Technology

“To understand the workings of the universe is to bend it to your will. Invention is the reimagining of the natural order.”
— Glen Lakin on Bluesky[1]

Technology (also referred to as Tech Power, Tech Abilities, and Tech[2]) is an Elemental Power in the Merged Realms that was created as a result of the Merge[3] and is derived from the Source Dragon of Focus.[1] It is associated with the colors pink and purple.

Users' abilities

Users' abilities[]

  • Technokinesis - The user can create, hack, interact, adapt to, generate, replicate, and manipulate technology.
    • Technology Augmentation - The user can enhance, augment, increase, modify, and multiply already existing technology. Sora used this to modify her Elemental Tech Mech in various ways.
      • Blade Retraction - The user can create blades from their mech's arms.
      • Shapeshifting/Weapon Arms - The user can morph their mech's arms into technological weapons, such as when Sora transformed one of her Tech Mech's arms into a laser cannon in "What the Mech".
        • Arm Extension/Expansion - The user can also stretch/expand their mech's arms into different shapes, as seen while Sora was turning her mech's arm into a cage to trap Cinder in "Rising Ninja".
        • Laser Beam Emission - As seen in "What the Mech?", the user can fire laser beams from their mech's arm after turning it into a laser cannon.
          • Energy Drain - As seen in "What the Mech?", Sora managed to use her mech's laser beams to drain the exotic energy affecting Lobbo.
        • Bolt Projection - The user can attack with bolts and control the intensity/power, while not as strong as a full attack. These bolts could be used to stun, burn, injure, or even penetrate/stab the enemy.
      • Technological Merging - As seen in "The Elemental Mechs", the user can merge their mech with parts from other machines. Sora used this to swap out some of her Tech Mech's limbs and join it with those of the other Elemental Mechs.
      • Technological Disassembly - The user can disassemble existing technology by dividing them into their specific components.
      • Technological Assembly - The user can also assemble existing technology, allowing them to put together machines of greater complex.
    • Technological Constructs - The user can create/manifest various kinds of technological constructs.
      • Armor Generation - The user can create any kind of technological armor (i.e. plating). Sora used this in "Absolute Power" to craft a weaponized armor which she equipped onto Jiro.
        • Force-Field Penetration - As seen in "We Are All Dragons", the armor was strong enough to penetrate the energy field surrounding Imperium.
        • Armor Empowerment/Energy Amplification - The armor can likely empower the wearer by giving them an energy boost, as Sora stated in "Absolute Power" that it will amplify Jiro's natural energy.
      • Mech Creation - The user can create mechs out of technological parts. Sora used this in "What the Mech?" to create mechs for Cole, Kai, and herself with Chronosteel. She also created two mechs made of Prismatic Ore for Lloyd and Arin.
      • Technological Imprisonment - The user can create technological devices to imprison people or things as seen when Sora created a tech cage to hold Cinder in "Rising Ninja".
        • Power Deactivation - The tech cage can disable any powers since it prevented Cinder from using Smoke.
    • Reconfiguration - The user can take apart, rebuild, and restructure piece by piece, leaving the target without defects of any kind, augmenting its attributes or overall quality.
    • Technology Infusion - The user can infuse technology into other objects and empower or energize anything touched or used. Sora used this in "What the Mech?" to transfer a bit of her tech power into Chronosteel when creating the three Elemental Mechs.
    • Technology Stopping - The user can cause technology to shut down or fail completely. Sora used this ability in "The Battle of the Second Monastery" to shut down the Photacs.
    • Wave Emission - As seen in "The Power Within", the user can release Technology in the form of a powerful wave.
    • Techno-Telekinesis - The user can move, manipulate, or otherwise interact with matter using technological/mechanical constructs.
  • Chronosteel immunity - Uniquely, Technology is unaffected by Chronosteel as when Sora touched it, she wasn't immediately depowered. It is possible that due to her powers originating from another realm, Sora has a degree of immunity to Chronosteel.
Weaknesses

Weaknesses[]

  • Technology Reliance - The user needs to be around technology or mechanical components for their power to work, as it is useless if there isn't any.
  • Element-proof Technology - If the mechanism is element-proof, they will not be able to use their powers on it, as seen in "Enter the City of Temples", and as explained in "The Vault of Focus" where Sora was unable to use her powers on the Security Bots.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • Technology is the first new Elemental Power to be introduced in Ninjago: Dragons Rising.
  • Similar to Shockwave, the user's eyes and hands glow when they use their powers. This may be due to the users and their powers being native and connected to the same realm.
  • So far, Technology is one of four Elemental Powers that are known to have been created by the Merge, with the others being Propulsion, Fusion, and Surface Tension.
