Magic (魔法, Mahō) is a vast reserve of almost limitless energy. It's offensive and defensive powers that can only be used by witches.[2][1]

Overview

Magic is a potent and destructive energy that enabled witches to once have a wider breadth of influence and control over the world, only surpassed by powerful entities such as Reapers until the introduction of demon weapons and soul resonance, which even the playing field between humanity and witches.[6] Due to being energy, it has it's own unit of energy dubbed magic joules.[7] Though powerful in it's own right, it is surpassed by yet another force: madness. When interacting with magic, although madness can be supported by magic[8], strong concentration of madness can distort, jamm forms of magic, or even cancel it out.[9][9]

Significance with witches

Main article: Pull of Magic

Being a race of magic-wielders, only witches and cat witches can naturally utilize magic through spells or willpower.[2] Additionally, due to being vast reserve of almost limitless energy, the byproduct of those who wield it in most cases leads to destruction. This has given birth to the nautral instinct in which is known to witches as the "Pull of Magic", causing them to have a yearning for destruction, although magic such as Regeneration Magic completely counters this instinct due to being non-destructive in effect.[10]

Usage from non-witches

Although only witches and cat witches utilize magic's offensive and defensive powers through spells and willpower[2], magic itself can also be utilzied by a number of beings.

Sorcerers are able to utilize magic in a different manner, though the only methods revealed thus far include their connection to magic being tied to objects imbued with magic for supernatural effects (i.e demon tools and demon books). They're also at least capable of learning magical skills like augment and granting themselves the powers of flight.[11][12][13]
