As I explained in the former post, I like to headcanon that Potions were created by a sorceress who tried to adapt Kwamis to each area. The seven main potions are the ones Fu has, but I like to think there are some minor ones. Currently we have information about two and some clues about four more (if they’re still based on the pearls concept). So I’m gonna show my theories.
Orange potion- Air adaptation.
Based on the Stone of the Sun, which was said to grant flying powers. So this potion let’s users develop wings or wing-like extensions. For example, Ladybug would develop ladybug wings, and Queen B bee wings. Chat maybe bat wings or simply bird-like wings. New suits may also include air-like design with some transparent clothes.
Red potion- Lava adaptation.
Completely theorized one. This would adapt user to great heat and lava (desert and volcano themed areas), and let them swim through lava withouth melting. I don’t know how would the design be, maybe less clothes because heat or maybe more because lava protection? Either way, probably mirrors Aqua transformation.
Purple potion- Energy adaptation.
Based on the Pearl of the Mysteries, which was said to grant infinite Lucky Charms. This could grant the user the power to never detransform, meaning they can use their superpower as many times as wanted. Design would look like something flashy and powerful, maybe more animal like. Maybe it can also upgrade weapon.
Blue potion- Ice adaptation.
The second one we’ve seen. This lets user adapt to cold temperature and ice areas, developing skates to improve movement. The design has toned-down colors, ice crystals, some fur and quite a skater-like design. Maybe it adapts them to snow, meaning they could resist freezing and getting trapped under snow.
Green potion- Water adaptation.
First one we’ve seen. Based on the Pearl of the Sea, which was said to let user breathe and move underwater. With this, user can swim really fast, talk normally underwater and never drown. Design is fish-like, with fins and scale-like suit. Suit’s colors are quite brightened. User’s tool is modified to let people breathe while holding it.
Yellow potion- Space adaptation.
Based on the Stone of the Moon, which was said to let user fly and breathe in space. So, this basically provides user with air in space and lets them float around controlling their movement. Design could be like astronaut’s suits, with a crystal-bubble like helmet to let them breath. Maybe it has some Moon references.
Pink potion- Feel adaptation.
Last pearl we have is Pearl of the Heart, which was said to “cure the akumatized”. But Ladybug already has purification powers. So maybe it is to permanently cure someone problematic? As if, emotion control or something on that lines. Perhaps it would be used on Lila to stop her being Akumatized. Maybe fairy-like design?
By following this, we would have five potions adapting to different terrains and two potions being power ups. We can also have the possibility of an earth adapting potion, which could let the user dig in the ground? Or a dark adapting potion, which could let the user see in the dark or produce light? Pink and purple are the less clear ones for me. What do you think?
I saw a new Ladybug Doll named “Fantasybug” along with Aquabug and IcyBug, not to mention there was already another version called “Daring Ladybug”, so I wondered about it and while they might be random toys to pad the toyline, I decided to assign the power of the potions to them... so I made a bit of guessing extrapolating from the info we had, namely, que Aqua and Icy potions/power ups.
1.- They seem to make the Miraculous Holders better adapted to certian terrains (Aqua for water bodies and Icy for... Ice, so I’m gonna say Tundra)
2.- They are also based on two elements, water and ice, so...
I have seen some list that give them random superpowers, but that doesn’t seem to be their purpose(Although I might be wrong) So, without asigning specific colors, I made up this little list:
Aqua (Water): The Holder becomes able to breathe underwater, and the suit becomes more appropriate for underwater transportation and fights.
Icy (Ice): The Holder can withstand low temperatures, and the suit becomes more appropriate for transportation and fights on ice.
Daring(Fire): The Holder can withstand high temperatures, like in deserts and volcanoes.
Fantasy (Air): The suit develops wings and becomes able to fly.
Knight (Metal): The suit becomes armored, ideal for heavy hand to hand combat.
Camouflage (Wood): The suit becomes able to blend in its surroundings. The more uniform the environment, the better it works(Like the jungle or forest)
For Earth, I have either
Mini: The Holder becomes able to shift sizes, ideal for stealth and rescues. The protection from the suit when becoming big again is able to shatter rocks.
or
Climb: The suit becomes better adapted to Mountains
Hey! As you already know, Miraculouses are pieces of jewelry that tie tiny creatures known as Kwamis to our world. As the comic says, it was a magician who created them because normal people couldn't see Kwamis. Kwamis embody concepts like Creation or Protection. They're affiliated to an animal.
However, this is quite inconsistant. Why are they affiliated to an animal? What came first, Kwami or animal? Is that their true appearance? Why did the magician create jewelry with tools? Was he already planning to use them as power conductors? Who the heck was him?
So I'm gonna write some of my personal headcanons about Miraculouses. They are non-canon and probably differ.
That magician discovered these deity-like creatures while investigating magical power sources. He wanted them to combat some kind of evil, maybe a mythical monster or maybe just corruption in society. Maybe to defend himself of being killed by ordeal.
Kwamis aren’t animals nor are related to them; the magician just created jewels based on animals to make them friendlier to people. So Kwamis took a corporeal form mixed with their animal.
Magician created these jewels to be indestructible, only the destruction god could harm them. However, in my headcanon he did not create tools; they were created by the first contact between the Miraculous and its first holder. So, basically, they represent first holders wishes. We can assume, for example, F!Fox (First!Fox) was a flute player or F!Butterfly wanted to be elegant but also harmful.
But humans are bad, so eventually they started using Miraculouses wrong. They were hereditary at first, by the way. Point is, people tried to destroy them but couldn't.
This probably led to Peafowl's corruption. I like to think it was a binding spell put there to stop people from using it. They tried to do this to all Miraculouses, but Guardian Order was created instead.
Butterfly Miraculous will probably be corrupted in some time if it continues being used evilly. Nooroo will probably start to get sick. He's been used badly for ages.
I don't like the idea of "adults = no timer", so I'll go for another route. The powers we're seeing are just small portions of the real powers. So there's indeed a "full power mode". Currently they're limited by some Guardian's ancient spells. Full power Miraculouses are too dangerous for humankind and holders. Only the Guardian knows how to break it. This liberating spell is known as The Forbbiden Truth (sounds cool, ok?).
They start choosing holders at teen ages because at young age, body will get used to magical power. Yes, they need years of training to use all of their Miraculous' currently usable powers.
So that's why Hawk Moth acts so dumb. He isn't trained nor has experience.
Potions were created by a sorceress who spent her life creating all kinds of spells and magic. She wanted to surpase Nature's power by granting Kwamis the ability to adapt to areas. She succeded, but trying to show her advances, was called a witch and killed. These potions were not used for ages until someone realized they weren't curse-ish magic.
Instead of the Peafowl creating familiars, I like to think each Miraculous can summon a familiar, a mix of Kwami's power and animal. However they're really hard to summon and require years of training. These were known as Teardrop Beasts, because it was said they were born because of a Kwami's tears. Just legends. (Based on Duusu's concept art).
Some kind of spell can give Kwamis human-like forms. This way they’re able to fight, but also have more freedom.
Besides the potions Fu has information of, there are more minor potions created by other magicians. Curse-ish and deadly potions are forbbiden, because they release dangerous magic. Pssst, they’re Plagg’s favs.
An experienced holder can manifest some kind of secondary powers, like Félix’s bad luck powers in early concepts. They will also get along with their animal (ie Marinette and ladybugs).
I like to headcanon that Holders can’t control Kwamis as Gabriel does with Nooroo (cause why would deities be enslaved? And why did they think this was ok?), but maybe a spell can do it.
Miraculouses have a duality within them. Each Miraculous has an active and a passive trait (ie creation as active and good luck as passive). Active is more related to their superpower, passive to their secondary abilities.
Miraculous book is actually a spellbook that uses at least four codes and ancient languages passed to Guardians.
There’s another hidden spellbook with forbbiden spells. Hawk Moth totally wishes he had it.
More than one Miraculous can be used at the same time, meaning it is more powerful, but also more dangerous (actually proven canon lmao).
There are levels on fusion. You can fuse everything, but some combinations lead to special results. Normal fusions just let you have both powers, special fusion let you combine them creating a somewhat new one (this can be seen in Miraculer, where Sabrina only fuses Lucky Charm and Cataclysm).
To actually gain deity powers with Ladybug and Cat you need a special spell. The wish isn’t really a wish, it’s just you manipulating reality.
In the triad AU, Ladybug+Cat is just a chaotic combo that lets you create and destriy everything you want, to fix and ruin at will. Ladybug+Butterfly lets you create and evolve what you create. Cat+Butterfly lets you age up things until they die, de-evolve them, transform them into weaker versions. Ladybug+Cat+Butterfly is the deity combo that lets you manipulate reality at will, becoming a literal deity in the process (imagine Madokami or Akuma Homura from Madoka Magica, for example).
I think that’s everything important I can think of!
