I was watching the eppisode Damaged Goods when just after the score for the Drag Ball competition became 2 to 1 Artha having just made his first goal, just after that if you look at the Mag stream supporting Artha you will see that it is plainly BLACK DRACONIUM!YouTube
At 9:10 you will see exactly what I am talking about. I have seen it where Beau randomly uses red draconium as well but I am unable to locate it for the moment. Anyone else think of times when Beau uses different colors?

Honestly, I think that's just an animation error. If you watch "Return of Drakkus, part 2" you'll see they also mixed up the mag colors for Abandonn and T. Pax in a brief shot or two. These things are interesting to note (it goes on the list of "You know you're obsessed when..." :)), but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't mean anything in the story itself.

The only scene I'm aware of when Beau genuinely uses black mag energy is in "Broken Bonds". We know it's genuine because Word calls it out. And of course, Beau uses red energy in "Pride of the Hero" for obvious reasons. ^_^ ;)

It is most likely an animating error, but in Broken Bonds, which the Furox has already mentioned, Word says something like "WHAT? He's learned to control the black energy?" So maybe he can use black energy whenever he likes too.

Yes, I personally believe Beau can now use both black and red mag energy at will. I even used that little tidbit in my fan fiction There's a Dragon in My Time Machine. (*Shameless plug* ;))

I wouldnt be at all supprised if he has allready masterd brown draconium because youd think that if he could transform to an Earth Class Dragon he could at least be able to use it.

That's true, but we haven't seen him actually use brown mag energy. Maybe as a gold dragon he has ties to all of the mag energies, but he can only actually use them when instinct takes over, or when the energy touches him.
Any other thoughts?

I remember reading some place that Beau can use all draconium colours :P

Well, Beau can mag all gear colors. That much is clearly stated both in the show and the TCG. And we've seen Beau draw in other colors of mag energy and use them in "Fanning the Flames," "Horn of Libris," "Pride of the Hero," and "Broken Bonds" so he seems to have no trouble using other colors to augment his own energy when they're available and when he needs them.

I guess the question is whether he particularly needs to use other colors on a regular basis when he's already quite adept at gold energy. Unless there's a special reason to use another color, like I invented in my fan fiction, then maybe he's just better off using gold for the same reason that T. Pax uses gold energy even though he's a blue dragon.

Well, maybe using other mag energy is something you learn in the academy. Dragons apparently mutate when they're exposed to the special training, so maybe when TP mutated, Connor made him use gold energy a lot to change him into a gold dragon. Not a real gold dragon, but an altered blue dragon. Dragons who go to the academy can use other colours too, but since Beau's a lot stronger he can use them somewhat now.
*slaps head* I just had a brainwave!!!! Maybe Beau's parents were normal dragons who underwent academy training, and it changed them like TP changed as above. Then they became very adept at using the gold energy and it affected their bone colour a little. when they bred together, the gold bone in their altered bodies was enough to produce a PURE GOLD dragon of legend, and because everyone knew of their mutation it aroused no suspicion because their scale colour had simply changed. After all, if TP is a blue dragon, his scales would be blue, but when he was altered his scale colour changed too!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh. Did I just discover the answer? Someone please reply!!!!! :eep: :faint:

I realy like your theory Da Suga Queen ;) But I doun't know if its the truth :plot: Maybe :plot: It could be :dance:

As far as I know, the scales of a dragon don't have to be the same colour as their bone colour. They can show secondary influences. Which is why we've once seen a red dragon whose scales were all green. (Someone posted a picture of that on this board, somewhere...) And Swayy's dragon is a hot pink colour, even though she's a black dragon. I don't think scale colour can change, even if the dragons themselves mutate and evolve.

The Magna Draconis said, "Connor had spent his entire life trying to mix dragon breeds and hopefully, breed the return of the "black and gold dragon", he did indeed manage to return the "Star-Class" dragon to existence." So Connor spent his whole life mixing dragon breeds, and not taking two evolved dragons and having them mate. It took a lot longer than that.

I do like your theory, having two evolved dragons who changed their draconium in their bones to gold having a gold dragon. I wonder why it hasn't happened, and why a gold dragon hasn't come because of that.

Hmm, yeah. You're probably right. Unless he had to breed the dragons to get the right ones to get altered or something like that, but probably not.
Although my theory did explain why two large gold-coloured dragons weren't thought of as suspicious... but I guess there are a few problems with it as well. *sigh* oh well, back to the drawing board! :rolleyes:
