The Cause of the Transformation
Steven's ability to manipulate his age is directly linked to his emotional state and his Gem. In "Steven's Birthday," his deep-seated desire to remain a child, particularly to stay the same age as Connie, causes his Gem to activate in an unusual way. This leads to an unstable aging process, where he rapidly de-ages into a baby, then over-ages into an elderly man, before eventually stabilizing back to his normal pre-teen self. This episode highlights the complex nature of Steven's powers, which are often tied to his emotional well-being and psychological state.
