Magic Elements

The Six Magic Elements

"Magic" is the common term used to refer the magical system in the Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki series.

Overview[]

The magic system in Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki is based on the user's aptitude for different elements. There are six defined elements that one can use, namely: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light and Dark.

Mechanics[]

All people in the Other World have the ability to use Magic by utilizing the element called "Magicium", but the ability to use it depends on that persons aptitude and knowledge on Magic.

Aptitude for Magic may vary from being able to use it on basic low scale level, to an advance level of being able to imbue it on weapons to increase range or power or apply additional affect, and then finally being able to use it on a more profound experienced level of manipulation of the elements directly, for greater affects. The people who are able to use Magic on a profound experienced level are generally referred as "Mage".

In order to verify the type and element of Magic a person can use, they use a devices which looks like a 'stone slate', that makes the person view the type of magic and its abilities in their mind when they touch it. No one currently knows the principle and mechanic on how the 'stone slate' works, mainly because its an artifact from lost ancient magic technology.

In order to use magic, there is generally no need for spells or any incantation, as the effect mainly depends on how a person wants to use it. Below are the different types of elements:

New Reveals[]

  • According to studies by Morse Butchy, the head of "The Work Songs Society". Listening to songs seems to help enhance the power of magic used by individuals. The base principal behind this concept is that, by enabling the listener to envision more clearly on a particular point, it helps the listener to boost the power of their magic spells based on what they perceived. For example, if a person hears a song which helps them envision flames more clearly, then that users fire magic is boosted as a result. This theory applies on any work or subject possible, as long as the song helps boosts the imagination of the listener.
  • While primarily it had been thought that Light Element Magic could only heal physical damage of a body, but could not heal diseases. But its has been later found out that, the reason for this issue is because of lack of understanding of a human body. Just like with the Work Song concept, the lack of imagination and understanding had been holding back Light Magic users to fully utilize their magic's maximum potential. But if a Light Magic User, who knows about the body structure and know how it works, and understands what is needed to help that person, he/she can use their Light Magic instead to cure that person of diseases as well.

Summoning[]

Hero Summoning Ritual Magic Circle

Summoning is an uncategorized form of Magic, and the only known form of it is a Ritual Magic named "Hero Summoning". Currently the only known Kingdom that could use the said ritual was the "Elfrieden Kingdom" (later name changed to "Kingdom of Friedonia").

Racial Ability[]

Some races like Dragon, have the innate ability to manipulate magical energy differently compared to regular Magic. They are able to channel the magical energy internally to use the elements. For Dragon's like Ruby, they generally have the affinity to use Fire. While Ryuu's like Naden can manipulate Electricity.

Limitations[]

Magic, though miraculous and is a fundamental part of life in Landia, is not without its limitations.

  • Certain types of magic cannot be used in certain places in which they are weak. For example, any kind of Magic is not useful for combat over seas and oceans (even Water Magic), which is the primary reason why artillery's have been developed and deployed on ships.
  • Imbuing an object with magic is also dependent on its mass, so therefore attaching a spell to something as small as a bullet will not be as substantial as attaching a spell to an arrow.
  • The number of individuals possessing the Dark Element is very scarce, with only Kazuya Souma, Tomoe Inui and the former queen of Elfrieden Elisha Elfrieden as currently known users.
  • Large expenditures of magic energy is very taxing on the caster. For example, the "Roroa Maru" hovercraft requires a large group of casters to expend nearly all their energy just to charge it for one day.
