How I Would Write Miraculous' Power System - Creation's Experiment

What do you guys think'? Should I try my hand at rewriting other power systems? Addendum: So, in the same vein as how I said that the Miraculous will be destroyed because humanity no longer needs them, the kid's superhero careers wouldn't actually end with the destruction of the miraculous. Their exposure to them have given them a sort of connection to the force their magic is based on. They're weaker than when they were heroes, but they're wizards now. Not all of them will pursue active hero careers (Zoe, Felix, etc.) but they'll lend a hand if necessary and are on call for serious magic threats. Once it's clear the all powerful Miraculous heroes are gone, new weaker villains can try to take on Paris. That way you can keep the stakes level without needing direct escalation. It wouldn't be easy to write, I'll admit.

Personally I'm not a fan of temporary holders since there's no explanation on why the holders aren't all permanent unless dead or renouncing their position. It makes the other kwamis and their holders feel like filler characters with no development, especially given that it's stated that the cat and ladybug miraculous are the only ones you need for ultimate power.

15:42 'For Adrien, it's a staff like in the show, but it also acts as a sheath for his sword.' That is such a neat and fitting way to integrate Adrien's fencing skills in his weapon that I'm actually mad that it WASN'T in the original show. It's the perfect shape, and just imagine the drama of Chat Noir, who usually uses his staff to smashy smashy thwacky thwacky, having to get a little more serious in a fight, taking a stance with it at his side, and in a flash he's unsheathed his blade and slashed an incoming projectile to ribbons. OR!- the sword could be considered more a special move; a swipe with his sword while using Cataclysm turns a single direct contact attack into a tangible slash of destruction that flies out in front of him to hit multiple obstacles! ...Once again I wish fandom had written the show instead.

This is so conceptually interesting!! I especially love how you wrote the concept of Action, with Queen Bee having Venom and "Honey Bee" having Command -- like you said, the DRAMA... Chloe wishes she had the power of Command SO BAD LMAO

isn't it beautiful that miraculous, a show whose main hero has the power of creation, inspires creation in a part of its audience by rewriting, reworking, and thinking about it? Ladybug really is the most powerful hero on youtube...

I really like the concept of two opposing miraculous holders! It matches thematically with how Chat and Ladybug are supposed to be opposites as well as gives the temporary holders each of them choose some really interesting character development. I really want that Zoe rewrite video now. Looking forward to your Felix one!

I think bumblebee is better suited for zoe since bumblebees are a less aggressive version of a honey bee which matches with Zoe's personality

That idea of Wayzz being Tikki and Plagg's son in a manner does make sense. After all, what sometimes drives creation? Protection from destruction.

I love the idea of Zoe and Chole both having the bee miraculous

I love the concept of, depending on the holder the powers change to suit, compliment or even challenge their way of perceiving the ideas of: creaction destruction... and having the powers reflect that is just so fitting seeing as the concepts the kwamis are, don't really make sense to be tied down to one power each.

Just based on the description of Tikki in this restructure, I’m now just picturing her aligning with Oppenheimer during the Manhattan Project.

The idea of having Chloe and Zoe have opposite powers to their personalities is so good of an idea! It gives what both characters need. It forces Chloe to practice self restraint and patience and it forces Zoe to be more assertive. I like how you changed Pollen’s character to be more assertive towards both Chloe and Zoe. Pollen was basically another yes man toward Chloe in the show and that wasn’t what she needed at all. I appreciate you still keeping Queen Bee while also adding in Honey Bee. I love the idea of Chloe and Zoe bonding over them both being the wielder of the bee. I assume that based on the situation, Ladybug will call upon either Chloe or Zoe. The only thing I’d change is changing the weapon to a raiper because of the idea of a practice raiper is that if you touch someone with it, the game is over. It fits perfectly with the idea of venom and it can work for command. Also a raiper is heavily in French culture. However I’m not entirely opposed to brass knuckles. It would be excellent if the brass knuckles looked like honeycombs.

In my fanfic I wrote out the Miracoulouses of black cat and ladybug. quote from timeline folder "Tikki and Plagg REFUSED to be on a miraculous since their power was too dangerous for humans to use"

As much as I hated the unnecessary addition of Zoe in the show, I think she fits perfectly into your rewrite. Having her move to Paris earlier in the series and have drama with the family and getting close with Marinette enough to be entrusted with a miraculous.

There’s just so much I love about the ideas presented here. Having each Kwami not only play an active role in their wielders’ character development, but also have unique characteristics and personalities that make them stand out from one another? Yes please! And I love the choice you made to make them omnipotent beings that are incapable of change. One may think that making them capable of changing the way they think would allow them to experience some character development, but with so many characters, I find it so much wiser that you chose to simply make them conduits through which their wielders develop. On top of that, making them immovable in their values and beliefs makes them feel so much more…godly? In addition, I absolutely love the new names for Illusion and Protection. As each Miraculous seems to embody a concept, it’s much more appropriate to have each be called something much broader? Simply put, I find Preservation to be a far broader concept than Protection, which I think, allows for much more exploration in regards to how each wielder uses their respective Miraculous. On that note, placing a clearer emphasis on the concepts of the Miraculous, as well as having two wielders for each (at least in regards to the temporary holders), is such an interesting idea, and it allows the show to actually delve a bit more into a philosophical side of itself, while also linking it to the differences between each character and how they perceive things. By seeing how each character chooses to use their power, we are essentially given an insight into how each character thinks and feels, and it’s just such a brilliant take. Also, having Adrien have a morbid interest in destruction, which contrasts with Marinette’s love of creation not only gives Adrien some much needed interests, but it also serves to make the two even more opposite than they already were, thus better fitting them into the contrasting concepts of Creation and Destruction. Anyway, sorry if this was long, but I genuinely adore the ideas presented in this video.

A good way of making the purification system not unique to Ladybug, but also keep the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous as special as they are creation and destruction, Ying and Yang and stuff So maybe BOTH can do the purification, or only the black cat can do that (because purification is the destruction of evil, got that from a Aloubell video) Or that they both can catch the akuma/amok, but they need to work together to purify it and a good substitute for the Miraculous ladybug would be both Cat and Ladybug use their powers, because the Miraculous Ladybug repairing stuff doesn't make any sense, Creation only ADDS STUFF, creation being able to "repair damage" in the sense of being able to revert mind control, and other powers effect is so weird, I can get destruction nullifying an others power but like, creation?

As someone who doesnt like canon Zoe, if we could get a rewrite of her character and have the dynamic you propose, by golly I can see myself maybe liking her. I would honestly like to see a general series rewrite from you with these ideas. Also when you mentioned the plot point of LC and CN being out and the 6 heries having to work together, I had immediate mental images of how that could happen. Like maybe the 6 of them have to keep swapping through transformations while the other none transformed run off to do something else. Like maybe each of them, even with learning each other's powers, still specialize in something to still give them differentiation and not make 1 seem useless when the other gets both powers. So for a fight 1 group of three can go off and do things and then switch with the other set to deal with something. Or we have them traveling in pairs, with the transformed not only having to fight and protect the city but to also protect their partner so they can work together. Get some cute intwractions, maybe some bickering, maybe some reconciling and understanding. Maybe they could learn to multitask better or maybe discover a new ability that manifests with the new things they have to accomplish and new desires that formulate in different ways

9:11 I’d like to think that Gabriel has a anti-social disorder in this version. Fusing the miraculous of emotion and transmission was easier for him, for having a lack of empathy and emotion —and being controlling and manipulative. He had form an unhealthy obsession with his wife, willing to do anything and destroy anything to bring her back, and with fusing the miraculous only deteriorating his mind and body. I’ll also like to think that the miraculous is like an ancient “myth” that most don’t believe in. But the few who does-spend their whole lives searching for them, Gabriel so happens to be one of those people. The reason why he found both emotion and transmission was because they were drawn towards him. Maybe the grimoire was the reason why he became so interested into the miraculous, oh wow-the possibility and potential this story has.

I would love to see a rewrite of Zoe's character. I love her and she deserves a better execution than the one she got.

I’m intrigued by the idea of holders getting different powers based on different interpretations of the concept their kwami embodies, and the ability for one holder to eventually learn to harness any of those other possible powers if they learn and grow with their miraculous. It reminds me in some ways of epithets from the series “Epithet Erased” and how powers in that world are based around words and any definition or interpretation of the word an inscribed is able to master. A part of me really likes the magic system of miraculous the way it is despite its many flaws but your interpretation of it is definitely very fun and your take on the kwami’s is so interesting and well thought out.
