Art

Arts (技術) are techniques performed entirely through the users own capabilities, rather than through the completely automatic process of Skills. They can be performed by manipulating magicules, one's own innate aura, by chaining the effects of several skills together, or by any combination of the three.

Battlewill
Battlewill (気闘法) is a family of arts that makes use of the aura present in all living things to peform powerful physical attacks and effects that resemble magic. Unlike magic, these techniques do not require any sort of chant and usually have little to no casting time. Examples of Battlewill include, but are not limited to, body and weapon strengthening, presence concealment, creating aura constructs, blocking an opponent's regenerative capabilities, and flight.


 * Airflight (飛空法): An art that allows the user to freely stand and fly through the sky.
 * Aura Shield (闘気防壁): An art that creates a large defensive shield in front of the user that can block both physical and magical attacks.
 * Aura Slash (気斬): One of the most basic but also most deadly attacks within Battlewill's arsenal. The user launches their aura outwards from their weapon as a projectile.
 * Aura Sword (闘気剣): The user coats their weapon in aura using modelwill, this boosts the weapons durability and damage potential drastically.
 * Concealment (隠密): Allows the user to reduce the presence of not just themselves but others, as well as make them invisible. It's effective for hiding against regular people and monsters but can be seen through rather easily with sensory-type techniques like Magic Sense.
 * Death-March Dance (死者之行進演舞): An advanced application of Magic Bullet used by Gelmud and Geld I. The user creates projectiles that can split apart and be controlled remotely to hit the target from all sides.
 * Diamond Path (金剛法): The user strengthens the entire body to be as solid as, and similar in consistency to, metal. Allowing the user to brush off physical attacks such as cuts and protect them from things such as acid and fire.
 * Earthshatter Kick (烈震脚): An art used by Geld. The user sends their aura into the ground creating tremors that extend outwards and disrupt their opponent's movement.
 * Elephant Stampede (群象走乱): An art used by Carrion. he launches aura projectiles into the air and bombards his enemy from above with constant attacks.
 * Formhide (隠形法): Allows the user to hide their presence and form.
 * Haze (朧): Formhide pushed to it's absolute limit. The Art works in stages, First you rid yourself of any sound, then wipe away any smell and disguise your temperature, before finally wiping away your aura and spirit. The end result makes the user undetectable even to things such as Magic Sense. The only way to counter is pure intuition.
 * Heavy Slash (重破斬): An art that involves gathering the users aura around a heavy weapon such as an axe or hammer and slamming it down towards the enemy with enhanced force strong enough the shatter the ground.
 * Instantmove (瞬動法): Allows the user to rapidly increase their speed for a single movement, allowing for an almost teleportation like effect visually.
 * Magic Bullet (魔力弾): The user gathers their aura and surrounding magicules to form a dense ball of energy before firing at their target. One of the most basic arts but extremely versatile and scales to the users power.
 * Maximum Magic Bullet (極大魔力弾): An art used by Shion. The user gathers an intense amount of Aura into a magic bullet. It is capable of destroying a rather large area and completely obliterating the target's body.
 * Milim Punch (竜拳): Milim gathers a ridiculous amount of aura into her fist and beats up the baddies.
 * Milim Kick: Milim gathers an outrageous amount of aura into her leg then kicks any meanies away.
 * Modelwill (気操法): A fundamental technique that allows the user to create constructs out of their aura. They can also create bubbles able to encase objects, magic, or the effects of skills within.
 * Ogre-Sword Cannon (鬼刀砲): An art used by Shion. The user coats their sword in aura and fires off projectile slashes and beams along with their strikes.
 * Ogre-Sword Guillotine (断頭鬼刃): An art used by Shion. The user coats their blade with aura, but unlike Ogresword Cannon the aura remains around the blade and increases its size and sharpness.
 * Roaring Lion Punch (獅子胞拳): One of Carrion's finishing moves, He gathers his intense aura around his fist and punches into the target at full force. This attack was able to break the guard of Geld, a defense specialist, with ease and send him flying.
 * Slash Attack (風破斬): The users gathers their aura around their blade/s and launches it towards the opponent with a slash.



Hazy Style
The Hazy Style (朧流) is a family of sword skills intermingled with aura centric techniques. It was created by Byakuya Araki and passed down to his grandson Hakurou. This is the sword style used by most of the main characters in the series including Rimuru Tempest and Benimaru.

Veldora-Style Killing Arts

 * Hadoken (波動拳): An iconic move recreated by Veldora as a part of his "Veldora Style Killing Arts". The user gathers aura within their hands and fires it at their target. The lack of charge up time and effort makes it rather easy to spam!

Magic
The phenomena known as Magic (魔法) can be in the form of a Skill or an Art. The process of chanting, gathering energy, and constructing a magic circle is an 'Art'. Magic performed as an art will always have a weaker sway over the worlds laws than magic performed by a skill.

Mystic-Arts
Mystic Arts (yōjutsu) are an advanced form of Arts that involve adding magical properties to ones own aura, essentially fusing battlewill and magic to create a technique that surpasses the potential of either individually. Attacks with Mystic Arts encompass both physical and magical phenomenon, allowing it to be effective on virtually any being given enough power. Basic uses of Mystic Arts include coating a sword in magical properties and hurling Aura with magical effects at someone (similar to Elemental Magic).


 * Beast Roar (獣魔粒子咆): An attack used by Carrion normally reserved for taking out groups of targets or wiping out a large area. The user fires their intense magic-filled Aura outwards in a massive beam with properties similar to a particle cannon, making the attack not only extremely deadly but also incredibly fast. Carrion's all-out version of this was even able to slightly damage Milim Nava --a Dragonoid, equivalent to a True Dragon-- as well as an ultimate skill holder, despite himself being only a Demon Lord seed.


 * Blood Ray (血刃閃紅波): An art used by Roy Valentin. The user directly converts their blood/essence into magical power and fires it at the target at insane speeds like a particle cannon.


 * Demon Blaster (龍脈破壊砲): Clayman's ultimate attack that makes full use of the 'Leyline Manipulation' of the Unique Skill Manipulator. Clayman interweaves his magicules with the grounds natural leylines, amplifying them and shooting them out as destabilizing dragons made of light. The dragons ignore all physical defenses and can even bypass magical barriers, tearing the target apart from the inside out.


 * Leopard Fang Flaming Palm (豹牙爆炎掌): A magical art used by Phobio, the user gathers an intense amount of fiery Aura into their palm before releasing a devastating strike.


 * Melt Slash (崩魔霊子斬): The ultimate holy sword art used by Hinata. The user coats their weapon with Disintegration and uses it to rapidly accelerate towards their target at approaching light speeds. This technique is a sure-kill attack even against ultimate skill users.


 * Melt Strike (崩魔霊子突): A different take on Melt Slash by Granbell Rosso that allows the user to shoot concentrated near light speed sword beams outwards on top of enhancing their regular strikes. This technique is a sure-kill attack even against ultimate skill users.


 * Mystic Thread Strike (操糸万妖斬): An art used by Souei. It imbues the 'One-Hit Kill' from his Shadow Striker unique skill with several other negative status effects inside of Sticky-Steel thread. The threads are capable of bypassing most resistances and even tear the targets spiritual body to shreds.


 * Ogre Flame (鬼王の妖炎): An art used by Benimaru, it's a technique that directly converts the user's aura using the surrounding magicules into manipulatable flames.


 * Storm Break (暴風黒魔斬): Rimuru's original technique based on Melt Slash. The user's blade is coated in highly potent Storm Magic attributes, and while it may not have a lot of raw power in comparison to Melt Slash, it makes up for it with how it seeps into and corrodes the body from the inside out, nullifying regeneration and dealing damage over time.


 * Vortex Crash (渦槍水流撃): An art used by Gabiru, the user imbues their aura into the Vortex Spear which gets mixed with the spear's own magical enchantments, before unleashing it at their target.
