#ill include it in Alluras arc rewrite

[voltrons-legendary-defender]

To elaborate,

Not much is spoken about the magical properties in Voltron. Allura's abilities off memory are, energy manipulation, teleportation (wormholing), healing, absorbing quintessence, spiritual abilities.

I never liked that there are supposedly less 'magical' alteans. It's not clear on what determines that, so far the only magical Alteans we know of is Honerva and Allura.

Literally no other Altean has been shown to have magical gifts, including Alfor. So I've decided to change that, to any Altean can master alchemy however it takes many years and meditation to master.

Even then, you wouldn't have the ability to wormhole or manipulate mass amounts of energy the way Allura can. (Wormholing doesn't require magic anymore, rather quintessence or some nuclear energy is required to start it)

After finding Voltron, yes finding Voltron. In my rewrite, Voltron is a entity from a higher dimension, Alfor didn't make it. Because 1, where did the inspirations of Lions even come from. 2, Because I said so.

He's communicated with Voltron, studied the properties of quintessence with Honerva and suddenly he had a crazy idea. He needed to develop a way to make it easier for Alteans to practice alchemy, aside from ritualistic practices and years of studying just to do one task.

Alfor experimented on himself with quintessence from Voltron, then on Allura, but after he saw how crazy Honervas experimenting made her he felt inclined to quit. Of course, he never told anyone and then Alfor dies. (By the waaaay, Allura's mom is dead. She's not relevant to the story anyways)

Already, this literally explains how Allura is able to read the traits from the paladins, or even understand the lions. (Or open a rift to the quintessence field) I understands she's probably learned some stuff from her father but, like cmon.

Slightly off topic but Allura and Lotor still do visit Oriande. It's just not in a white hole and no chosen Altean can only enter. It's just a galactic Bible somewhere in a galactic library. Instead the way to get there is to practice a ritual, both Lotor and Allura learn valuable information from their ancestors.

Like I said, this doesn't help with Allura's abilities, instead she has to go to Voltron for that.

In general Alteans have the ability to heal, like small wounds, glow instead of camouflage, nurturing, can control their body temperature. They practice ancestral worship, lucid dreaming and rituals.

Allura is 100% a science experiment, because there's no reason why she's so powerful.

At least in my version she is a science experiment conducted by Alfor, inspired by the work Honerva was doing. Although nobody knows just how far and wide Alluras abilities can expand, not even her ancestors. It's up to her to figure it out.

The best teacher around is none other than Lotor, who oddly doesn't want to exploit Allura for her gifts. It only inspires him in his conquest to gain control for the universe.
