#the space pearl by flight miraculous and the others by just adjusting the suit

I really like how you will use the pearls in your au. The pearls and stones were always one of my favorite scraped ML concepts. Personally, I prefer the pearls and stones over the potions. While I don't hate the potion, I feel like they really lack a presence in the show and aren't very important, especially with how it feels like the show just dropped them after season 2. I think I like the pearls and stones so much because when I first saw their concept art, I thought they would be artifacts that the heroes would have to find (maybe before the villains do). I could imagine Indiana Jones-style episodes where the heroes have to find and go to ancient shrines, temples, or cities to get these artifacts, maybe solving puzzles and avoiding traps or monsters while they do it. This could have been a good opportunity for world-building (which I now think has become the point of the specials since it feels like the show has pretty much locked itself in Paris at this point) and for potential lore about the miraculous, their history, the order, or maybe even the mage who made them. And even if the pearls and stones weren't used often, they would have still impacted the story and the lore while also giving the audience something to use in theories, unlike the potions. But anyway, I'm curious to see how you'll use the pearls in your au.

Yes yes, there were so many opportunities but they just did absolutely nothing, we have no idea what the other power-ups even are! The specials also don't help, they just introduce random stuff that was never mentioned and raise even more questions.
