I have to ask, given this is a power rather than a character or the like... is "skin" or "eyes" really necessary?--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 04:54, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

It is neither a power of a character. It is a transformation. It is Sonic, but he has a different, has different abilties, looks different and is called something else, just like Super Sonic, therefore it is a transformation. And given that the infobox for transformation has different fields, we should try to fill them out at any chance we get.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 09:23, September 19, 2013 (UTC)
Bingo. The Ivory Lightning is the transformation/Color Power caused by the Hyper-go-on energy of the Ivory Wisp. -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 12:44, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

But... I'm not entirely sure they qualify as an actual transformation. His body changes sure, but I certainly wouldn't put it in the same class as Super Sonic or Werehog. Besides, "Ivory Lightning" is not the name of Sonic in this form; it's the name of the power itself. These things are more like the use of a Fire Flower from the Mario series, which isn't a proper "transformation" but rather a visual representation of the power in-use.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 03:26, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with you there, the name is more in the class of a power. However, it is a very fitting case for a transformation as well, regardless of name, so to improve its quality, it would make sense to add a template of this kind. Like you, I wish only to present best fitting material, and in my view, while I agree that this is a power, there has also occured a transformation of Sonic here, which alters his attibutes, so it seems only fitting that it is presented as such.
If it is important, how about altering the beginning content so it sounds more like a power, but still make it clear that it is also a transformation; like an attackinfobox and a description split like this: 

Description[]

Physical Appearance[]

Powers and Abilities[]
