First of all, I’m kinda mad that there hasn’t been any Magic Candy lore since Cookie Odyssey. Not even for Crystal Jams (if I’m wrong about that, please tell me). Anyway, rant time.
We know MC are made with the power of the Soul Jam and Resonant Ingredients (as well as other things in gameplay). And I have a hc that the moment an Ancient Hero awakens, the MC made by that Soul Jam is stronger. Now this hc only works if the MC are made by different Soul Jams. There’s two ways to go through this: made by Soul Jams or made by the crystals (which are influenced by the SJ)
If made by the crystals, this can also go two ways: the crystals are influenced by the power or by the color. By power it would go like this: strength is influenced by HB, swiftness is influenced by DC and arcane is influenced by PV. By color you would just have to switch PV and DC.
If made directly by Soul Jams (aka by lore) the power depends on the original user. The MC are made by the different Soul Jams depending usually on their ‘nationality’ and closeness to the kingdoms (I’ve made a chart). Most MC are made by PVs Soul Jam bc he literally lives where the MCs are being made. As for WL, some MC are made by her Soul Jam while others (Cookies of Darkness) are made by DEs power (kinda corrupted versions maybe? Weaker bc it’s not real soul jam? Who knows)
As I said, the moment an ancient awakens, the MC made by that Soul Jam is stronger, kinda like an upgraded or awakened version of them. I also hc that when a MC is made the new owner needs some training (preferably from an Ancient) until they can fully control it, so I imagine the user getting surprised by the new amount of power that comes from it.
The legendaries get their Crystal Jam from the fragments of light from HBs Soul Jam that combine with their power, hence why it’s so difficult to get the shards. (I only added the ones we have rn to the chart bc all of them would go to the same place)
As for Super Epics, we do not know if they will have them, nor we do with Pitaya or the special cookies. Common and rare will not get any, and anyone gets one, probably the main cast or just GingerBrave.
Also, when a Beast interacts with a MC user, they can kinda feel the power coming out of it. Yes, Mystic Flour felt Caramel Arrow’s MC. Eternal Sugar also felt Wildberry’s. High chance they are just confused as of how this is posible. (Could you imagine how SM would react if he saw one? Insanity probably)
Here’s the chart, color coded of which Soul Jam would give the power to each Magic Candy [DATE: MAY 2025] (chart may be updated) (the willing followers of the beasts are given theirs by DE/ the beasts themselves if they ever found out how it’s done; the others are just WL lol) (Only epics and owners of crystal jam):
