Magic

Magic (魔法) is the embodiment of an "idea" that produces some effect in accordance with a specified law. As an example, a magic releases images that "take away heat" or "burn things", in the form of energy, and as an ancillary effect, physical phenomena such as ice and fireballs are generated. Since the physical phenomena are not the main focus and the main subject is the embodied image, the effect is extended to spiritual life-forms.

The eight elements are in a conflicting relationship of earth > space > wind > water > fire > earth, with light and darkness opposing each other in equal measure and time as the strongest element that is effective against all other elements.

Elemental Magic
Elemental Magic (元素魔法) or Aspectual Magic is magic cast directly using magicules. It operates by controlling the surrounding magicules to bend the laws of nature, using the caster's mental power and incantations as a medium. More powerful spells will require greater concentration and longer incantations.

The created phenomena is unaffected by other physical factors - for example, magical flame conjured using elemental magic cannot be extinguished by ordinary water. However, it can be disrupted or disabled by spells and properties affecting magicules, like "Magic Jamming" or "Holy Field".

Examples of Elemental Magic:
 * Icicle Lance
 * Fire Ball
 * Napalm Burst
 * Wind Cutter
 * Tornado Blade
 * Teleportation
 * Warp Portal

Spiritual Magic
Spiritual Magic (精霊魔法) has a lot of offensive spells that are similar to Elemental Magic. It borrows the power of spirits (Most commonly Elementals) by using a small amount of the users energy as a catalyst, the spirits powers can be exercised. Spiritual Magic that utilizes the power of elementals — beings whose existence are based on natural phenomena, obey the laws of physics and can be cast even when an anti-magic field is active.

Spiritual Magic requires no chants and anyone can use it as long as they are connected with their contracted spirits. However, it is necessary to be liked by spirits in order to be recognized and form a contract. Higher level users can even summon their contracted spirits and utilize their power directly, by ordering them to attack or fusing with the summoner.

Examples of Spirit Magic:
 * Aerial Blade
 * Thornbind
 * Inferno Flame
 * Curse Bind

Holy Magic


Holy Magic (神聖魔法): Holy magic is, in essence, magic that manipulates holy energy and purifies magicules via the power of the "Faith" of the user and sometimes "Miracles". It can be considered a type of spiritual magic that requires making a pact with a spirit that is "Divine" in nature.

Holy Magic can be applied to a wide variety of effects including dispelling curses, curing illness, and healing wounds. Although its number of offensive spells is low, they're highly effective against almost all monsters.

Further beyond this, if ones faith is high enough, one can tap into the "Divine Miracles" which allows for the utilization of "Spiritrons," the basic building block of all magical energy, to perform advanced and powerful magics, such as Disintegration or Resurrection.

Examples of Holy Magic:

Basic Class

 * Recovery
 * Healing
 * Holy Cannon
 * Holy Bell
 * Holy Field

Miracle Class

 * Disintegration
 * Holy Ray
 * Resurrection

Summoning Magic
Summoning Magic (召喚魔法) is a branch of magic that involves summoning a living being from another plane of reality and requires mastery of spatial type magic to perform. The most commonly used Summoning Magic is that of summoning Daemons, Elementals, and Monsters.

Engraving Magic
Engraving Magic (刻印魔法): Magic that allows the user to "enchant" people or objects with spells which allows them to use magic without having related knowledge or skills. It can also be used to design fully autonomous magical devices that are self-sustaining, like the automatic barrier generator installed along the pathway connecting Tempest and the Kingdom of Blumund.

Physics Magic
Physics Magic (物理魔法) refers to any Magic that has a purely physical output that is not interfered or maintained by magicules and therefore able to bypass any kind of anti-magic defenses. Prominent examples include Rimuru's Megiddo and Argos.

Necromancy
Necromancy (死霊魔法) is a type of Spiritual Magic that utilizes the negative emotions of evil spirits and the dead. Zombies and other apparitions can be summoned to attack any living being and sap their life energy. These creatures are very weak to holy magic.
