**Miraculous superpowers** are special magical abilities granted by the Miraculous to their owners.

Each superpower is specific to the Miraculous it is associated with, corresponding to the abstract concept that the respective Kwami embodies.

## Description

Each Miraculous Superpower is unique to the Miraculous it is connected to. When a superpower is used, it starts a countdown, leaving the owner with only five minutes until the Miraculous loses power and the user detransform's back into their non-powered self. However, an adult Miraculous owner and any holder of the Rabbit Miraculous are not subject to this rule, allowing them to use their special superpower an unlimited number of times without their transformation dropping. Other than by using the Rabbit Miraculous, the only way known of how a younger Miraculous owner bypass that rule would be if they were akumatized and had their powers amplified by Hawk Moth.

Often, but not always, a Miraculous owners personal weapon is required to activate a superpower. If a power requires the use of the weapon, it can't be used if the user doesn't have access to the weapon (like if it got taken, or broken). Notable powers that don't require the weapon are:

* The Black Cat Miraculous superpower, Cataclysm, which doesn't require the Staff.
* The Butterfly Miraculous superpower, Akumatization / Kamikotization, which doesn't require the Cane.
* The Mouse Miraculous superpower, Multitude, which doesn't require the Jump Rope.
* The Ox Miraculous superpower, Resistance, which doesn’t require the Mallet.
* The Tiger Miraculous superpower, Clout, which doesn’t require the Bolas.
* The Rabbit Miraculous superpower, Burrow, which doesn't require the Umbrella.
* The Dragon Miraculous superpower, Wind Dragon, Water Dragon, and Lightning Dragon, which doesn't require the Sword.
* The Snake Miraculous superpower, Second Chance, which doesn't require the Lyre.
* The Horse Miraculous superpower, Voyage, which doesn't require the Horseshoe.
* The Rooster Miraculous superpower, Sublimation, which doesn’t require the Fountain Pen.
* The Eagle Miraculous superpower, Liberation, which doesn't require the Bullroarer.

Furthermore, a vocal command is required to activate a superpower. The vocal command is simply the name of the superpower. Notably, exceptions to this rule are the Butterfly Miraculous's Akumatization / Kamikotization and the Peacock Miraculous's Amokization, neither of which require a vocal command, though, this could be because both users of those Miraculouses already have their adult powers rather then children like the rest of the Miraculouses.

When a Miraculous owner uses Unification they can fuse their powers together in a combo-attack, but it's unknown what kind of fusion powers will occur depending on what two Miraculous are fused together. So far, the only fusion power seen is the expandable elemental shield when the Dragon and Ladybug Miraculouses are combined. When fused the powers of both the miraculous can be used and all the powers are usable.

In "Mr. Pigeon 72", it is revealed that the powers of the Miraculous holders are limited only by the limits they put on themselves. It is entirely possible from them to develop new powers simply by allowing themselves to do so. For example, the Ladybug Miraculous grants the power of creation, so Marinette is able to create Magical Charms to ward away Akumas. This development of new powers can possibly change the Miraculous wearers costumes. This information is not recorded in the Miraculous spellbook, as the Order of the Guardians were unaware of this.

Kwamis are capable of utilising their own superpowers without the presence of an owner. However, without a holder to channel and focus the power, it is unconstrained and results in some kind of catastrophe, as seen in "Style Queen" when Plagg used Cataclysm to destroy the Eiffel Tower, and inadvertently destroying half the city along with it. Plagg advising Ladybug to fix all the damage from this Cataclysm as quickly as possible suggests that even greater destruction was about to happen too. However, Kwamis are capable of exercising a moderate level of restraint with their catastrophically strong powers.

## Known Superpowers

Wielding a Miraculous grants its wearer the power of transforming into an animal-themed superhuman, and, when transformed, grants increased superhuman physical abilities, such as strength, agility, and speed, as well as near invulnerability. As well as some of the animal abilities, the kwamis were based of off.

Each Miraculous also grants the user a unique superpower that corresponds to the abstract concept the Miraculouses respective Kwami was born from. Some of these powers even have secondary attributes.

When the user activates more than one Miraculous at a time, they gain access to the powers of both, as well as the ability to combine the superpowers to create new, stronger superpowers.
