#Winx Transformations

[redfountainpostin]

I finished the first season of The Borgias and it's giving me all kind of outfit inspirations. Well. Mostly for Nabu. He deserves the pretty robes and the lil purple cap Cesare wears. (I think Riven steals that cap). (Alternatively, please just imagine Riven wearing priest robes for a disguise, like Rhaenyra in HotD. Although just like Rhaenyra, he should be busted for having a such a face card. Anywasy-) Nabu has an entire wardrobe of priestly clothing and he also has a bunch of "off duty" priest clothing that he wears out when he's not working but he's still gonna be recognizable as a priest. But other than that- BEJEWELED HAIRNETS SHOULD BE PART OF MORE WINX TRANSFORMATIONS. THEY'RE SO PRETTY HOLY SHIT.

Magic

Magic exists everywhere on Magix and all beings are born with it. Someone’s magic starts connecting to the Magical Core of the Realm they grow up in, once they are born. It takes up to five years in order to gain a strong connection. The more generations a family has lived in the same Realm, the stronger the magic can get.

Not everyone decides to practice Magic beyond the basic level they are thought in school, but those who do are called a Mage. The title a Mage has is influenced by the way they use their magic.

Fairies draw their magic from emotions and create it themselves.

Witch/ers use their magic to control the energy around them and get stronger by learning and mastering their spells.

Wizards are balancing their own and the magic around them, whilst having to stay neutral and balanced themselves. They have the broadest knowledge of magic overall and practice it in the oldest way known, which is called Arcane Magic.

Paladins fight with weapons in addition to practicing magic. Their magical knowledge is rather basic, only focusing on general- and mental protection-magic.

Fairies and Witch/ers gain transformations as they become more skilled with their power.

It's more common for young girls to show the innate talent to become a Fairy or Witch, whereas young boys strive to become Wizards or Paladins.

Fairy Transformations

Magic Wings - as soon as the magic in a young person stabilizes and they create magic themselves they gain visible wings, which means they can become a Fairy. This is usually between the age of 8 and 17. But the transformation is only truly achieved when the Fairy can stay transformed and use their magic at the same time. Until then the outfit of the transformation can still change.

Once a Fairy has stabilized their transformation, a Pixie will be born from the Flower of Life. The Fairies who meet their Pixies bond with them.

Charmix - the Fairy must overcome a great personal difficulty, such as a strong fear or a certain weakness holding them back and they have to use their magic in another way. Once achieved they earn a brooch made of their magic, their outfit changes once more and their wings grow a little bigger. From this transformation onward the Fairy is able to stay transformed as long as they need to.

This is the last major transformation most Fairies gain.

Enchantix – the final major transformation a Fairy can gain during their education to become a full-fledged Fairy. It is earned by rescuing someone with connection to the same Magical Core and showing great sacrifice in doing so. Earning Enchantix gives access to Fairy Dust which can be used to break dark spells, heal and cast or enhance spells.

Becoming an Enchantix is not required to finish the education at any magic-college. But if it is achieved the Fairy earns the title of Guardian Fairy of Magix and their powers get stronger.

Faerix - the final transformation a Fairy can gain. The Fairy has to perfect the way they use their magic. In the end they can practice magic at the level of their Fairy Dust and can decide if they want to stay transformed all the time. But they also have access to their full powers without being transformed.

Once this transformation has been achieved the Fairy has become a Fae.

Fairies who gained their Charmix can choose to become a Guardian Fairy. This can either be achieved if the Fairy is able to connect with the Magical Core of their home-realm, or by gaining Enchantix.

Witch/er Transformations

Manifest - as soon as the magic in a young person accidentally influences the Magic around them, it’s clear they can become a Witch/er. The transformation is gained through a lot of practice and meditation. It’s stabilized, once the Witch/er is able to stay transformed and use their magic at the same time.

Once the Manifest has been reached the Witch/ers Magic becomes more vicious.  

Relic - through the use of their magic the Witch/er creates a Witch/er’s Crystal. It involves lots of practice in drawing magic from their negative emotions, without corrupting themselves. From this transformation onward the Witch/er is able to stay transformed as long they need to. With their Crystal a Witch/er can summon their Dæmon.

This is the last transformation most Witch/ers gain.

Enchantress/Enchanter - the final major transformation a Witch/er can gain during their education to become a full-fledged Witch/er. Once the Witch/er is able to be in complete control of their negative emotions, they can come across quite apathetic. The transformation is earned when a Witch/er uses all of their magic up, in order to save someone who is not a member of their coven.

Becoming Enchantress/Enchanter is not required to finish the education at any magic-collage.

High Witch/er - once a Witch/er has perfected the practice of magic, their specific power and channelling their magic through their negative emotions without becoming apathetic they become a High Witch/er. They have access to their full powers without being transformed or can stay in transformation all the time.

A Witch/er who was able to create their Relic can choose to become a Priest/Priestess. Those can help other magic users to cleanse themselves of Dark Magic traces. But only as long as they haven’t used it themselves.

Other Witch/er transformations are deemed illegal to achieve, since most of them can only be reached by practicing Dark Magic or taking someone’s life.

Wizards’ Artifacts

Wizards create Artifacts with their Magic. Those can amplify their magic greatly.

Amulet - a Wizard has to stay neutral and concentrated whilst they mix their own Magic with the Magic around them.

Scepter – once the Wizard has perfected the use of their personal power their Amulet grows to be a Scepter.

Staff – the Wizard has to master their magical skills.

Wizards usually ware cloaks in varying styles. The length of their cloaks is based on their Artifact.

Paladin’s Weapon

A Paladin fights with a weapon and wears techno-magical armor which protects them from magical attacks. They use their magic to enhance their bodies' physical condition and keep themselves safe against mind magic. They chose their weapon themselves, but create it with the help of their magic. Only some of them perfect the use of their personal magical power as well.

The last trial to become a Paladin includes taming a dragon in Pyros. A Paladin and their dragon share a mental link.

Dark Magic

Dark Magic is a wicked form of magic. It draws upon the energy within magical beings to fuel heinous spells. Therefore, it has been deemed illegal to use on Magix since it involves either draining the magic of others, or taking their life.

Fairies can’t use dark magic by themselves.

Any Witch/er who chooses to practice Dark Magic and kills others through draining their magic will corrupt themselves and turn into a Dark Witch/er. Their magic will look like black mist. Once this “transformation” is reached its always visible to others.

Winx Club Transformations Tier List

I'm getting flamed for this one.

Okay, I'm gonna go through my explanations for each transformation, but here's how I look at it: I take five main factors when it comes to judging a transformation:

Obtainment: How is the transformation obtained? What do the Winx have to go through or prove to get it? Are they all given it at once (bad) or do they all get it separately through their own actions (good)?

Aesthetics: How good are the outfits? Are they visually appealing? Do they fit the theme of the transformation nicely? Are they able to compliment the individual's personality or are they all just copy and pasted to save precious time and money? On that last point the way I look at it is: if I was to draw an OC in a given transformation, someone else should be able to tell which transformation it is without it just being a carbon copy and without being told.

Sequence: Pretty simple: Is the sequence fun to watch? And does it go well with the music? Speaking of which

Music: How good is the song(s) to go with the sequence? (this is important trust me)

Power: What do the Winx get from having it? Are the unique powers it has interesting? And does it make sense for what they're trying to accomplish?

So, why have I ranked each transformation the way I have? Let's dive right in.

Magic Winx (S-Tier): Can't go wrong with the original. Magic Winx is one of the most iconic magical girl forms of all time and for good reason. There is so much beauty in simplicity, the outfits look amazing even though they're very simple. The sequence is very fun and factors in the personalities of the Winxes nicely like with the disc Musa spins on, something that many of the other transformations didn't do. All topped off by banger songs from both the 4Kids and RAI dubs. Magic Winx is a classic and very deserving of S-Tier.

Charmix (B-Tier): This one is hard to comment on because it really should be considered a powerup similar to the Believix wings, not a full transformation. But it seems to be included more because it's the closest thing season 2 has to its own transformation and it's also just from the original trilogy so it seems to get this consideration. In any case, the way of making fairies temporarily stronger is logical especially with how powerful Darkar is. It's also one of the few to be obtained incrementally, as in each Winx gets it on their own which is something I really like even if it's a bit quick, it makes them feel less like a hivemind. Kinda weird it never gets used beyond season 2 but whatever.

Enchantix (S-Tier): What hasn't been said about Enchantix at this point? It's just awesome all around. The outfits are magnificent. The visuals of the sequence look superb and it combines together with an absolute banger of a song that is so intensive but also fits the elegance of Enchantix perfectly. And there's the fairy dust theme which is amazing too. And also the second fairy dust theme which only plays like two or three times but it feels like you're ascending to a higher plain it's just majestic and incredible I can't describe it. It is also the only true incremental transformation in my view. Taking a good 10 episodes from Aisha getting it in S3E6 to Bloom in E16. Every time it's obtained is a great moment for the Winx and they desperately need it's advanced powers to take on Valtor and his series of new threats. Enchantix is the best transformation through and through (very original opinion I know).

Believix (A-Tier): The "level above Enchantix" bullshit Faragonda what are you chatting about? Anyway, Believix is great. The outfits look fabulous and the sequence is very fun to watch. Especially with the outfits we're just before the point where they start to look way too similar and not reflecting the characters' personality. If I'm honest, ranked purely on music it would probably be on the lower end but the song is still amazing, it's just the competition is extremely high in that category. This would be probably be S-Tier but the way it's obtained is definitely a good few steps below Enchantix where they all get it once, it made sense for the occasion but I just love how they all gain Enchantix separately. In any case: Believix is still one of the best transformations.

Sophix (A-Tier): The first sub-transformation on the list. It's good, only used for a couple episodes and like probably existed to sell dolls but it's fine. The outfits look fine and the song is super underrated, more people need to talk about it because it feels so majestic and beautiful.

Lovix (A-Tier): Sophix's twin sister doesn't disappoint, I probably like the outfits even more and the music is really good as well. I think I prefer Sophix just a little more but Lovix is still A-Tier for me.

Harmonix (D-Tier): Oh here we go, everything up until this point has been pretty uncontroversial but I think this one will ruffle some feathers. I'm sorry Harmonix fans, I know you're out there but I don't like Harmonix at all. The outfits are carbon copies of each other and I don't like them at all. The music is pretty good but the sequence is whatever and just a good song won't save it. Additionally, Harmonix has zero reason to exist, it's just Sirenix training wheels and you know it's true. They just get given similar powers to Sirenix whilst completing the Sirenix Quest? Why couldn't they have just kept Believix for that? It would've made it even harder to get things done and proved they wanted it more. Maybe some people think differently but I think that's pretty lame, I really don't know what purpose it was meant to ser- oh yeah they have to sell dolls don't they. But yeah, I make no apologies that I don't like Harmonix at all, excluding the season 7 transformations I think it's the worst in the entire series and might be the most unnecessary.

Sirenix (B-Tier): May be the most popular post-S4 transformation but I've always had a difficult relationship with it. Historically it's been my least favourite but in recent times I've come around to liking it. The best thing about it is the Sirenix Quest they have to go on. This might be the highest stakes of any transformation, they have to go through a lot to get the transformation and it comes down to the wire with them nearly losing their magic entirely making for a tense watch. So why only B-Tier? I hate the outfits, they're way too similar and just don't look good at all. I really don't like them. But otherwise it's easily one of the best, and I still feel like I'm gonna warm up to it more with time so the next time I do this don't be surprised if it goes up.

Bloomix (A-Tier): Yes, just yes, Bloomix is so cool. The warrior aesthetic is very different from others but I love it so so much. They're pretty similar but there are worse offenders for sure (lookin' at you Harmonix), and also Tecna's outfit is perfect, she looks like a tech support girl which I love. Plus the song is banger (I know I say banger a lot but just work with me here) and the sequence is really cool too. The way it's obtained is a little lame, Bloom sharing the dragonflame is cool but I don't really get the whole "defeating some bad guy" to get it thing it just didn't make sense to me, Bloom more or less created it why can't they just get it there and then? On a side note: I feel like season 6 has to be the most disappointing season, the season aesthetically was cool with the theme of mythology and legends and shit and that went along with Bloomix, it really could've been something good to drag the show out of the hole it was beginning to dig. But in the end it was just good ideas and bad execution. But I digress.

Mythix (C-Tier): A lot of people seem to really hate Mythix and I do get why. To me though I think it's the most average in a way, like if you ranked every transformation out of 10, Mythix to me is like halfway between the best and the worst transformation wherever those lie, hence C-Tier. The outfits are... okay I guess, the music is good and they did have to go through quite a bit to get it. Though I will say the wands are dumb and childish and I wish they didn't have them. I don't know, Mythix is just "fine" to me.

Butterflix (F-Tier): Oh lord here we are, we made it to season 7. Like with Enchantix but the inverse: what bad hasn't been said about Butterflix? The outfits are tacky and all look literally identical besides the colours like oh my god this is so bad. That dance is just... what. The way it's obtained is pretty bland and lame too. The one good thing is the music which is one of the best tracks in the entire show, I made a post about it a while back because goddamn is it catchy, but it's not gonna save what is fundamentally the worst transformation in the show.

Tynix (D-Tier): What do I say about Tynix? Like the music's decent and some of the visuals are good. But it's still got the season 7 factor of just feeling so childish and stupid, do you get me? I don't know, all this shit about mini worlds and magical animals is just so lame, I hate this show so much sometimes.

Dreamix (A-Tier): Banger all around. It has what might be the coolest sequence in the entire series, the visuals are amazing and go along really well with an absolutely beautiful song. The outfits are pretty unique and I like them a lot. I've seen a good chunk of people who dislike Dreamix but I don't get it at all, what's there not to love? It's great.

Onyrix (C-Tier): Onyrix is like Dreamix but worse in every way. It didn't really feel that essential especially considering how similar it is aesthetically. The song isn't as good, the sequence isn't as good, like I said, it's just a worse version of Dreamix which just makes it disappointing. I really wish they tried to make more disctinctive. It feels like an unused early version of Dreamix.

Cosmix (A-Tier): Yep, I am a Cosmix defender until the day I die. Where do I even start with this? Well the music for one is soooooooo good. And the sequence visually looks cool too with the Winxes fading in from a starry outline. The outfits look pretty good too in my opinion and are about as distinct as Bloomix was so I'll give it that. In terms of obtaining it was kinda boring (I think? I haven't watched season 8 in a while lol) but like what can you do? Cosmix is cool and more people need to realise it.

Crystal Sirenix (C-Tier): One of the strangest ones, like why did they need another form of Sirenix randomly at the end of season 8? I'm not sure don't ask me. Though tbh I think I like the outfits slightly more than regular Sirenix just because I don't like those at all as I've expressed, but for the most part it feels fairly unnecessary and forgettable.

Aaaaaaaaaand that is my thoughts on the transformations. Plenty of good and plenty of bad. I've probably lost my entire following by now but if you don't hate me by this point uhhhh that's cool? Thanks for reading this thing it took fucking ages to write lmao. Have a good day.

How hard would it be for a preteen fairy to gain enchantix with no formal magic training but extensive self taught experience.

Extremely difficult!

While it probably could be achieved, it is highly likely that their magic would be unstable or destablise over time. A fairy could potentially commit a self-sacrifice; however, their core could reject the transformation, leaving them without the ability to transform at all.

In modern Magix, due to the well-known dangers of magic and magic casting, most fairies receive some form of education. Meaning it is highly unlikely that a fairy who gains Enchantix has not been trained in some format. In fact, it was the large number of deaths, injury and loss of wings from those trying to gain the Enchantix form that saw Alfea open many centuries ago.

For the ask game 🧡🧡

Butterflix or Mythix

Harmonix or Mermaidix

Butterflix. I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I actually don't hate Butterflix. It's definitely not my favorite, but I don't hate it as much as the rest of the fandom seems to. I mostly wish there was more variation to the designs, but I don't dislike the design itself that much.

Mermaidix. I don't like some of the Harmonix designs, I'm sorry—please do not come after me. Harmonix is still a lot better than Butterflix and Mythix. If that means anything to anyone.

So let me get this straight:

You're okay with your children watching murder scenes or worse things in media, but when two boys/two girls kiss is suddenly too much for you.

Do you realize how horrible does that sound?

You prefer your children watching something ilegal and immoral (like yk, killing someone) over letting them watch two persons showing that love has no gender.

Very logical.

Very very logical.

And not inhuman at all.

Another drawing I started in 2021 but never showed you :) I’m still a bit shy about it. But it’s #fairyary and when if not now. Gotta do this. I was inspired by @liza_krendel who also redrew #bloom in this pose right after her valentines dtiys and I admired the way she used chalky brushes (still do). 😊 thank you for leading me in this fun direction back then 💕
