Sailor Crystals and Why They’re Important

As said before, every Sailor Senshi has a Sailor Crystal (also referred to as a Star Seed or Star Crystal), and this can appear in any shape and color; though, it usually matches your distinctive color. These crystals hold a Sailor Senshi’s powers, as they are born with their respective cosmic object. Speaking literally, a Sailor Crystal is the core of a Sailor Senshi.

It’s very important to take care of your Sailor Crystal! Very powerful enemies may try and steal them from you; it’s crucial you protect your Star Seed with everything you have!

“What happens if your Sailor Crystal gets damaged/broken/stolen?”

Don’t worry, for this is where the joy of this concept comes in! If anything happens to your Sailor Crystal, all you have to do is ask The Moon for another one. Simply look out your window at night, clasp your hands together, and explain what happened. After this, go to sleep. The next time you enter the dreamrealm, you should find a repaired Sailor Crystal waiting for you. But be careful! You can only ask for a new Sailor Crystal so many times. If you’re irresponsible, your prayer will not be answered, and you’ll have to wait one moon cycle (around 29 days) until you can try again. If you have not improved, however, The Moon will not grant you another! That’s why we recommend that if you have to wait one moon cycle, to use that cycle for training and getting stronger. Of course, feel free to take longer than one cycle if you feel it necessary! The Moon only wants you to be safe.

Transformation and Powers

As said before, Sailor Senshi’s have a transformation item that they use to transform into their magical self, which changes their appearance as well as giving them access to their powers. Your transformation item can be anything you want, from a mundane object in the physical to basically anything within the astral.

To transform, a Sailor Senshi will raise their transformation object and say; “[___] Prism Power, Make-Up!” To enemies in the astral, your transformation is instant, so don’t worry! For you, however, it can be like the entire magical girl transformation, or instant, it’s whatever you’d prefer.

Each Sailor Senshi has powers that tie directly to their cosmic object. For example, the Sailor Senshi of Pluto may have ice powers and the Sailor Senshi of Mars may have fire powers. You can choose whether or not to go off the powers shown in the anime, it doesn’t matter so long as it doesn’t clash with another cosmic object’s!

On this, every Sailor Senshi has the potential to learn basic moves such as; flight, teleportation, energy manipulation, telepathy, and more. Remember, there are no limits, you are stronger than you know, and you can do anything you set your mind to!

How to Become a Sailor Senshi

So, if you want to become a Sailor Senshi, it can be quite simple. There’s many different methods you can try;

Physical Ritual; The simplest of the methods. All you have to do is look out your window or go outside, and think of the cosmic object you wish to connect with. Close your eyes and imagine it. Speak to it, whether mentally or out loud, about why you want to become a Sailor Senshi. You can say anything you’d like.

After this, go to sleep; you should find confirmation in your dreams whether or not this worked, such as seeing your Sailor Crystal. If you have no dreams, then repeat this process the next night.

Lucid Dreaming; Go to bed and slip into a lucid dream. Once you’re there, imagine a portal that takes you from your dream to the cosmic object you wish to connect with. Once you walk through the portal, you should see your Sailor Crystal wrapped around a large mass of energy. Similar to the Physical Ritual, speak to the cosmic energy about why you want to become a Sailor Senshi. 

If you’re accepted, the cosmic energy should transfer over to you, giving you the Sailor Crystal. If you’re denied, you should just wake up.

Astral Projection; Go about your usual astral projection method. Once you’re separated from your body, you have one of two options; go about the Lucid Dreaming method (where you portal to your cosmic object), or stay where you are and follow the Physical Ritual. 

When speaking to your cosmic object, you can say anything you’d wish, but in order to complete the vow you must say;

“I, [name], vow to dedicate my energy to [cosmic object] as a Sailor Senshi, and to protect The Moon and Universe from the forces of evil.”

The Dreamrealm and Fighting 

The Dreamrealm is where this concept strays from the anime and manga. To keep beginner magi’s safe, this concept is centered in the dreamrealm to prevent any physical harm.

As you can guess, the Dreamrealm is the realm of dreams, and it’s where you already go every night! Literally all you have to do is sleep to access it. When you’re in the Dreamrealm, it’s similar to being in the astral, especially since Sailor Senshi’s thrive best when they have a good grasp on dreams. 

“So, I’m a Sailor Senshi and I have to fight. What should I do?”

First and foremost, your best shot is to find enemies during the day as a mortal. This is similar to the puella concept in ‘hunting’ for witches! When you find a monster (an entity that sucks up energy from others,) note it in your head or in a journal so you can return later in the dreamrealm.

When you’re in the dreamrealm, focus on this place or energy that you found. Something should open, whether a door or portal, inviting you to that energy. It’s advised you transform before entering so the monsters can’t identify you!

Once you’re through, beat that monster up to return the energy it’s stolen! Some of this energy will be returned to your Sailor Crystal as a reward; if you keep defeating monsters, your Crystal will shine brighter and brighter, allowing you to raise your potential and possibly unlock more forms!
