Background Magic Field: Difference between revisions

* The Morphing Grid in ''[[Power Rangers]]''. Any time a Ranger exclaims, [[By the Power of Grayskull| “It’s Morphin’ Time!”]] they tapping into this field, whether they know it or not. The Morphing Grid is what enables them to use the [[Transformation Trinket]]s, and gives them a symbiotic link to the Zords. This is, by the way, why Rangers tend to be very upset should a Zord be destroyed (the breaking of the link can be traumatic) or why they are weakened should a Zord fall into a villain’s hands (the link would be corrupted). It sort of works like a magical database where each users' DNA code is copied and stored within, allowing the link to be initiated. Interestingly, the Morphing Grid is not a force of Good, but rather maintained by the [[Balance Between Good and Evil]], and the true goal of every villain in the franchise is to corrupt it and usurp its power entirely. The Morphing Grid does seem to be a physical location (seen only once, in the episode “Once a Ranger” in ''[[Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive]]'') where it is seen as a long, metallic corridor full of flashing lightning. Indeed, it is theorized that the "sparks" of "electricity" that appear whenever a Ranger or Zord is struck during a battle is residue from the Morphing Grid, a side effect of the energy field acting as a damage buffer.
