ Times that this didn't happen:
		- S1E12
* This form serves as the equivalent of MLP:FiM's Rainbow Power and YuYuYu's Mankai.
* Some Guardians in their Elemaximum form do not have the usual design:
	+ Nanette looks more medieval due to Vahirom's power. Her theme colors of purple and pink are also replaced with light gray and yellow.
	+ Nijiko/Elizabeth gains clothing in both the English *and* Japanese versions, though her outfit isn't a robe - it is a more NoWaYu-esque outfit.
	+ Shawn, Kylie, Chiffon, and Melissa have unique Elemaximum outfits due to the fact that they have tails and are meant for underwater battles. It is currently unknown what it looks like, however.
* If one uses Elemaximum too many times in a single battle, they will not be able to take part in the next battle. Avoiding the break may be considered dangerous.
* A Guardian can only use their Elemaximum for 5 minutes. The timer counting down is indicated by one part of their Elemaximum Gauge disappearing per minute similar to the timers on the heroes' Miraculouses countingcdown with each passing minute in *Miraculous Ladybug.* After the timer is up, they will automatically revert to their civilian form and then sange. Unlike *Miraculous*, however, adult Guardians still have the timer. The only exception to the timer is seen in "Behaver Yourself" with Marina, and the removal of the timer is never seen again after this.
