User blog:LastationLover5000/Gods or Spirits

This is just a little random blog due to the fact that Per and I are working on our Chelia (it's a timeskip in our story, time for everyone to get badass), and I had noticed the kanji used for "God" in "God Slayer Magic" (神) means "shin" or "jin" (hence Tenjin, Raijin, Enjin, etc). However, the typical Japanese word for "God" would be "kami", if I am correct, while "shin" or "jin" can mean "god" or "spirit". Which makes me wonder, what if this isn't "God Slayer Magic" but "Spirit Slayer Magic". It wouldn't be surprising if the name of a magic passed down from ages back had it's own name misconstrued, Japanese has a nightmarish amount of homonyms, and any Human who picked up the magic (such as Precht) would automatically assume the name to mean "God". Humans are arrogant that way. As such, what if God Slayer Magic isn't really "God Slayer" at all, but "Spirit Slayer", referring to the slaying of spirits and spectres? Considering how God Slayer Magic does not live up to it's divine reputation, wouldn't this make more sense? And when you look at words like "Majin" (魔神) it means "evil spirit" or "genie". The word "djinn" is also similar and means "genie" as well. So....this was just a passing thought. What do you all think?
