"possible but rare to have more than one divine protection" *Reinhard on screen* Reinhard over here with a passive ability to give himself passive abilities
This guy once mistaken salt with sugar and wished for the "Divine Protection of Salt Reasoning". It enables user to never mistake salt with sugar. Imagine being born with that protection.
yin is dealing with the spiritual (mental things) and yang with the physical. to my IRL experience these depictions are accurate many people are possessed with spirits to some degree that end up making them who they are. Most of these spirits are i believe self created and if not are hindering the mind. (can't think straight)
@@jacob9673 not entering the arguement of whether deceiving entitys that influence your mental psyche using some unorthodox non observable force exist or not. But i have been wanting to question someone like yourself, what urges you to argue someones beliefs of supernatural forces? For instance yin and yang, i myself have encountered someone who believed themselves to be an empath one that could feel others emotions, aswell as sense ghosts and other spiritual forces, instead of arguing this belief and outwardly trying to disprove that they could in fact Not sense emotions or see spirits as they werent being outwardly dickish about it and seemed to have more enjoyment out of day to day life. instead of taking this from them disproving their beliefs and removing what makes them special in their mind, i allowed them to carry on this belief, as it didnt seem to hurt themselves or others so (as i was aware of) why do you argue otherwise for this guy? TLDR; why argue people's spiritual beliefs if it doesnt affect you or others but instead just angers one or both partys? (Assuming they arent being dicks about it)
For me it's the fact that the magic system is actually understandable and makes sense, while other anime are just like "it's magic and that's all there is to it"
My take is that Tappei meant that as in magical skills, Roswall is likely much more skilled, but Puck is just overwhelmingly strong. So it's ranking in regards to technique, but Puck is just brute magical strength.
Nah roswaal himself has vast stores of mana to use. He has something akin to pick when he has to release mana but he does it daily instead with ram for spoiler reasons that I can't get into.
@@chrisanderson2056 Roswaal can construct and cast five spells at the same time, which theoretically requires five human brains functioning in parallel, and his strongist magics are actually just compounded spells stacked on top of each other. Puck is nowhere near that skilled, but as the Beast of the End, has massive mana reserves that literally only Emilia can satisfy in the entire series (her mana reserve is off of the charts).
@@Echidnut yea I just imagine the ability to control fire like that you could burn someone or make the temperature go down to zero and freezing everything around you it sounds overpower
I wanna point out that it’s a misconception even within the re:zero universe that Yin magic is ‘debuffs’, it’s simply such a rare element to have an affinity with that advanced users of it essentially don’t exist as no one lives long enough to learn lost forms and it’s so rare that yin users don’t meet often, let alone enough to pass knowledge of the magic down through generations. [SPOILERS FROM NOW ON FOR ANIME ONLYS] Beatrice is the ONE known exception to this, as she is a great spirit with a Yin affinity, and has spent 400 years learning about it and becoming likely the most advanced Yin user in history, she’s capable of utilising the element to its full capability, and through her we find out that Yin magic is actually at its core the manipulation of space and time, the most basic of spells like Shamac manipulate space slightly to cause visual and auditory illusions, but the highest form of the same spell, which has been lost to time except in betty’s case, is capable of sending its target to another dimension entirely. Additionally, Beatrice’s Minya spell appears to just be crystallised Yin mana, but the way they damage their target and the way Betty describes them tells us otherwise, the mana arrows created by the spell are actually made of mana that has been frozen in time, or ‘stagnant time’ as Betty says, this is why they can’t be deflected and are so deadly, if one pierces you it begins freezing you in time until your body crystallises into stagnation as well, at which point you fall apart. There’s so much more to it and the way that spell forms can be manipulated in the imagination of the magician before being released means that even Subaru can alter it to make the Minya arrows more deadly, explosive, serrated etc and advanced yin users like Betty can cause the shards of the arrows to stand perfectly still acting as immovable fields of razor blades or even create rifts in space time with a spell like Minya, which she does while fighting the great rabbit to annihilate some of them. Her door crossing is also a manipulation of space, as is her ability to nullify gravity, teleport herself and others both short and long distances, and more recently her ability to warp the space time around herself and Subaru to create an effect similar to regulus’ authority, preventing those inside the distortion from being touched by anything and everything from the outside, as it simply cannot pass through a barrier of warped space and frozen time, just with a mana limiter rather than the way regulus’ authority works.
Whenever I thought about magic systems I thought about deciding magic into categories like gravity magic being used to either control objects or control yourself (I. E. Flight and weight) or heat magic being used for cold and hot, so when I heard you mention that fire and ice where part of the same affinity I was like ey, somebody finally pushed that dynamic.
Control over heat would involve both the ability to infuse and extract heat energy, so it would naturally follow that it would cover fire and ice. Why more systems don't do this is usually a result of elemental nonsense.
@@krejman ah that but it is a pseudo-magic that is just alien technology. What I meant was something like an unknown force that is called magic and how it works and operate obey the law of physicists like what the original comment said. Both ice and fire magic is just controlling the heat in the molecule or heal just accelerate the rate of your cell division and blood, etc.

Sad it was delayed till summer, but oh well, just another reason to pick up on the web-novel I just realized existed. I have read plenty o'light novels before, so this should be one major addition to my overall entertainment. God bless Echidnut for linking the webnovel.
This video is well made. Kudos to the creators. This is the only rezero vid that does not yield crappy videos just to gain viewers. The editing is spot on.
Thanks for this video, I'd recently decided to read the novels from the end of Arc 3 after rewatching the anime, and even though I understood the magic system in Re:Zero was more complex than those usually in anime, this video was really helpful in elaborating on that. I really appreciate how in-depth this system is, reminds me a lot of Fate/Stay Night's magic system (the novels for that series are also super detailed about how magic works), and the concept of mana and od is very similar between the 2 series as well.
As someone attempting to run a DnD campain set in the world of re:zero I can't thank you enouch for this, there's only so much info the wiki can give and You are a lot better at explaining it
Unfortunately I don't have that information, sorry! But my guess is that Subaru will eventually save Satella from herself, and due to her time manipulation powers, she can see the future so she knows he's gonna save her, and that's why she loves him
@@gentianhalili5756 we dont know for sure if she likes him for that reason but that he smells like flugel was certain and stated by a character on arc6
Wait, so Reinhard doesn’t have magic? I mean, wow, imagine if he was as skilled as Julius in magic, he’d be even more busted, and he’d probably have like fifteen divine protections that let him cast his magic instantly and flawlessly and always at full power, god, he’s already so fucking busted, just imagine, there wouldn’t be any conflict in the story, Reinhard would just win
Your breakdown is fascinating because other than Return by Death, I don't remember there being any magic in the show at all...Yeah, no idea how I failed to remember that, haha! Thanks for the cool video :D
I'm making a power system in my shonen manga and its called Zen Two which is a martial arts technique that focuses on the manipulation of prana (life energy). I know that Re:Zero also calls magic prana but prana in my manga series is directly drawn from the original hinduistic version the word and concept of ki/chi/qi. Zen Tai is way too complex for me to explain in this comment but it basically centers on the idea that prana is basically everything as well as being the life blood of the universe. Prana is also treated as something very special and sacred since when someone unlocks their ability to use it they are usually considered to be awakened or enlightened and can never go back to how their lives were before. However if it is used incorrectly it has a variety of consequences such as accelerated aging or insanity. Prana also deals with opposing forces living together in harmony as well as self discovery and the idea that true strength comes from maturity and understanding rather than latent power and pure force of will. This system also demands that one must be strategic to win fights.
Also, if I remember correctly, the author recently tweeted that Anastasia has the weakest gate out of every character, with Roswaal still having the best one...
I'm reading trough the QnAs the author did, and more on the power scaling: I think the characters you mentioned are something along the lines of having the highest magic abilities, the list of the strongest battle strength ways, characters is: Reinhard>Ram with horn, Regulus, Sekhmet and Puck's true form(witho including the ones that have not appeared up to that point, which was about 3 years ago) ... Although Reinhard could take them on all at once... Also, Ekidna apparently has the highest IQ... I swear, one of these days, I'm gonna completely spoil myself, but whatever
If i could have an affinity for any of the types of magic but irl, i would want Fire/Temperature affinity or Yin Affinity Imagine wielding the power to basically be a walking Air Conditioner Or just *sHAAAAAMAAAAC*
A little adding. In terms of incantation difficulty (from easiest to hardest): divine blessings->magic->autorities. Don't ask why (cause some explanations might touch arc 6 spoilers).
11:36 you cant say his divine protection is useless in general. He became one of the best merchants o.0 being rich and having good connections is also a power :D
Interesting. Didn't know the magic system of Re:Zero was this deep. Never noticed Rem using those different Huma spells, kinda works like Final Fantasy in that its like Fire, Fira and Firaga. The whole using fire to make ice isn't new but it is rare. (Several fantasy novels and games do things like that but its absolutely more common to see ice as its own element or as part of water) I'd be interested to see all the spells once the series is over just to read thru them all. (don't want to ATM cause I'd like to avoid spoilers as much as possible)
The Od Laguna concept reminds me to the Administrator concept in Tower of God For those who don't know (ToG Anime onlys), in ToG every floor is guarded by one big giant Administrator who rules all the Shinsu in the floor, as well as the most important tests of every floor. And if they percieve a disturbation of the Shinsu's flow or an overuse, they could came out to punish your or simply send you to another place
SPOILERS FOR ARC 6 After finding out that Satella's shadows are based on Yin Magic, I wonder if all the Authorities are extremely powerful, corrupt types of Yin Magic, or at least based on them. Gravity manipulation similar to what Hector does is possible with Yin Magic, for instance, as is manipulating the senses, which could explain Petelgeuse's Unseen Hands, and even Sirius' Authority. Hell, Subaru and Beako outright replicated Regulus' invincibility with Yin Magic. The only one I'm really stuck on is Lust's Variance and Change.
I do not think that authorities are an aplication of Yin Magic. Satella was mentioned to be the most powerful Yin magic user, but that could be even before she got the gene of envy, and even then we don´t know what her actual authority is. Echidna and Beako mention that uthorities are an extension of someone´s will, and an antithesis of Od Laguna. If anyhting, I´d describe them with our current knowledge as sort of divine protections you give to yourself. there are sure still a lot of mysteries to them, but I still believe they are not magic.
How do spirits work in this world, like are they actual spirits or something more physical? I know that some can be artificially created so they seem kinda weird.
Witch Cultists are mysterious in a lot of ways, but I'm guessing they're either using a different form of magic, or they're experienced enough to not need an incantation
If fire magic is actually manipulating temperature, it should be called temperature or even heat magic, not fire. Fire specifically refers to that red/yellow thing that burns which conducts a lot of heat, it has nothing to do with coldness. But the lack of heat generates coldness.
So, can you use magic outside of your affinity? Cause Rem can use Huma (Presumably a fire spell), but also has healing powers, and I doubt she's a Spirit Arts user, so that means she must be able to use water magic. She could just have an affinity for both fire and water magic, or maybe spells cast with your Od rather than Mana aren't limited by affinity (The phrasing was a bit unclear on that), but whatever it is, it's been bugging me since I first watched this video. I've also seen a lot of fanfics use the idea of channeling mana in its raw form through your body to enhance your physical capabilities as an explanation for the likes of, say, Wilhelm's crazy acrobatics against the White Whale. Is that canon, or just a widespread headcanon?
Question about Al Shamak. Would the spell teleport the target to a dimension of nothingness (the shadow realm, if you will) or to another world, like Earth or other fantasy worlds?
It really does make more sense for fire to control ice and not water. I mean we're used to it being the other way around but thinking about it being able to control water shouldn't mean you can control temperature.
So I'm thinking there's actually 4 types of magic in this universe! Where exactly do curses fit in those 3 types? It's not a spirit art or a Devine blessing, it's also not from a witch, so not an authority the most likely thing would be elemental magic, but curses reffed to separately from that, so it has to be a separate type of magic!
I want to hear the answer to this too. What I personally think is that curses are a secret amalgamation of elemental magic (like Roswaal's flight magic), and made in a way that sets a ticking bomb which can be easily removed (in low numbers) before its activation, but is designed to stick and runs its course after activation.
Curses are a non-elemental spellform that function differently to normal magic, as they’re often used to inflict damage by stealing mana from the target. They’re entirely separate from the elemental magic spells

The Earth, Fire and Wind part queuing the music had me dying lol, I had to rewind it back just to realize the unintentional yet intentional pun 😂
Good stuff man. This is very useful info. I actually didn't know a lot of this.
the magic system in re zero is quite unique, saw the whole anime series twice and had no idea the words before the spell had any meaning
FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!
Rezero stans m.imdb.com/title/tt14123380/?ref_=tt_ep_nx

Keep up the fantastic work with the Re:zero Vids Echidnut i would say that Beatrice, is very powerful with her Yin magic
Echidnut is greater than or equal to Reinhard Van Astrea
That's a bold statement
I will deny that. In every aspect, Reinhard is superior. Except in casting magic
@@IEatBears4Breakfast eyyy

@@copiumuser3134 indeed. I slipped up. I have made a mistake. A mistake that could have cost a lot of lives. I trusted a Sin Archbishop. He seemed reasonable.

Well,explained,good choice of words,didn't spoil to much,and fine editing skills 9/10
Much appreciated!
Reinhardt: I don't need magic cause I have des damn blessings boi.
Keep up the good I love the content you’re making
Love your vids also re zero season 2 hype
The hyped is real with the Re:zero Fandom
Yesssss hopefully Subaru gets that happy ending
@@user-mm2zj3mz3u Yeah I'm with you on that man Subaru better get a happy ending Team Rem
Sad it was delayed till summer, but oh well, just another reason to pick up on the web-novel I just realized existed. I have read plenty o'light novels before, so this should be one major addition to my overall entertainment. God bless Echidnut for linking the webnovel.
your content is so great! keep it up! lets hope you get big boast on subs when second season drops!
HOLY SHIT I NEVER EXPECTED AL SHAMAC TO APPEAR IN THE ANIME
This video is well made. Kudos to the creators. This is the only rezero vid that does not yield crappy videos just to gain viewers. The editing is spot on.
Thanks for this video, I'd recently decided to read the novels from the end of Arc 3 after rewatching the anime, and even though I understood the magic system in Re:Zero was more complex than those usually in anime, this video was really helpful in elaborating on that. I really appreciate how in-depth this system is, reminds me a lot of Fate/Stay Night's magic system (the novels for that series are also super detailed about how magic works), and the concept of mana and od is very similar between the 2 series as well.
Another great vid :^) thanks for the comprehensive breakdown ^^
Great content my dude, keep up the great work!
As someone attempting to run a DnD campain set in the world of re:zero I can't thank you enouch for this, there's only so much info the wiki can give and You are a lot better at explaining it
Where were you all this time I ve missed you
♡good video♥
And can you explain about subaru and satella love story in next video pls I need information
Unfortunately I don't have that information, sorry! But my guess is that Subaru will eventually save Satella from herself, and due to her time manipulation powers, she can see the future so she knows he's gonna save her, and that's why she loves him
My information are that subaru reminds satella lover flugel and he smells like him and thinks I ve readed in web novels I don t know if im correct
@@gentianhalili5756 Yep, they smell the same
@@gentianhalili5756 we dont know for sure if she likes him for that reason but that he smells like flugel was certain and stated by a character on arc6
I'm so glad I got to see your channel blow up
8:24 You are amazing for this
Wait, so Reinhard doesn’t have magic? I mean, wow, imagine if he was as skilled as Julius in magic, he’d be even more busted, and he’d probably have like fifteen divine protections that let him cast his magic instantly and flawlessly and always at full power, god, he’s already so fucking busted, just imagine, there wouldn’t be any conflict in the story, Reinhard would just win
Your breakdown is fascinating because other than Return by Death, I don't remember there being any magic in the show at all...Yeah, no idea how I failed to remember that, haha! Thanks for the cool video :D
Instructions weren't clear so I blew up previous universe. Fortunately this universe Echidnut was clear AF. Thank you Echidnut. 🙏🏻
I'm making a power system in my shonen manga and its called Zen Two which is a martial arts technique that focuses on the manipulation of prana (life energy). I know that Re:Zero also calls magic prana but prana in my manga series is directly drawn from the original hinduistic version the word and concept of ki/chi/qi. Zen Tai is way too complex for me to explain in this comment but it basically centers on the idea that prana is basically everything as well as being the life blood of the universe. Prana is also treated as something very special and sacred since when someone unlocks their ability to use it they are usually considered to be awakened or enlightened and can never go back to how their lives were before. However if it is used incorrectly it has a variety of consequences such as accelerated aging or insanity. Prana also deals with opposing forces living together in harmony as well as self discovery and the idea that true strength comes from maturity and understanding rather than latent power and pure force of will. This system also demands that one must be strategic to win fights.
Also, if I remember correctly, the author recently tweeted that Anastasia has the weakest gate out of every character, with Roswaal still having the best one...
Sounds about right
I'm reading trough the QnAs the author did, and more on the power scaling:
I think the characters you mentioned are something along the lines of having the highest magic abilities, the list of the strongest battle strength ways, characters is:
Reinhard>Ram with horn, Regulus, Sekhmet and Puck's true form(witho including the ones that have not appeared up to that point, which was about 3 years ago)
... Although Reinhard could take them on all at once... Also, Ekidna apparently has the highest IQ... I swear, one of these days, I'm gonna completely spoil myself, but whatever
So, Od Laguna is not a lifeform with a will, but if it were, and if it were to fight Reinhard, apparently Reinhard would win Xd
Well technically Subaru does since you know he practically destroyed his in his fight with Garfiel
@@missinglegs what, Reinhardt would win? I think od laguna can take away his blessings
Just a hunch, but what if Al shamak is the reason why Subaru was transported into another world in the first place
I am really grateful for your work and the effort you put into it...
Now I understand this universe better.
“So I wouldn’t recommend trying that in home”
Me: WAIT U CAN DO THAT?!
Great video! I would like to see another video about the Authorities and how they affect people along with Divine Blessings.
If i could have an affinity for any of the types of magic but irl, i would want Fire/Temperature affinity or Yin Affinity
Imagine wielding the power to basically be a walking Air Conditioner
Or just *sHAAAAAMAAAAC*
Then run away fron bully while they're in shamac.
Yin is very underrated.
In a nutshell, it literally let's you tamper with the laws of physics and reality. That's fucking awesome.
Nice video thanks for explaining how magic works in Re:ZERO
Re:ZERO Power System and Worldbuilding is severely Underrated
Very great and detailed video glad you put this back up
Came back for AL SHAMAC 🤩
Me 2
Dude you deserve more than 1000000 subscribers I swear you are awesome
A little adding.
In terms of incantation difficulty (from easiest to hardest): divine blessings->magic->autorities.
Don't ask why (cause some explanations might touch arc 6 spoilers).
Why
Divine blessing: passive
magic: skills
authorities: equipment
The video is finally back, cheers!
Legend has it David has watched this video to figure out why Puck is the Great Spirit of Fire.
Od Laguna giving Reinhardt every divine protection is the equivalent of putting all of your levels into one stat
7:38 YES, MC HUMAN HAVE EXTREMELY INSANE POWERFUL SHAMAC
Subaru’s gate is fucked, Beatrice, the most powerful Yin user, is another story
The true magic is that if this beatrice sits on your lap you will end up in the prison's cell faster than the rotation of black holes
11:36 you cant say his divine protection is useless in general. He became one of the best merchants o.0 being rich and having good connections is also a power :D
*Fire Magic makes you shoot Ice*
Makes sence..
Thank you so much, I have been wondering why puck was a fire spirit and yet still uses ice.
Glad I could help!
@@Echidnut Thanks, I just watched your most darkest rezero moment and I am serverlu traumatized and won't be able to sleep. Thanks!
tommorow Kadokawa is going to have a re:zero stream with info about season 2 so if your hype for season 2 i suggest watching that
also it's gonna be on the kadokawa youtube channel just to make that clear
love your vids
Love the channel, llooking forward to your next video, its rems birthday afterall
The most powerful being in Re:Zero
A *blob fish* with the sloth authority
Glad this video is back
Al shamak is just sending you to the shadow realm
Interesting. Didn't know the magic system of Re:Zero was this deep. Never noticed Rem using those different Huma spells, kinda works like Final Fantasy in that its like Fire, Fira and Firaga. The whole using fire to make ice isn't new but it is rare. (Several fantasy novels and games do things like that but its absolutely more common to see ice as its own element or as part of water) I'd be interested to see all the spells once the series is over just to read thru them all. (don't want to ATM cause I'd like to avoid spoilers as much as possible)
"Al Waifu!"
"Al Harem!"
Why isn't it working?
@@GreatestLeaf hahaha :(
cuz u dont have enough mana for them, not mention to the magic gate....
@@kitamurakol homie was willing to cut down his life for a sweet time
A harem of Al's what a wonderful prospect for anyone interested in cool dudes with only one arm
Wondered were this went, going to show my friend but it was gone thought I went crazy
7:30 Aand, we just saw Beako cast the Al Shamak
The Od Laguna concept reminds me to the Administrator concept in Tower of God
For those who don't know (ToG Anime onlys), in ToG every floor is guarded by one big giant Administrator who rules all the Shinsu in the floor, as well as the most important tests of every floor. And if they percieve a disturbation of the Shinsu's flow or an overuse, they could came out to punish your or simply send you to another place
SPOILERS FOR ARC 6
After finding out that Satella's shadows are based on Yin Magic, I wonder if all the Authorities are extremely powerful, corrupt types of Yin Magic, or at least based on them. Gravity manipulation similar to what Hector does is possible with Yin Magic, for instance, as is manipulating the senses, which could explain Petelgeuse's Unseen Hands, and even Sirius' Authority. Hell, Subaru and Beako outright replicated Regulus' invincibility with Yin Magic. The only one I'm really stuck on is Lust's Variance and Change.
I do not think that authorities are an aplication of Yin Magic. Satella was mentioned to be the most powerful Yin magic user, but that could be even before she got the gene of envy, and even then we don´t know what her actual authority is. Echidna and Beako mention that uthorities are an extension of someone´s will, and an antithesis of Od Laguna. If anyhting, I´d describe them with our current knowledge as sort of divine protections you give to yourself. there are sure still a lot of mysteries to them, but I still believe they are not magic.
very nice video hope to see more
How do spirits work in this world, like are they actual spirits or something more physical? I know that some can be artificially created so they seem kinda weird.
you got my like with the Yang joke :)
Now I am more hype about the upcoming next season of Re: zero😆😆
wow 100k already ? CG !
Got a good question for ya. Why don't witch cultists chant the spell when they cast those fireballs?
Witch Cultists are mysterious in a lot of ways, but I'm guessing they're either using a different form of magic, or they're experienced enough to not need an incantation
@@Echidnut According to the wiki, those who are experienced enough can indeed cast magic without incantations.
@@ScreamMario so roswaal not a pro like them? Cus he can’t do it
@@Ltmqt I think he did it once in season 2.
"While magic can be controlled, authorities will control you." *music stop
Shiver on my f*cking spine.
Finally an anime where people shouting their moves makes sense
So mute person can not cast magic until very talented ? T.T
As an anime only this was a very informative video. I'm hyped for season 2!
Echidna, looks like it reads A-kid-na, so ima call her such.
That is indeed how you pronounce it
No its. E-ki-do-na
If fire magic is actually manipulating temperature, it should be called temperature or even heat magic, not fire. Fire specifically refers to that red/yellow thing that burns which conducts a lot of heat, it has nothing to do with coldness. But the lack of heat generates coldness.
Echidnut: I won't spoil anything
Also Echidnut:
*shows scene where Rem kills Subaru*
To be fair, if they haven't even made it that far in the story, they wouldn't be watching this video
al shamak just fucking yeets kids to other dimensions? That's pretty dope.
So, can you use magic outside of your affinity? Cause Rem can use Huma (Presumably a fire spell), but also has healing powers, and I doubt she's a Spirit Arts user, so that means she must be able to use water magic. She could just have an affinity for both fire and water magic, or maybe spells cast with your Od rather than Mana aren't limited by affinity (The phrasing was a bit unclear on that), but whatever it is, it's been bugging me since I first watched this video.
I've also seen a lot of fanfics use the idea of channeling mana in its raw form through your body to enhance your physical capabilities as an explanation for the likes of, say, Wilhelm's crazy acrobatics against the White Whale. Is that canon, or just a widespread headcanon?
Huma is water magic, and I'm not sure about the acrobatics part. I always thought Wilhelm was just very strong physically
@@Echidnut Really? Huh, I swear I remember Emilia using it at some point too. My bad, I guess.
@@CABRALFAN27 I think she did too. It was probably Spirit Arts in that case
@@CABRALFAN27she's used healing magic before, but I don't remember her using huma specifically.
Question about Al Shamak. Would the spell teleport the target to a dimension of nothingness (the shadow realm, if you will) or to another world, like Earth or other fantasy worlds?
The shadow realm, jimbo.
It really does make more sense for fire to control ice and not water. I mean we're used to it being the other way around but thinking about it being able to control water shouldn't mean you can control temperature.
So I'm thinking there's actually 4 types of magic in this universe!
Where exactly do curses fit in those 3 types? It's not a spirit art or a Devine blessing, it's also not from a witch, so not an authority the most likely thing would be elemental magic, but curses reffed to separately from that, so it has to be a separate type of magic!
I want to hear the answer to this too. What I personally think is that curses are a secret amalgamation of elemental magic (like Roswaal's flight magic), and made in a way that sets a ticking bomb which can be easily removed (in low numbers) before its activation, but is designed to stick and runs its course after activation.
Beatrice said in episode 8 that curses are simple spells before activating, so they are in the Magic category
Curses are a non-elemental spellform that function differently to normal magic, as they’re often used to inflict damage by stealing mana from the target. They’re entirely separate from the elemental magic spells
Dark most likely.
@@tiazoh dark magic is repeatedly mentioned in reference to Yin magic, but Yin isn’t used for curses
The Earth, Wind & Fire joke still gets me lmao.
Rie Takahashi has the affinity to fire magic
EEXPPLLLOOOOSSSSIIIIOOOONNN!!!!!
I believe ur 100 percent correct dude keep it up broham
" I wouldn't recommend trying that at home " he said....
