Chapter 62: Topics of Curse and Spirit Arts

~Rou POV~

After leaving the cavern Mavis and I took a few hours to pack before we finally left Crocus after the fuss of the sudden attack of the Castle aka me.

Successfully leaving the Capital City quite happy we waited in line for tickets to go back home in peace.

Although it's quite a shame that we don't have more chances of going to more places…

"Hey Rou."

My ears perked up listening to Mavis as she puts down my rough draft of one of my works One Piece listening, "Since we have the time how about we go to Hargeon Port? Been a while since we last saw it. I want to see how everything changed."

Everything that changed huh?

Pondering the idea an idea did come to mind as I replied with a shrug but with a smile of checking something out, "Sure. But I heard that they have a resort in Akane Park nearby. They say it's a tourist place and I'm curious to check it out before we head out. You in?"

She smirks nodding her head confidently as were finally near the booth to get tickets for the trip, "Umu! I'm totally in and besides it's been a while since we have gone out together. Going to Crocus doesn't count since it was job-related."

Nodding in agreement we were more or less rushed on the job on Crocus.

But smirking at this we could use this time to rewind and what are today so far…

Checking out my Archive Magic to see the date is [X784 October 1].

Oh, we are so close to that time huh?

I swear to god if that pretentious fucker Jellal wants to fuck with my Date that Arc is soooo… going to get screwed over.

For now, though we should just enjoy the time given.

With some spare time, I managed to have some time to write down my thesis on my theories of Curses and Curse Energy since they originate from the roots of Magic but evolve differently.

Cursed Energy is a power source that Curses are created.

Similar to Ethernano for Magic, Cursed Energy is the negative essence that one uses to create Cursed techniques and spells, accumulated from the negative emotions of humans such as resentment, jealousy, hatred, vengeance, etc. being said to have been founded on the essence of life.

Implied to be superior to Ethernano in the form that it lacks any known form of weaknesses associated with Magic, such as the users being subjugated by Magic Sealing Stones.

Cursed Energy is also unaffected by Magical Barrier Particles, thus its users bare no risk of Magic Deficiency Disease or of its fatal effects.

Similar to Magic, Cursed Energy is seemingly stored in a container within the user's body that determines the limit of their Cursed Power, and the user can be rendered weak in power and stamina should they exhaust most of their supply of Cursed Energy.

Remembering from my Super Archive in Earth knowledge of the Fairy Tail media, Curses are not to be confused with Magic and are used by those at Tartaros, wherein the kind that they use are considered to be of the highest tier.

While like Magic in the sense it can be used for a variety of purposes, due to having negative emotions as its source, most of its techniques are considered far more dangerous and amoral, primarily used to bring harm and misery to others.

Curses are accordingly run off of Curse Power, which in and of itself is the manifestation of powerful, negative human emotions, that can be accumulated into Cursed Energy that allows Curse users to employ Curses.

Similar to Magic Power, Curse users can store their Curse Power within their bodies and employ it to cast various techniques. The amount of power they can have is limited, overuse of their power will render them drained of strength and stamina should they exhaust most of their Curse Power.

Curse users can also exert their Curse Power in the form of an aura enveloping their bodies. Having high levels of Curse Power causes the highest levels of pressure. A notable usage of this is used to release a strong burst of power to push back opponents. The color of their aura varies between users.

It's possible for certain individuals who are skilled in sensory are able to detect one's Cursed Power or Pressure. Curses can be rendered ineffective through exorcism abilities that purge the Cursed Energy.

Curse users are able to transfer their Curse Power to one another. Thus, increasing the power of the one receiving the transfer to new levels.

Devil Slayers, also known as Exorcist Mages use their Devil Slayer Magic to nullify Cursed techniques. Devil Slayers also exhibit a degree of immunity toward Curses.

The only known negation to Cursed Energy is Devil Slayer Magic, having the power to exorcise any evil and malefic essence. Devil Slayers have also shown some degree of resistance towards Curses, surviving the attack and effects of powerful Curse techniques mostly unscathed.

Devil Slayer Magic…

Holding my pencil and biting at the eraser tip I wonder how does one create a Devil Slayer Magic like that?

Hmm…

Regardless though the Curse Energy sounds a lot like the power system of the Sorcerers from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Just how to use it is different although I'm interested in how to produce the effects, but it will certainly take some time that's for sure.

Wait…

Pausing as I write down my notes. I searched up my Super Archive Magic if there are other power systems in Fairy Tail and I got four actually that I'm aware of.

The first two I already have is Alchemy and Magic.

The third is obviously Curses but the fourth, one I kind of forgot to be honest the last one is Spirit Arts.

Spirit Arts are the main form of combat utilized by those who can gather Spiria.

Differing from Magic and Curses, Spirit Arts is a different attribute that is created by Spiria, an attribute that became developed in areas of Elentear. Magic or magical weapons cannot affect any Spirit Arts, instead, only Spirit Arts can counter one another.

Boosting and/or dispelling-type abilities such as Enchantments have been shown to be able to intertwine and act in unison with Spiria to destroy and counter against Spirit Arts, such as Demons' Parade's ability to morph humans into Yokai and being reverted with enchantments that mold Spiria.

According to Irene Belserion, Spirit Arts is a third type of fighting essence outside of Magic and Curses, given it's made from Spiria in the surroundings similar to how Ethernano is what Magic is made from.

Seemingly, users are able to use items to utilize Spirit Arts, similar to Magic Items. Perhaps I should ask the woman if she knows how to use Spirit Arts sometime later from Zeref...

Spirit Power is the manifested energy that allows Mages to employ Spirit Arts, being composed of Spiria.

Similar to Magic Power for Magic, one must first be able to gather Spiria, and then after the variant levels of Spirit Power one can attain depends on the specific user as well as the level of discipline one puts onto their own craft.

Spirit Power can be used in conjunction with Ethernano-based attacks, noticeably boosting the potency of the attack correlated to the user's level of Spirit Power.

Subsequently, there are cases where one's Spirit Power can be massively enhanced, an example being Yoko's ability to turn humans into Yokai with her Demons' Parade.

Remembering them from my head as I turn off my Super Archive Magic…

I had to ponder more reading all of this seems to me like Nen's ability that they are used to create their own abilities if what my hypothesis seems to look like.

The ability to create their own abilities using the concept of freezing for one, conjuration and transmutation to create Yokai with manipulator changing the target, enhancement of physical might and invisible attacks…

And all you need is either Enchantment Magic or use Spirit Arts User because of their odd rule being only using Spirit Arts could block Spirit Arts.

Quite the conundrum meaning nearly complete immunity to Magic and Magic items with the exception of Curses having some resistance and unknown probability to Alchemy this fighting style could be useful.

I mean if used against Acnologia I wonder how the results would've gone or that Whiteout…

Not a bad ability and fighting style to be honest so long as the target doesn't use Enchantment Magic then your set against any opponent out there.

Man…

I'm glad I got to learn Enchantment Magic from Zeref now.

Or else entering Elentear in the future would've fucked me over.

Still, though their particles of Spiria do intrigue me if I were completely honest.

Spiria is the term used to refer to particles that Spirit Arts are created from.

Similar to Ethernano and negative energy and emotions that power Curses, Spiria is the magical essence that a Mage uses to create Spirit Arts techniques and spells, implied to be stronger than Ethernano in the form of power. It's known for parts of Elentear to be rich in Spiria.

Through the use of Concept Enchantment, Spiria can be enchanted on a person or object giving them the ability to bypass a Spirit Art's immunity to Magic or magical weapons.

The possibilities sure are limitless with it and quite possibly my key to learning it would be through the Magic Spell Whiteout.

Whiteout is a Caster-Type White Magic that gives the user the ability to control the volatility of an individual's Magic to enslave, nullify said Magic, use said Magic, or possibly overtake and fuse with the body of the targeted.

But if I get my hands on it I can try to recreate the effects to use clear out my body of Ethernano and find a way to recreate Spiria in my body or a different method of possibly accomplishing it.

I'm a very greedy man after all.

I need every edge or means to take down Acnologia and already having Dragon Cry staff in my possession is good insurance I have something to damage that dragon.

Using my Alchemy, I could reconstruct it into a fine weapon blade or bullet against the beast since when a Dragon harms a Dragon the damage done is permeant from what I read through the Fairy Tail 100 years Quest went to go by is true like how the Moon Dragon says she's dying by the wound of her fellow Dragon Earth God caused.

Good tips to know but against Acnologia though… his a fucking cheat himself since he can just solo his own verse if need be.

That's up for debate on how strong that bastard is or his defenses for that matter for now though I have plenty of research and experiments I have to do that's certain.

I should probably be gathering people who are strong on their own perhaps obtaining Athena as she hops wherever around the world if she was given the chance to be human something I can certainly provide.

*BEEP*

"The stop to Hargeon Port!"

Interrupting our train of thoughts we finally reached the Hargeon Port Train Station I couldn't help smirking at this.

Time to enjoy a little vacation what's the worse, that could happen?

And yes, I know I jinx it but the sooner we get over any trouble the better.
