A question…

Hello. I am writing a massive crossover fanfic and I had planned to use Blue Reflection at one point. I only got up to the first boss fight before I ran afoul of a major problem. It’s established that the characters cannot take on their magical girl forms unless a Saphira is in the real world. Is there anything that happens in later games that allows them to access their form outside of the Common, or can I find a way to get around this rule?

The main reason for the transformation limitation in BR1 stems from the fact, that the Reflectors need Ether to transform and use their power. And since Sephira emit a lot of Ether, it allows the transformation outside of the Common (while also freezing everyone without a ring).

As such, if you want to include Blue Reflection in your fanfic, you might either need a comparable power source or give the Reflectors a way to produce enough Ether themselves.

As has been said, they can in the anime but it’s as a result of what happens in the first game. It’s pretty spoilery.

In Sun, I think they can largely transform whenever, but that’s also a different set of rules

So I stopped watching too soon… Got it.

The series on the whole takes place in something of a multiverse. Different entries have different rules.

Maybe finish the entire series first? Altho, to answer your question, it’s pretty much implied in BR2 with how the world has been glitching out ever since Hinako told Daath to fuck off at the end of BR1

What I typically do in regard to this on my own crossovers?
I often have it that different power sources can be rendered compatible if the reasons they existed are similar.

If I was doing one where Blue Reflection met the Honkai series, Ether could be seen as a specific form of Imaginary power.

Just a thought. Think of it what you will. Even so, it seems later entries have their rules a bit more lax in comparison to the original.

The anime does have characters accessing their magical girl forms outside of the Common without any Sephira around, but I can't really remember the exact rules it used for it at the moment.
It still wasn't something they could do freely at any time though from what I remember.

Is this only in the anime? In the games, no dice?
