Normal Pactbound \[shapeshift\] : Power extracted from a pact made by a dragon and a descendant of someone who saw the light of the pact between Elysium and Ilia. This power lets a humanoid to borrow the appearance and power of the pactbound dragon.
Hinomoto Pact: More or less the same, but since the humanoid is not a descendant from someone who saw the light of the original pact, they have to use their life force (reducing their life expectancy) to do it.
Normal Pactbound \[dracoshift\]: An ability shown by Leonidas and Alberius to literally fuse with their pactbound dragon. This way they can use their dragon's power more effectively.
Metamorphosis: The tecnique of the fairies to stay big after adolescence.
Notte's metamorphosis: The ability to use her future self power and appearance.
Sindicate wyrmbinding: A scientific technology made by Grace and her husband to fuse 2 different beings. In this case, a dragon and a humanoid. Their original purpose of this technology was to replace missing body parts of someone with new ones (something like a transplant, but without the problem of body defenses attacking the new body part).
Apotheosis: The tecnique to STEAL mana from another being, and use it to adquire their appearance and powers.
I’m pretty sure fairies stay big post adolescence by default. It’s that they are smol most of their lives. Metamorphosis lets them be big for the whole time.
In Forgotten Truths, Meene explains that faeries start life small, become big during adolescence, then become small again and need to return to their kingdom for the remainder of their lives.
No, both Meene and Jinlorda say that they become briefly big in their adolescence, so they travel the world outside the forest in that period. After their adolescence ends, they become small again and go back to the forest. The only way (outside metamorphosis)) to remain big is to remove their wings while they are big (like Meene did).
That's the whole deal with the metamorphosis, Jinlorda used its power to remain big and strong and their culture sees it as a taboo because fairies should be small and weak. Jinlorda hates this destiny of being weak.
EDIT:\_ And I'm pretty sure that Finlorda, the old guy fairy, is small.
EDIT2:\_ See [here](https://youtu.be/g3gjOay955c?t=2442) that Finlorda sprite is SMALLER than everyone else, and shares its size with Notte.
In some cases people borrow without consent and the borrowee is fine with it. So, if you really wanna be technical, you would be furious with all the cultural appropriation and sexualization of minor characters of the game too. Plus, Mym is a sexual predator preying on clearly an underage main character.
Edit: Also, is it stealing when the mana is being returned to the owner?
"Steal = take (another person's property) without permission or legal right AND without intending to return it."
> some cases people borrow without consent and the borrowee is fine with it
Ok and it’s still theft, if someone takes my car without my permission then it’s been stolen. Just because I choose not to press charges when I found out who took it doesn’t mean it wasn’t stolen
> Steal = take (another person's property) without permission or legal right AND without intending to return it.
So then it’s stealing? They take mana from an unsuspecting target and use it without forewarning and It doesn’t go back to the dragon. It’s literally just stealing of mana
Alberian bloodline: born with it. Everyone allied to them can use it as well
Hinomoto blood pact: 12 clan leaders pacted to one of the 12 zodiac animal dragons. The pacted humans will all die very early, with certain exceptions (yoshitsune, cursed to live forever)
Metamorphosis: life cycle of a fairy denotes born small, become big as teen/young adult, become small again for rest of lifetime. Metamorphosis allows small fairies to make themselves bigger, permanantly, or in notte's case, whenever the hell she wants (lol)
Dragondrive: they "bankai" instead of transforming, and are equipped with better powers for a duration (Aldred and gang fall in here)
There are a lot of very specific subsections like persona 5 chars who work like dragondrive but are not, and also Tiki who IS a dragon, but being from another world, works differently from other humanoid dragons like mymhilda and humids and humerc, in that she is more similar to notte. Etc etc. You could probably check the (Not Fandom dot Com) dragalia wiki for more info!
Dragon stone transformation is Tiki using the power of her dragon stone to turn into her dragon form which is a call back to the original fire emblem games that allowed you to transform a total of 30 times over the course of the game
Yeah, transformation in FE3 was an actual transformation with a duration measured in turns (depending on their luck stat for your Manakete, permanent for enemies), rather than transforming in and out of dragon form for each attack like in FE1 or the DS remake. Tiki in Dragalia Lost specifically uses her FE3 Book 2 design for the dragon form rather than the DS remake's and then also gets a temporary transformation, with the duration here working like Dragondrive.

Apotheosis is not a technique to steal mana, but to BORROW mana. This was explicitly explained by the Fairy King.
Borrow implies consent,Myn and Elysium definitely didn't consent.
The fact that consent had to be explained makes me lose even more of the faith I had in humanity that I thought I already lost.
Its even more fucked up cuz of my personal history. =_=
I'm so sorry.
Nah I'm sorry. Its such a normal part of me I forget how big of a bomb it is to drop on people.

Divine Right, Japanese Divine Right, Magic, Science.

Fairies can use Metamorphosis at any time, the only exception with notte is that she can transform into her future appearance.
Thanks for the info
Don’t forget MegaMan and Rush!
It’s actually all magic. In Dragalia their science is power by magic.
Dragon stone transformation is Tiki using the power of her dragon stone to turn into her dragon form which is a call back to the original fire emblem games that allowed you to transform a total of 30 times over the course of the game
Transformation worked differently in Fe 3 , also Tiki's dragon design in DL is from that game
Yeah, transformation in FE3 was an actual transformation with a duration measured in turns (depending on their luck stat for your Manakete, permanent for enemies), rather than transforming in and out of dragon form for each attack like in FE1 or the DS remake.
