I think I know the reason why Maleficent didn't turn into a dragon when facing Chernabog

Let me just say, what if every magic user has 100% of power ?

For example, turning into a dragon costs Maleficent 80% of power (because it's a very powerful magic)

- In season 1, she flicked Charming onto the ground (which cost her 20% maybe) then she blew the light off (which cost her the same maybe).

After that, she still had nearly 80% to spare so she could turn into her dragon form

. However, in season 4B, when she absored the flame, it cost her almost 50% of power (because it's so strong).

So she couldn't turn into a dragon because she didn't have enough energy. Finally, she shot some magic at the beast, which cost over 20% ...

This is just my opinion. The number is not necessarily real :3

P/S : I know that the show can't afford too many CGI scene but I like to think of something else
