Miraculouses (Trials of Sarahverse)

The Miraculouses are a variety of magical jewelry, possessing the ability to transform their wearers, with the help of the kwamis, into animal-themed superpowered beings.

### System

Usually, a Miraculous is assigned to an appropriate user with good intentions by a guardian, a human tasked with watching over the Miraculous and keeping them in a safe place when not being used. Miraculouses can be kept by their chosen users for many years as long as they are being used, and the holder is capable

Wielding a Miraculous without being chosen by a guardian or without one's approval comes with a risk as there is no guardian to help the Miraculous holder heal their kwami or, in some cases, to repair their Miraculous if it were to get damaged. Their ability to use the found Miraculous may be limited without guidance from its guardian.

Another option for getting a Miraculous is stealing a Miraculous and/or removing it from its user. Along with being vulnerable to being stolen if they aren't being worn, the Miraculous can be forced off the user by someone else when they are being worn, whether or not they are transformed. Despite being possible, it's less common to be able to steal the Miraculous when the holder is not transformed unless the taker knows what the Miraculous looks like when in its camouflaged form, which is even more confusing when the camouflage mode varies between different wielders. The only other way a Miraculous can be stolen would be someone who has one willingly exposes their identity.

Another way can be if a kwami along with their jewel becomes separated from their chosen owner, then they can work with and/or choose a temporary owner until they are reunited again.

Even though, kwamis can be renounced by their owners, it's revealed that they can do their own form of "renouncing", if the task of being a wielder is too great for them or least if the holder doesn't meet the kwamis expectations they can convince their owners to surrender their jewels without saying the renounce command. Afterwards the kwamis begin their search for new owners under their own judgement if a guardian doesn't or can't intervene or has their guardian's permission.

## Abilities

### Transformation

A Miraculous, when worn by someone and inhabited by its respective kwami, transforms the wearer into a costumed disguise based on its animal theme. In addition to the costume itself, some Miraculouses, while active, may alter the wearers physical characteristics, such as the color of their eyes and the shape of their pupils, the color, length and style of their hair, and/or even their skin pigment. The Miraculous must be verbally activated by speaking a transformation phrase that is unique to each Miraculous, based either on the characteristics of the animal the Miraculous is themed after, or the power the Miraculous grants, or both. A Miraculous is deactivated by the user speaking a detransformation phrase that counters the transformation phase.

How the costumes work is while the animal theme comes from the jewel itself and will always be the same, the design details that the Miraculous holders costume assumes when they activate their Miraculous are determined by what they wanted subconsciously, a reflection of their personality and will. While the costume a Miraculous holder normally shows is a natural reflection of their personality, it can change or be changed in accordance with the role said holder is meant to play or they choose to play if they focus only on certain traits of their personality, rather than just transforming without thinking like they usually would. A Miraculous holder's costume can change over time if the holders physical preferences are different with age.

Additionally, the Miraculous have the ability to magically disguise the identity of the wearer to human observers, regardless of how similar their civilian and costumed forms appear. If a Miraculous falls off or is removed from the holder while they are transformed, then they will immediately detransform back to their civilian self. A Miraculous does not need to be worn as intended to be used,

### Enhanced Physical Abilities

An active Miraculous grants the wearer enhanced physical abilities, like strength and agility, as well as near invulnerability. Some Miraculouses appear to grant the user greater physical skills than others. A Miraculous (or its owner's costume) is also capable of compensating for certain impairments, such as poor eyesight. However, the Miraculous cannot compensate for or heal its holders injuries. The enhancement can also allow a Miraculous wearer to survive in the freezing airlessness of outer space, though it is unknown exactly how long they could last. Some of them also give the owners the abilities of the animals they are based on, like how Sarah has enhanced hearing and night vision due to Lion DNA and its only increased by her transformation into Lion Hope.

### Tools

The Miraculous will provide the user with an omni-purpose tool which functions as a weapon, a communication device, a search engine, and in some cases, a mode of transportation, among a number of various other functions.

These tools are indestructible and can be used for defense. Each one is unique to the Miraculous and they come in a variety of forms, including toys, musical instruments, weapons, and more.

### Superpowers

Possibly the greatest benefit of the Miraculouses is that each one grants a unique superpower that corresponds to the abstract concept that the respective kwami embodies. Some of the Miraculouses' powers follow the theme of the symbolism that animal represents. Some Miraculouses can have the same type of powers but with minor differences, such as the Rabbit and Snake Miraculouses allowing the users to travel through time. However, while the Snake Miraculous gives the user the ability to transfer their consciousness to the point in the past when the power was activated, the Rabbit Miraculous gives the user the ability to physically transfer themselves to any point in time, regardless of any other physical instances they may have in the same timeline.

In the case of an underage wielder, their transformation lasts until the superpower is used, meaning they can stay transformed indefinitely if they don't use their superpower. Once the power is activated, an underage user only has five minutes until they detransform back to their civilian form. The countdown to the detransformation is made visual by the symbol on the Miraculous flashing and going dark one piece at a time. Before the wearer can transform again, the kwami needs to recharge by eating food. After activating their superpower, an underage user will not be able to activate the power again until they detransform, recharge, and transform again.

But that's not the case with all the powers as there are some fall under different rules when used by a minor such as with the Dragon Miraculous superpower it requires that all three powers be used before the holder detransforms back. Also following with Miraculouses that have powers related or connected to time where the uses are unlimited at least for a time range. However, becoming an adult holder and being able to use the superpower multiple times does not necessarily mean growing up in the physical sense. Growing up in the metaphysical sense would also allow the user to user their superpower multiple times.

Adulthood bestows unlimited use of one's superpower without the fear of their transformation coming undone. This is because upon entering adulthood, the Miraculous allows the holders to use their own energy to "feed" the kwamis and sustain their transformation and their kwami's power. However, even for an adult holder, the effectiveness of the Miraculouses powers depend on the kwamis strength; the more their powers are used without giving them a chance to eat, the weaker they become, and the weaker the kwamis become, the more their holder will suffer with them.

The powers of the Miraculous holders are limited only by the limits they put on themselves. It is entirely possible for them to develop new powers simply by allowing themselves to do so, while still keeping to the kwamis concept.

### Transformations with Multiple Piece Miraculouses

For Miraculouses that come in multiple pieces, like the Ladybug and Goat Miraculouses, the rules are a bit different. The user needs to wear both pieces for the Miraculous to work. If only one piece is removed, then their costume will disappear gradually, since the Kwami would be in both pieces of jewelry, one of which is still being worn. The costume would return to normal if the missing piece is put back on. It's currently unknown if a Miraculous transformation would still work with the one remaining piece.

### Kwami Domination

A kwami is under the command of their Miraculous holder. When their Miraculous is not in use, a kwami can roam freely outside of the Miraculous, unless their Miraculous holder sets limits for how far away from them they are allowed to go. Additionally, when a transformation phrase is spoken by a Miraculous holder, the kwami is pulled into their Miraculous, even if they do not wish to be pulled in. The only known commands that a kwami can refuse are revealing the civilian identities of other Miraculous holders and guardians. A spell cast on the kwamis prevent them from divulging such information.

### Miraculous Unification

A person can wear and activate more than one Miraculous at the same time. When activating more than one Miraculous at the same time, the user is able to call upon the powers and use the weapons of both Miraculouses. Additionally, their suit takes on a hybrid form, combining aspects of the suits of each individual Miraculous. To invoke a fusion transformation, the Miraculous holder must say the names of the kwamis whose Miraculouses they wear and wish to fuse, and then say "dual metamorphosis" .

To return to civilian form from a unification, the owner must say "reverse morphosis". However, if the user wishes to instead depower one Miraculous while leaving the other active, the user must say the name of the kwami they want to release and say "divide". An alternative way to unfuse would be to speak the detransformation phrase of the Miraculous whose kwami they want to release.

It's also known that the use of too many Miraculouses simultaneously may have very severe consequences to both the body and mind of the wearer. Such as just from wearing every Miraculous from a single Miracle box results in a minor fatigue.

If someone has many Miraculouses and are hasty in trying to use them all, the more jewels a holder fuses, the more physical and mental energy they need to handle the strain. If a person fuses four or more together and don't give the kwamis time to recharge with a snack or overuse their powers, it will result in magical electrical discharge that causes the holder great pain, leading to both the holder and kwamis getting exhausted quicker. If this course of action persists, fatal damage to both the holder and the kwamis could ensue.

### Destruction of Miraculous

While the durability of the Miraculouses are unknown, there are instances where they have been damaged or destroyed, such as by other forms of Miraculous magic like Cataclysm. The also seem to be much less durable when in their camouflage mode. There are a few ways they can be repaired, such as by using the Miraculous Ladybug restoration power, or by someone who has the knowledge to fix them. It is currently unknown if they can be remade from scratch.

For the destruction of Miraculouses that have multiple pieces it's same as a single piece, but all of the pieces must be destroyed for the kwami to be returned to it's non corporeal form, but it's unknown in the event what will happen to a kwami of a multiple piece Miraculous if at least one piece is intact.

The Miraculouses are what grant the kwamis their corporeal form. If a Miraculous were to be destroyed, its connected kwami would not be harmed or killed, but they would revert back to their original non-corporeal form and no longer be detectable by physical beings.

## Miraculous Potions, Power-ups

*For more information, see Miraculous Potions*
The **Miraculous potions** are potions that can modify the powers of a Miraculous holder either by having their kwami consume them or something with their essence inside before a transformation or by the Miraculous holder them-self consuming a Miraculous potion or something with their essence inside while transformed. Once either has provide extra abilities to their Miraculous holders. The extra powers will only last for a single transformation.

After the potion or something with their essence inside has been consumed, depending on who consumed the power up, different phrases must be spoken the in order to activate the extra powers, If the kwami was the consumer, the Miraculous user must speak the transformation phrase of their Miraculous. If the Miraculous holder was the consumer, they must speak the activation phrase "power up". To deactivate the effects of the potion and return to their regular superhero form, the Miraculous user must speak the deactivation phrase "power down". To transform back to civilian form from powered up form, the detransformation phrase of the user's Miraculous must be spoken.

## Modes

The Miraculouses were made as various types of jewelry, ranging from earrings to necklaces to rings to brooches to hair combs to pocket watches and more. However, all of the Miraculouses have three distinct modes: charged, activated and camouflaged.

### Charged

In its charged mode, which happens when the Miraculous is inhabited by its kwami, meaning that either the Miraculous isn't being used by anyone, or that its holder is transformed, the Miraculous takes on a more colorful, exotic design in this mode that better resembles the animal that it represents.

### Camouflaged

In its camouflaged mode, which occurs when the kwami is outside the Miraculous, meaning that its possessed by a holder who is not currently transformed, the Miraculous takes on a more dull appearance.

### Activated

In its activated mode, a kwami isn't inhabiting the Miraculous and the Miraculous hasn't yet been claimed by an owner, meaning that if they have the Miraculous but have not accepted it yet, it will be in activated mode. When a Miraculous is in its activated mode, it looks similar to how it does in its charged mode, as it has not yet taken on a camouflaged form that matches the holders style, but with the animal symbol being dark or absent. A Miraculous will also enter the activated mode if the wearer has spoken the transformation phrase, but before the kwami has actually entered the miraculous.
