Trivia[]

• The spell is on page 149 with extended notes on page 150.
• The spell does not require all Elements Powers. The ones that are not required are Water, Wind, Time, the elemental essences, and all the elements that were introduced in Dragons Rising, including those created after the Merge.^[3] While Chen refers to having "Every Elemental Power," he is a liar and a criminal so his statements should not be taken as fact.^[4]
  • Tommy Andreasen implied that Chen didn't need Garmadon's power for the spell because Destruction is not an element.^{[citation needed]} This in turn means that elemental essences are not needed, which in turn explains why Chen didn't specifically invite Garmadon and Wu nor why he didn't bother to obtain the Golden Armor.
  • It is possible that the spell needs only active/actively used Elemental Powers in Ninjago, because all of the other aforementioned elements were either inactive, unused or inaccessible:
    • Nya had the power of Water (which she inherited from Maya) dormant inside of her at the time of Tournament of Elements, awakening and learning to control it in the next season.
    • Morro and his power of Wind were trapped in the Cursed Realm, being freed at the end of the season.
    • Time was was absorbed and split into the four Time Blades, one hidden under the Boiling Sea for years and the other three being trapped in the Temporal vortex ("or lost in time").
    • Shockwave was wielded by Levo in Imperium.
    • Heat and Quake had no known hosts.
    • Wu and Garmadon actively abstained from using Creation and Destruction, respectively.
    • Following the events of Rebooted, no living being wielded Golden Power, which only existed in the Golden Armor and the Golden Mech.
    • The Overlord and his Darkness were rendered dormant at the time.
    • Brute Force, Decay, Swarm, Misfortune, Fear, used by the Forbidden Five, were trapped in the Nether-Space alongside the Five.
    • Other elements, like Size, Figment, and Reflex either had no known hosts or did not exist as Elemental Powers until after the Merge.
• For some reason, the spell's effects wore off when Garmadon and Chen were banished in "The Corridor of Elders," explaining why the two appeared in their human forms again in "Curseworld, Part II."^[5]
  • Eyezor and Zugu reappeared in their Anacondrai forms in "Day of the Departed" even though Chen remained in his human form. However, this has nothing to do with the transformation spell and is presumably a result of their unseen Hall of Sidekicks statues depicting them in Anacondrai forms.
