Holy magic神聖魔法, shinsei mahō is a type of elemental magic, requiring a contract with a holy spirit or a god. For the purposes of holy magic, any being capable of manipulating spiritrons is sufficient as a god.[1] Despite being a form of elemental magic, it is considered one of the four main magic types.

Principles[]

For a person to use holy magic, they need to form a "pact" with a god or be a god themselves. The condition to learn holy magic as a believer is simply a heart that believes in miracles. The power of faith信仰の力, shinkō no chikara turns their strong thoughts or feelings into power, making it accessible to even monsters and daemons. Once a pact is created between the god and believer, the believer uses their god's "name" as a medium to open a soul-based channel between the two, offering mana in exchange for the god's assistance.

On the god's end, since there's no way to assist many people at once, they link together and borrow the cumulative computational power of their believers to share the burden of putting the magic together. Since the burden placed on the user is low, the resulting holy magic's strength depends almost entirely on how much "faith" the user has in their respective god. The stronger the believer's "faith" is, the stronger the connection between the two is, and as a result, the stronger the magic becomes.

Types[]

Holy magic can be split into two distinct categories based on the type of power being borrowed from/used by the respective god.

Basic-level[]

Basic holy magic spells make use of holy power that can purify magicules and heal wounds. While its offensive options are minimal and don't work very well against regular beings, against monsters and especially undead, they're almost always a sure-fire kill.

Trivia[]

  • In Luminism, being able to use "Miracles" is required to advance to the rank of Bishop.
  • In Seven Deadly Sins Grand Cross [Oni Princess] Shuna uses Holy Bell as a healing move and with a Holy Relic she can cleanse one debuff excluding Death Matches.
