Transformations

**Transformations** are used by characters throughout the show in order to increase their power, or to conceal their identity. Most of the characters in the show follow the general transformation sequence, however there are a few exceptions.

# General Transformation Sequence

The General Transformation Sequence is composed of four major transformations, with two in-between transformations.

## Energy Form 1

Energy Form 1 is the first major transformation in the General Transformation Sequence. It allows the user to access Soul Energy, which is far more powerful and efficient than Body Energy.

### Appearance

Energy Form 1 changes the appearance of the user in a few small ways. First, the colored mark on the user's palms will glow with their respective color (Blue for a Spirit, Red for a Blade, Green for a Guardian). In addition, the user gains slightly more muscle.

### Attainment and Composition

In order to attain Energy Form 1, the user must achieve a calm mind, in addition to reaching a certain threshold of power. The user must allow this power to flow through their body, while still retaining a calm mind. If successful, the user is able to use a small amount of Soul Energy to augment their body energy. Energy Form 1 is composed of 25% Soul Energy and 75% Body Energy.

### Power

Energy Form 1 is extremely powerful. Soul Energy is exponentially more powerful than Body Energy. In addition, Soul Energy is more efficient and less strenuous on the body. Using Energy Form 1, Eli is able to overpower Xavier, even with Xavier's use of Triplex Maxima.

## Strained Energy Form

Strained Energy Form is a form in between Energy Form 1 and 2. It is extremely powerful, but inefficient and draining on the body. Though technically part of the General Transformation Sequence, it is rarely used. The most well known user of this form is Zero'o.

### Appearance

Strained Energy Form changes the appearance of the user dramatically. They increase in size dramatically and their muscle mass increases many times over. In addition, their veins become very prevalent. In addition to their palm mark glowing like in Energy Form 1, their bulging veins also glow their respective color.

### Attainment and Composition

In order to attain Strained Energy Form, the user must achieve Energy Form 1. From there, the user increases their energy dramatically. This dramatic increase in energy will allow the user to enter this form. Strained Energy Form is composed of 35% Soul Energy and 65% Body Energy.

### Power

Strained Energy Form is extremely powerful. This form outclasses Energy Form 1 by a large margin. That being said, even though the composition has more Soul Energy and less Body Energy, it still pushes the body past its limits, reducing the form's efficiency and increasing its negative effect on the body. Using this power, Zero'o became one of the most feared men in Sozai and was considered their trump card.

## Energy Form 2

Energy Form 2 is the second major transformation in the General Transformation Sequence. It allows the user to access more Soul Energy, which is far more powerful and efficient than Body Energy.

### Appearance

Energy Form 2 changes the appearance of the user slightly from Energy Form 1. In this form, the user's eyes now change color to their respective color. In addition, their palm mark remains glowing, but now has a line coming from the center of that mark that extends to the middle of their forearm.

### Attainment and Composition

In order to attain Energy Form 2, the user must achieve a calm mind, in addition to reaching a certain threshold of power. In addition, the user must possess a Symbol Power and balance the power from that along with the flowing energy in their body. If successful, the user is able to use a greater amount of Soul Energy to augment their body energy. Energy Form 2 is composed of 50% Soul Energy and 50% Body Energy.

### Power

Energy Form 2 is immensely powerful and very rare to achieve. Soul Energy is exponentially more powerful than Body Energy. Because of this, even though it is only twice as much Soul Energy as Energy Form 1, it is far more than 2x as powerful a form. With the increased amount of Soul Energy comes increased efficiency and decreased strain on the body.

## Ascended Energy Form

Ascended Energy Form is a transformation in between Energy Form 2 and Pure Soul Form. This form is more fluid than the others in terms of its power and composition.

### Appearance

Ascended Energy Form changes the appearance of the user even further. The line that extends from their palm further extends along their arms and to their chest depending on the percentage of soul energy being used by the user. At 51% Soul Energy, the form looks nearly identical to Energy Form 2. By 75% the lines coming from the palm marks have extended to the chest of the user. As this percentage inches closer to 99%, these lines will circle around each other, eventually coming together in the center of the chest, forming another, larger mark, similar to the palm marks. Though the lines will glow, this mark on the chest will not glow in this form. Finally, the user will gain an aura that surrounds them. The aura will be their respective color, but will flash gold color periodically. These flashes begin at 75% Soul Energy, which is why many consider this to be the real start of the Ascended Energy Form. The time between flashes will decrease as the amount of Soul Energy is increased.

### Attainment and Composition

In order to attain Ascended Energy Form, the user much achieve Energy Form 2 and then push themselves to greater heights. The more power the user has, the more Soul Energy they can use. Ascended Energy Form is composed of between 51% and 99% Soul Energy.

### Power

Ascended Energy Form is incredibly powerful. The greater the amount of Soul Energy, the more powerful the form will be. Because of the fluidity of the form, it is difficult to say specifically how powerful the form is. That being said it is incredibly rare and has only been attained by a few in history. Cato used this form in his final battle against his younger brother, Leo.

## Pure Soul Form

Soul Energy Formwas thought to be the ultimate transformation in the General Transformation Pattern, only to be surpassed by Pulse Mode. Unlike Pulse Mode, which was only used by Eli, Soul Energy Form has been used by four characters in history. These Characters include Eli, Aether, Katsu, and Nero. This form is used by Eli in his battle against Serpentus.

### Appearance

Pure Soul Form has similar qualities to Ascended Energy Form. The mark on the chest, along with the lines and the marks on the palms now all glow a steady golden color. The eyes of the user remain their respective color.

### Attainment and Composition

In order to attain Pure Soul Form, the user must achieve Energy Form 2. Then they must advance through Ascended Energy Form until they overcome a final threshold where they can use 100% pure Soul Energy. This threshold is extremely important.

### Power

Energy Form 1 is extremely powerful. Even though the max level of Ascended Form is only 1% less Soul Energy than this form, reaching 100% provides a massive boost in power. In addition to the power boost, having 100% pure Soul Energy allows the user to defeat opponents that are immune to non-pure Soul Energy attacks, such as Infernus, or permanently kill a corrupted soul, like with Serpentus. This form makes Eli the most powerful person in the world at the time of his battle with Serpentus.

## Pulse Mode

Pulse Mode is the ultimate transformation in the show. Eli is the only character to ever use it, in order to defeat Agro. Because of the overwhelming strain on the body, Pulse Mode is broken down into two phases: Attack Phase and Recovery Phase. The user is at their strongest during Attack Phase, while they are borderline defenseless during Recovery Phase.

### Appearance

The appearance of Pulse Mode is unique. During the Recovery Phase, the user's pupils turn chrome colored, while their eyes are outlined by chrome coloring. In addition, the user's Palm Mark stops glowing and the Symbol turns chrome colored as well.

During the Attack Phase, the user's pupils jump back to life with rainbow coloring. The user's Palm Mark glows rainbow and their Symbol glows their respective Discipline Color.

### Attainment and Composition

Pulse Mode is attained through entering the Pure Soul Form and then converting all of that Soul Energy into Mystic Energy. This is only possible with a connection to Mystic Energy. In Eli's case, he had consumed a small vial of Sacred Water. It is theoretically possible to achieve Pulse Mode through the use of Yin-Yang Activation. While is Attack Phase, the form is composed of 100% Mystic Energy. While in Recovery Phase, the form is composed of 100% Body Energy.

### Power

Pulse Mode is the most powerful form in the show. It multiplies the user's speed and power many times over. The jump between Soul Energy Form and Pulse Mode's power is demonstrated in the fight between Eli and Agro, where Eli was barely able to scratch Agro with the former, but was able to defeat him with the latter, albeit with help from his allies. While the user is immensely powerful in Attack Phase, they are nearly defenseless in Recovery Phase. It is called this, because the body needs a bit of time to recover from the massive amount of energy and power it is using. In Recovery Phase, the user's power is similar to that of an exhausted Base Form.

# Other Transformations

## Split Form Mode

**Split Form Mode** allows the user to enter multiple different transformations at once, though this is restricted to a select list of transformations only.

### Appearance

The appearance of Split Form Mode is very similar to Base Form, until the user actually combines multiple transformations. Before this, the user is shrouded by a chalky-white aura. After the user transforms, you can see the two different transformations present in the eyes of the user, if not the body as well. Any energy form in the General Transformation Pattern will be visible in the user's right eye. Any transformation from a Symbol Power or from any source other than the General Transformation Pattern. The only exception to these rules is when an when a transformation from the General Transformation Pattern is combined with the Yin-Yang Activation. In this case, the users eyes appear as yin-yangs, with the two colors being black and the color of the discipline that user is in (Blue, Green, or Red).

## Yin-Yang Activation

**Yin-Yang Activation** connects the user with the mystic energy of Yin-Yang Pond. Though the form does not add a multiplier to the power of the user, it does benefit them in many ways. This form can be combined with other forms of the General Transformation Pattern, demonstrated by Katsu.

### Appearance

Yin-Yang Activation replaces the user's normal eyes with what looks like yin-yangs. These are white and black. In addition, the user's burn-off energy is suppressed, resulting in no aura surrounding the user. The only exception to these traits are when a user combines Yin-Yang Activation with any other energy form from the General Transformation Pattern. In this case, the user temporarily has their discpline color's aura spiking around them, while retaining the yin-yang eyes. Soon the aura is suppressed fully, resulting in the white half of the yin-yang being replaced with the discipline color of the user.

### Attainment and Composition

Yin-Yang Activation is attained through meditation at Yin-Yang Pond and through connection with nature. Only three characters have ever attained Yin-Yang Activation. This includes Katsu, Pax, and Plinio.

**Yin-Yang Activation is composed of x% Body Energy, x% Soul Energy, and 0% Mystic Energy.** The reason it doesn't have a firm percentage composition is because it depends upon whether the user is combining it with any other energy form.

### Power

Yin-Yang Activation itself does not increase the power of the user, however it does provide many benefits for the user. These benefits are outlined below:

* Increased Energy Reserves: Though the energy that is used in this form isn't mystic, the user still has access to vast amounts of energy that can be borrowed from Yin-Yang Pond. This energy isn't more powerful, however there is a greater amount that can be used in battle. These reserves can also be used to counter the negative effects of battle fatigue.
* Pacification: This allows the user to counter the effects of the Pluto Symbol Power to a certain point.
* Energy Absorption: This allows the user to absorb an energy attack from an enemy. If it is the normal Yin-Yang Activation, this absorbed energy needs to be slowly leaked until they are back to normal. However, if the Yin-Yang Activation is combined with another energy form, this absorbed energy can immediately be added to their own energy reserves.
