#fractix

Tynix is another one of those transformations that barely counts as an official transformation. Basically Faunix(butterflix) gives the fairy a high tolerance to wild magic as well as some manipulation of it, but wild magic is still FOREIGN to the fairy’s core magic. What Fractix does is it actively fractures the fairy’s core magic, allowing the fairy to become a part of the wild magic. The Fractal Bracelet is made by the fairy and the fairy’s bonded animal picking a gemstone, and wrapping their core and wild magic around it. (theoretically any item could work but gemstones and minerals work best for the bracelets, it’s currently unknown as to why) It acts as a tether to the fairy’s core magic through their fairy animal. so like the animal is “holding” the fairy’s magic to keep it safe while they enter the flow of wild magic. While in the flow of wild magic the fairy has to find the corruption/blockage/leakage/ whatever the problem is at that source, and figure out how to fix it. A fairy working solo might have to take a couple trips to fix the problem, but the winx can generally get it done in one trip because there are six of them.  

this transformation is only done in emergencies when a wild magic source is completely out of wack and actively ruining an environment as the transformation itself is highly unstable and dangerous. This is even seen visually, as the fairy’s wings are barely attached to their back, are seeping into the shoulder blades, seem to be degrading as they’re transformed, are not contained within membranes the way normal wings are, and the wild magic is spilling out of their eyes, giving them the appearance of witch marks.  

If a fairy remains in Fractix for only a short time its not a big deal but the longer they stay the more side effects they suffer. colors or shapes appear on the back, eye colors change, the leaking magic might become permanent marks, and their wings have trouble forming in other transformations for a while, and eventually they dissolve into wild magic and can’t reverse it.
