While I think you bitch more than a woman on PMS who just found out her husband is doing the exact opposite of whatever ludicrous thing she said at the moment, I do agree Gajeel should have run out of air about the moment he said "You saved my ass, Levy".

My answer to your question is simply this: Grey is an Ice-Make Mage. He's been one since he was a child. He's more than likely applying similar principles to Ice Make and using it with his Ice Demon Slayer magic, which creates these immensely powerful effects we've seen so far. Think of it like Zaheer, who bent like an expert despite having it for all of two weeks; he applied air nomad principles to his new skills. As far as that analysis skill goes, it's probably just a natural ability of a Slayer that's unlocked when they face a demon.
