Gladius Demolition

Gladius Demolition (, Guradiusu Demorijon; lit. "Total Annihilation from a Brute External Force"), often referred to as Ruination Magic (覆滅魔法, Fukumetsu Mahō) for simplicity, is a highly-potent and very destructive form of Caster Magic that invokes raw magical power in its highest power — eclipsing the likes of the Magic Ray, Magic Ball, and every other Elemental Magic respectively while rivaling other powers such as Abyss Break, Storm Magic, Nullification Magic, and Crash — all of which are known to be incredibly powerful and difficult to control, even when mastered by the most skilled of mages. It's derived from Black Magic — as its side-effects from its usage are barely lethal, even for beginners.

Due to the sheer power its possesses and having a variety of things it can affect without fail, killing even the most powerful of foes with sheer ease, it's classified as a Forbidden Magic by the Magic Council — fearing that its usage will lead to the total annihilation of most forms of life in Earthland, especially in the wrong hands. Like the Black Arts, it's also called the "Magic of Demons" to the point where its referred to as the "Primal Incarnation of Demonic Nature" (悪魔の原化身, Akuma no Genkeshin) — alluding to Demon's natural impulses to annihilate everything around them without mercy, establishing themselves as the dominant beings. Typically, most Demons are shown to have some skill in the magic, acting as natural extensions of their very being; in a sense, this is more of a Magic Skill rather than a simple magic.

The Persenkatos Scale (, Perusenkatosu Sukēru; lit. "Total Annihilation Measuring Formula") is a method used to measure one's skill with Gladius Demolition and the potent effects it has on the surroundings when invoked, said to have been named after the magic's first user — still considered to be its most powerful, revered as a "God of Destruction" for his skillful usage.....
