The miraculous act like drugs, making the user more confident and reducing their inhibitions. But they’re also highly addictive
Gabriel is slowly turning evil as the butterfly miraculous slowly eats away at his inhibitions and turns him into the magical equivalent of a crackhead
The same thing is also happening to Marinette and Adrien and their temporary heroes, but we don’t notice
Chloé has become highly addicted to the bee miraculous, and is unknowingly going through magical withdrawal. She does want to be a hero, but she’s become desperate for her magical fix, and akumas are the only way to replicate that feeling
Finally introduce a new character who has gone full magical crackhead. He wants all the miraculouses so that he can feel like a god
