Magical Power

“	Power... it draws its source from one's strong will, belief and experience.	”
— Dreyfus in Chapter 66.

Holy Knights using their magical powers.

A Magical Power「魔力, Maryoku」 is a mysterious and supernatural ability that allow its wielder to perform various techniques. Generally, it is unique to individuals.

Description

Magical Powers are mysterious abilities invoked through unknown means. The source of an individual's power is stated to be drawn from one's will, beliefs and experiences. The power resides within the body itself even though the catalyst to awaken one's power is unknown, the former being supported by the Holy Knights' beliefs that their bodies are imbued with "magic that transcends human knowledge." Magical powers can also be gained and utilized from other sources of power by research and experimentation. There are times when powers are inherited.

These abilities can be categorized into offensive, defensive and support skills in battle. The Holy Knights from different kingdoms across Britannia use their magical abilities to protect people from various threats.

Everyone has their own unique magical power, though some powers can be shared by more than one person, such as the case with Gustaf and his sister Jericho. Some races have magical powers that are shared across their races population, though individuals would still have their own individual magical powers. In some cases, powers can even be taught to others, such as how Chandler taught Meliodas how to use Full Counter.

A persons magical power can also be measured as a numerical value by Balor's Magical Eye, along with Physical Strength and Willpower. These three factors, when added together, determine one's overall Power Level. Magical abilities can also be sensed through the exertion of the individuals' auras and those who felt it have different reactions towards such levels of power.

Weaknesses

While powers grant users various advantages and benefits when engaged in combat, there are drawbacks for using them: For example, Full Counter's inability to reflect indirect or normal attacks; Ruin's ability requires a unique staff's bell to make it work; and Invasion's requirement of a long-range distance.

A magical power weakens and grows unstable if the user loses control of their emotions, though this may be remedied through training.

Types

As explained by Pellegarde, there are different Magical Power Types「魔力の型, Maryoku no Kata」 by which abilities fall into one of nine categories. There are very rare instances of a person possessing two or more types of magic. Few cases among these people possesses four or more types of magic. Such people are called Hero-Types.

• Destruction-Type「破壊型, Hakai-gata」: Allows the user to exert magical power with destructive properties, with natural forces like thunder or flame, or a non-natural dark force.
• Shifting-Type「変性型, Hensei-gata」: Allows the user to modify the properties of matter. There are a ton of varieties to it, like modifying an object's weight, the hardness or water into ice.
• Healing-Type「回復型, Kaifuku-gata」: Allows the user to heal injuries and ailments of themselves or others. Its effects and scope are diverse. It is regarded to be mostly the Goddesses' magic.
• Search-Type「探索型, Tansaku-gata」: Different forces, like locating a particular object or finding out how genuine a person is, have been identified.
• Mental-Type「精神型, Seishin-gata」: It is regarded to be able to manipulate a person's mind and their memories. Depending how it is used, it can be more powerful than the Destruction-Type.
• Deception-Type「幻惑型, Genwaku-gata」: A magic power that generates illusions or causes audition hallucinations. It is thought to be found in Fairies for the most.
• Stealth-Type「隠密型, Onmitsu-gata」: A shadow force that lets one to approach their opponent without being noticed or track the opponent's movements from faraway.
• Enchantment-Type「符呪型, Fuju-gata」: Allows the user to imbue things with magic (e.g., their fists or weapons) to strengthen them and/or give them the properties of said magic.
• Oracle-Type「神託型, Shintaku-gata」: A force surpassing the human intellect, that predicts the weather or the future events. It is regarded to be the rarest of 9-Types of magic.
• Hero-Type「英雄型, Eiyū-gata」: A very rare-Type of power; those who possess four or more different types of magic, fall into this category. Percival is the only known person so far to have these type of magic.
