God Slayer Magic (滅神魔法 Metsujin Mahō) is a Caster-Type Ancient Spell and Lost Magic used by God Slayers.
Description[]
It is a form of Ancient Spell in which the caster is able to attain the abilities of a God, using a specific element as their type. The certain elemental type of God Slayer Magic can be conjured from the caster's body and be used for various purposes, mainly in combat.[1][2] It is said that the original usage of this Magic was to slay "Gods".[3] In addition, the color of each God Slayer's element has a black tint, regardless of what it may be.[1][2] Although it is unknown how one actually learns God Slayer Magic, one such occasion allowed Sherria Blendy to learn it from a book.[4]
Similar to Dragon and Devil Slayer Magic, the caster is able to eat their own element and also use it for combative purposes.[5] It appears that they cannot eat their own "God-like" element directly, but can eat Dragon Slayer magic of that element.[6] The reverse does not hold true of Dragon Slayers, who cannot eat God Slayer Magic unless the Dragon Slayer has emptied out their own Magic Power to create a vessel for the respective element.[7]
