To be honest, whether Mashima explains DS or not isnt the point here. Promoting an exchange of ideas and a debate regarding the mystery of DS is. In this way, perhaps we as a community could come up with our own theory for how DS works, and actually expand on the content in canon. By doing so, we can encourage new and old users to develop their DS styles in directions none had even dreamed of! I hate not knowing what this magic is or how it works, cause if otherwise, how the hell can you use it? I'll acknowledge that magic is mysterious, but there should be some science as to how it works. I know Fairy Tail isnt exactly the poster child for explaining the mechanics of magic, but that doesnt mean we cant explore it ourselves.

As for Dragon Lacrima, well first you need to define Lacirma by itself. Given the above description, we can at least infer that Lacrima is pure magical energy in a condensed physical form. Dragon Lacrima therefore is likely a Dragon's Magical power/energy/etc in a condensed form. My guess is that Dragon Lacrima is an incredibly rare and very powerful magical source of energy.

Hmm, actually now that I think about, another theory makes more sense in regards to true DS and artificial slayers. Its possible that massive magical energies of a Dragon simply wash off and change a human child (hence why they are almost always children), causing their physiology to change. Well whatever the reason, I'm convinced the change is magical in origin. Of course if this happened over a long period of time as a child grows up, their body would eventually metabolize this energy and adapt it.

Artificial Dragon slayers just use Dragon Lacrima, hence the "artificial" aspect. It wasnt absorbed naturally over a period of time. Hmm, does anyone else have any theories or anything to add?
