Vance Kervic

Vance "Van" Kervic (バンス「バン」クアビック, Bansu 'ban' Kuabikku) is a traveling mage, and a user of the Lost type of magic, Dragon Slayer Magic, along with his younger sister, Simca Kervic, who also uses Dragon Slayer Magic. He is also an S-Class Mage within the  Pantheon Guild.

Appearance
Vance has the appearance of a young man in his early twenties with bright burnt orange colored hair that is spiky and messy that sticks up and out at multiple strange angles and is of above average height. Vance commonly wears a pair of blue-jeans, an orange t-shirt and black jacket with a fur lined collar with flame like pattern on both sleeves. Vance is shown to boast a highly toned body, having no unnecessary muscle on him; his chest is shown to allows for powerful attacks without sacrificing his speed, while his arms allows for the delivery and receiving of powerful strikes, while his legs allows for extreme speed and the ability to deliver powerful kicks in rapid succession.

Vance has shown that his guild mark is located on the right pectoral of his chest.

Personality
Vance is rash, hot-headed, and headstrong, often charging into a fight before thinking about things, or thinking things through and while this makes him seem rather simple and single-minded he is slightly more complex than this. Vance is often very blunt in his manner of speaking, such as asking a woman her age, or can come off quite rude, often asking someone if their stupid, but has shown to have a heart of gold. Most times Vance is a happy, bubbly person, often having fun or sparring with his younger sister, or teasing her relentlessly, to his own amusement. He has shown to be not quite as smart as some others, but has shown to be an idiot-savant when it comes to anything that involves fighting and combat, such as picking up on someone's mannerisms in battle. His single-mindedness often shows in obvious ways such as Vance falling asleep when discussing something that he doesn't fully understand, often having to have the person explaining tell him again, only for him to fall asleep again, or for him to have the person explaining dumb things down and tell him in a more simplistic manner.

Vance, despite his seemingly single, simple minded actions and tendencies is shown to be a very good person at heart, often helping those in need, and has shown to never use his powers for his own benefit, such as intimidation of the helpless. Vance is extremely loyal to his friends and comrades, often thinking of them as family and will not hesitate to protect them at the cost of his own peril. Vane has shown though to be the most protective of his little sister, Simca Kervic, often acting comically when others flirt with her, but has shown to become monstrously fierce when any threat or possible harm is directed at her, often changing from his happy-go lucky self into what some call a walking dragon of destruction. Given his personality Vance has shown to almost be incapable of holding a grudge in a normal capacity; he often only holds a grudge against those that have wronged his family or the helpless, but these only tend to hold for a short period of time. Along with his inability to hold a grudge, Vance very rarely ever has any ill-will against anybody, making him seem extremely pure in nature.

Being a Dragon Slayer Vance suffers from severe motion sickness, becoming sick when riding on anything he deems to be transportation, even when being carried on objects like a stretcher, or even being carried by other people. This degree of motion sickness is even carried over to him becoming sick just by looking at a form of transportation, but has shown to overcome this fault if he doesn't realize that his is riding the object in question or if he doesn't realize that the object is in motion. At the same time, Vance is extremely proud of being a Dragon Slayer and often becomes extremely annoyed when someone either pokes fun at the thought of Vance being taught magic by a dragon, or when pitted against another Dragon Slayer, especially when the Dragon Slayer is unable to prove themselves, essentially letting down their dragon parent. Vance also becomes extremely annoyed at the prospect of a Second-Generation Dragon Slayer who often boasts that they're superior to a Slayer who was taught by a dragon.

Ways of Combat
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Given Vance's primary magic being a form of Dragon Slayer Magic he primarily fights bare handed. Vance has shown to use a free-form style of fighting, often more of an undisciplined street fighter, commonly using his massive physical strength to completely overwhelm his enemies as he completely crushes them. Vance often uses his upper body to deliver full-body powered attacks, often punches and less frequently palm thrusts, all of which are powerful enough to break solid steel beams, even without the enhancement that his magic provides. A single strike from Vance in unarmed combat is often fatal, and if the strike doesn't outright kill the receiver it can cause severe internal trauma and multiple broken bones.

Vance's common form of fighting is a style of street fighting, more specifically a no-hold barred, anything goes style of fighting, one that accentuates powerful attacks, but still holds some semblance of actual martial arts within Vance's motions, most notably in his fighting stances. Vance has shown to use any kind of attack whether it is ethical or not, such as kicking someone in the groin, or attacking them while their back is turned. Vance often uses his upper body for the most part but will use his legs in order to kick, often aiming at his enemies most vital points such as the head, the solar plexus, or the groin, but will also use his knees, his elbows, or even head-butt his enemies if need be. Vance's style of fighting is a massive amalgamation of fighting styles that was for the most part taught to him by his foster parent, Driae, the dragon that taught him and his sister its signature magic.

Vance is shown that despite being a Dragon Slayer and having a quick temper that he doesn’t go gung-ho straight into a fight, unless he is protecting someone. Although, once engaged in a fight Vance is an extremely aggressive fighter, often using his monstrous strength to assault his opposition relentlessly and with the ferocity of an actual dragon. Despite this relentless form of attacking Vance had shown to use his head in battle, often making notes of his opponent’s mannerisms and motions so as to better aid him in a fight. Vance has shown to be an idiot-savant in combat and is extremely aggressive once engaged, often only stopping once he is sure that his opponent cannot continue, but not to a point that he kills them.

Physical Attributes
Monstrous Strength: Vance, much like other Dragon Slayers has a monstrous amount of physical strength. Vance's physical strength is attributed to the kind of training that his foster parent put him and his sister through, often forcing him to perform push-ups with massive boulders on his shoulders, as well as forcing him to drag around leg-iron like balls thought out his entire childhood. This hellish training regimen has increased and built up Vance's physical strength to inhuman levels which allow him to easily destroy stone and metal with his bare hands and with little to no physical difficulties. Given Vance's physical build he is capable of extreme feats of strength. Among his guild, Pantheon Vance's physical strength is second only to the guilds ace, Drake Emryst, but this is disputed because of Drake's primary form of magic. Vance's strength combined with his hand-to-hand combat makes him an extremely powerful fighter.

Monstrous Speed: Vance is known to have a absolutely inhuman amount of physical speed, namely do the kind of physical training that his dragon parent put him through, such as having massive leg-irons strapped to his legs, the leg-irons weighing often times two or three times his own weigh at the time. Another reason for Vance's immense speed is from constantly dodging his foster mothers surprise attacks, he reasoning being that "one must be ready to defend oneself at all times". Vance's immense speed is so great that even extremely well trained soldiers, such as high ranking Rune Knights, and even other S-Class mages can’t keep up, or even see his movements. Vance's speed is often great enough for him to move within his opponents guard before they can react, or even offer up a defense, which often causes his fights to be over before they even begin. While often considered to move in whatever way he pleases, and with no form of actual footwork which is actually incorrect, mainly because a well trained martial artist can see that Vance's motions and footwork actually has, at least a semblance, of actual skill and technique, despite the apparent lack of.
 * Great Reflexes and Flexibility: Vance along with his immense speed has a high degree of flexibility and extremely sharp reflexes. Vance's reflexes have been trained to the height of human ability and now border on a level comparable of inhuman, to something entirely different, all of this dating back to the constant surprise attacks from his foster mother, the dragon that taught and raised Vance and his sister. Vance's reflexes and his flexibility are extremely well intertwined, often performing a reflexive action using his immense amount of flexibility, such as dodging an attack at the last possible second, and with little time to do so.

Monstrous Endurance and Durability: Vance has displayed an immense amount of physical endurance and durability. His endurance allows him to fight for periods so prolonged that most normal, or even above normal, fighters and combatants would have given out long before Vance does. His endurance also allows him to continue fighting even despite severe injuries and mental fatigue. His durability is at level that many consider to be superhuman, often taking the most sever of damage and simply shrugging them off as if nothing happened. Vance's durability is attributed to his training growing up under his dragon parent. Along with his durability Vance is noted to have very thick skin, most things such as scratches and small abrasions very rarely draw blood. Vance's durability and thick skin are further demonstrated by his ability to block attacks with weapons bare-handed and without much physical damage, if any at all, such as blocking a sword swing from a master swordsman.

Immense Pain Tolerance: Vance along with his monstrous endurance and durability has an immense amount of tolerance towards pain. Vance has shown able to relocate his fingers without any physical sign of discomfort whatsoever, and can even relocate his shoulder without so much as a gasp of exasperation on his part. This tolerance to pain allows Vance to fight despite suffering from grueling wounds that would normally end the fight for others.

Enhanced Smell: Given the fact that Vance is a Dragon Slayer he is known to have an extremely keen sense of smell, one that rivals even that of an actual dragon. Using his sense of smell, Vance can access the level of an individual, and even determine their type of magic, except in the case of most Lost Magic types, this ability being demonstrated in Vance's first meeting with Nikolai Ichor, a trait considered unique to Vance himself. Vance is known to have a sense of smell that considered to be on the absolute peak of conditioning, often being able to differentiate and locate a single smell in a place as crowed as the capitol city of Fiore, Crocus. Vance is also able to pick up a scent that has already began to decay with only the most minute traces left over from it, as well as being able to pick up a single scent from several miles away.

Magical Abilities
Immense Magical Power: Vance has shown to have a truly immense amount of magical power at his disposal. His magical power takes on the appearance of his primary element, fire. Vance's magical power is shown to have a detrimental effect on the environment when released for an extended period of time, as shown by the scorching of the ground and the burning of the surrounding plant life. When released Vance's magical power takes the form of immensely powerful flames that are capable of killing anything that it touches. The flames produced by Vance’s exertion of magical power are powerful enough to cause severe second and third degree burns even when away from Vance when he is releasing his power. Given the fact that Vance's type of magic is a Dragon Slayer Magic he is able to manipulate generated flames from his magical power at will and to an astounding degree of versatility. Being an S-Class Mage of the  Pantheon guild it is safe to assume that Vance boasts an immense amount of magical power.

When released, Vance's magical power has the ability to crack the ground beneath him, but more commonly melts it. Vance has a high degree of control over his magical power, an ability that surprises many, to the point that he is able to use just his magical power to defend against other magical attacks, being able to completely diffuse them with just the release of his magical power. Using his magical power Vance is able to knock out weaker opponents, and paralyze others. Using his magic alone, Vance is able to increase his strength to levels even greater that what it already is. Being a Dragon Slayer Vance is able to consume his respective element of fire and flames to replenish his magical reserves and to empower himself while fighting. Magic originates from a Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), which is exactly what the wording indicates—it is a special organ that is located within the body of a magician, that absorbs Eternano and bunches it up into clusters, which is processed into magical power.
 * Second Origin Activation (二番原解放, Nibangen Kaihō): Second Origin is a force known as the "second container" of magical energy in an individual. This container exists due to the mage in question constantly, and passively, absorbing a quantity of magic from the environment to renew their original reserves. Any excess is placed within this container and kept sealed until absolutely necessary, or unlocked through a Second Origin Release spell. This Second Origin, when initially activated, places an enormous level of stress on the body unless it is awoken in gradual amounts, as the body isn't accustomed to handling so much magical energy in the body at one time. This can be circumvented by mages with control of their magic, however, allowing them to restore the magical power as a reserve that can be accessed whenever required, therefore providing an extremely useful back-up. Second Origin Activation can only be taken place, as said before, by mages who have control over their own magical energy. It generally only works when one is in a magic-rich environment and has nearly exhausted their initial supplies. By absorbing a copious quantity of magic from the surrounding environment passively (which can be noticed through a tingling sensation in the body), the user's internal reserves can be released at the same time. This, in turn, allows for an immense quantity of magic to replace the initial, depleting reserves. Notably, one can allow the Second Origin to passively increase the quantity of magic that is within it, so long as it isn't used during this period of time, otherwise it has to accumulate magic once again. The overall effects of activating the Second Origin are quite evident: an enormous boost in magical energy, empowered spells, ability to enhance physical strikes with magical reinforcements, temporarily breaking the "laws" of magic with specific equipment, and the rest. Notably, Second Origin is thought to be powerful enough to make a S-Class Candidate become as strong as a fully fledged S-Class Mage, while making an experienced S-Class Mage even stronger. Though it should be noted that most S-Class Mages are nearing this level of magical power in any case.
 * Aura Synthesis (オーラの合成, Ōra no Gōsei)Vance_Aura_Synthesis.jpg is a Subspecies Magic, a type of both illusionary and magical skill technique used only by First or Third Generation Dragon Slayers bringing out the illusion of what it seems to be a real dragon’s aura, scaring and nearly paralyzing the opponent due to the immense amount of aura thrown at them. By giving shape and size to his aura, the user expands his aura until a certain distance giving it any shape he desires such as a sphere or just a normal aura, by then, anything that enters the area covered by the aura which can be invisible will be felt by the user of it, yet this is very tiring to be kept for so much time since it drains so much Eternano to keep it, some expert and master users of this magic are able to extend it to a very big distance, with the highest being so far 200 meters depending on the shape of the aura. A much faster version is available; by quickly gathering and then rapidly releasing their aura, the user creates an explosion of magic that can affect both those who were hit and were not hit by the burst, causing them to begin seeing the appearance of a dragon to the side of the user that can inflict sever psychological effects on those who were and were not hit, scaring and possibly paralyzing them due to fear of a dragon that isn't there but was made using the users aura. It is described as the power which imitates real Dragon's immense magical aura, however many Dragon Slayers aren't capable of using this, for using it, they must've at least have a immense magical power and a immense physical durability and endurance for their body to resist the deploy of so much magic and for their magic to don't go off too quickly, it seems only First or Third Generation Dragon Slayers are capable of using it because they are the only generations which experienced a Dragon's presence in the past. It is also shown that the aura casters Dragon Slayer element may play a part in his the aura acts or interacts with the environment. Given that Vance is a natural Fire Dragon Slayer, his second element coming from an implanted Lacrima, his Aura Synthesis creates an area around his body that has an increased amount of heat when compared to the rest of the surroundings. By creating a half dome and projecting it forwards, Vance is able to control the direction of the heat produced by his aura, with the temperature increasing the closer one gets to Vance's person; the change in temperature increases by a few degrees every few feet that closer one gets to Vance, with the temperature around Vance being roughly two hundred degrees F when standing right next to Vance, not enough to scorch the ground or overtly harm the surroundings, it is enough to cause extreme discomfort to those that get close to Vance. Often using this ability as a form of intimidation when not wanting to release his magical power, Vance often shapes his aura into a wall or wave that is projected only as far as needed, or shaped into a spike when needing extra distance, the spike being able to go at least three hundred meters, but this is when Vance's aura is shaped like an increasingly small spike the further it gets away from Vance. This ability was first discovered by Vance at a young age, when he was about fifteen or sixteen, in an attempt to ward off wild creatures in the same manner that his foster parent, Driae, used to.
 * Heat Resistance: Given the fact that Vance is a Fire Dragon Slayer his skin is almost completely immune to all forms of fire, with the notable exceptions being flames of a higher tier than his own, such as flames from a God Slayer or fire that is of a temperature that is much greater than what he is able to produce himself through his magic. This resistance to heat makes him extremely effective when fighting against most normal, average Fire Magic users, as he can withstand the flames as well as consume them.
 * Cold Resistance: Do to Vance being a Fire Dragon Slayer, and his body having been changed physiologically to become more similar to that of his dragon parent Vance's body stays at a much higher internal temperature and as such he is shown to be immune to the cold. This resistance is only applicable when comparing natural weather and normal forms of Ice Magic and Ice-Make magic as Vance can be frozen and unable to melt the ice of a higher tier compared to normal ice, such as ice from a God or Devil Slayer Magic user.
 * Poison Resistance: Do to Vance's younger sister being having a Poison Dragon Slayer Lacrima implanted in her as her second Dragon Slayer element Vance is shown to have a high immunity to most poisons produced by said magic, and as such can resist most lower-tier poisons as well without much problem, but can still be brought down by higher-tier poisons.

Dragon Slayer Magic
White Fire Dragon Slayer Magic (白火の滅竜魔法, Hakuen no Metsuryū Mahō) is a type of Lost Caster Magic, as well as a type of Dragon Slayer Magic and lastly is a Dual Element Dragon Slayer Magic, in this case Fire and White Dragon Slayer Magic's. Unlike most other Dual Element Dragon Slayers, this type, while normally separated, allows Vance to fuse the two elements together in his body allowing for far more powerful and devastating attacks. The generated fire can be freely manipulated and allows for different "attributes" or "types" of consistencies, such as giving the fire the ability to grasp an object without burning it, or giving the fire a "blunt" effect along with the natural effect of burning the target. The fire has a controllable temperature, and can be hot enough to evaporate all moisture in an area, or even melt extremely strong Ice Magic. Given that Vance is a Dragon Slayer this means that he is able to consume other sources of his respective element; this is done by drawing the element, fire in this case, into his mouth before "swallowing" it, an act that allows him to rejuvenate himself, such as healing fatigue, replenishing his magical reservoirs, and empowering himself, but he is unable to consume the fire and flames that he produces himself. Like many other Dragon Slayers, Vance's emotions play a part of in their power, the greater his anger or his desire to protect the more powerful his magic becomes.

The fire generated and released by Vance's Dragon Slayer Magic is extremely powerful, able to melt stone and earth into molten slag in seconds and reduce metal, including that strongest of metals, to a molten puddle in only minutes. The fire can and will scorch anything in its path, before reducing its target to ash, and can reduce even objects that don't melt to ash in only a seconds worth of time. Vance can ignite anywhere on his person with fire and flames in an instant, and can change his entire person into fire in order to fight, or just to dodge an attack. Just simply the intense heat produced by the flames are enough to ignite the surrounding landscape, and by generating internal flames Vance can release the immense heat from his body creating a barrier of sorts. The flames produced by Vance's Dragon Slayer Magic is extremely difficult to extinguish, as even extremely powerful Water Magic users or even water based Slayer Magic users have difficulties putting out the flames produced by Vance, this attribute makes Vance extremely difficult to fight against. The flames are also extremely aggressive towards its targets, often chasing them and refusing to go out until their target is reduced to nothing more than ashes. The flames produced by Vance are also extremely greedy, often using any source of magic to fuel itself, including the abundant magical power in the surrounding air or even another person’s magical attack to fuel itself; Vance's fire is only increased in its destructive abilities when combined with the magical power of his implanted Lacrima. Vance often uses his flames to enhance his physical properties including his strength, speed and durability considerably.

Vance's secondary, and what makes him a Dual Elemental Dragon Slayer, in the power of an implanted Lacrima holding the power of White Dragon Slayer Magic; this implant having taken place only a few months after the death of Vance's foster parent who told him and his sister about the other types of elemental dragons. The light produced by Vance's secondary element has a "holy" or "pure" feel to it as if it were a "light of justice". The light produced by Vance has a "blunt" and "piercing or drilling" effect to it, as well as an "explosive" effect to it after having been trained with for many years by Vance. The light produced is extremely bright and is capable of blinding others, often acting as a good distraction allowing Vance to finish his enemies off. The light, like his fire can be produced from any part on his body, and can be used to enhance his physical attributes, often used to enhance to power of his strikes exponentially. Much like his flames and normal Light Magic, Vance can give his produced light a material consistency allowing him to grab objects, in this case it is much easier and safer to do so as not to accidentally burn his enemies, only if his intention is not to. The light produced by Vance's secondary element is often better suited for the more intricate uses, while his flames are more suited for all-out destruction.

The combination of Vance's two elements, his flames and light increase his abilities exponentially, his flames now having a much more powerful blunt effect and now have the piercing/drilling effect to them, but the most powerful effect is that the white flames produced by the fusion of the elements causes the fused elements to actively seek out and destroy magic that has a malefic nature to them, such as Darkness Magic, or creatures that have a malicious nature to them, such as Demons, or people with dark and evil intentions; the white flames attack these targets with the same ferocity and aggression that Vance's normal flames do. The white colored flames produced by the fusion of Vance's two elements blunt effect is roughly doubled from what each element can produced by themselves while have a burning effect that is roughly one and a half times stronger than the normal flames produced by Vance, and the heat produced by the white flames is four times hotter due to power of the flames and light, which releases radiant thermal energy.

Fire Spells

 * Fire Dragon's Roar (火竜の咆哮, Karyū no Hōkō)Fire_Dragons_Roar_4.png is the basic "breath" technique of the Dragon Slayer Magic line, and the first spell taught by dragons to humans. This spell while the first, and most basic, is still extremely powerful, often times being able to be charged or held before releasing it. Vance starts by gathering an immense amount of fire in his mouth before expelling a massive amount of fire in the direction that he is facing, the flames being extremely hot, and capable of immense amounts of destruction. This spell has two forms of execution, the first and more complex involves Vance to put both of his hands in front of his mouth, giving him the appearance of a trumpeter, before expelling the fire in between his hands creating a thin stream of fire which then rapidly expands, and the second method is simply gathering the fire into his mouth and expelling it; the second method is also much faster, having cut out any complex, and unneeded motions. Vance's "Roar" is extremely powerful, being capable of destroying multiple buildings in a single attack, and can reach temperatures of upwards of fifteen hundred degrees Fahrenheit, and is capable of melting stone into molten slag, as well as being able to effectively vaporize organic material in only seconds. The most powerful aspect of this spell is its versatility, the user, Vance in this case, is able to manipulate the shape, power, range, and temperature of this spell, but in the case of the latter the maximum temperature of this spell will never exceed fifteen hundred degrees. Like most other Slayer Magic users, Vance can alter the trajectory of this spell by turning his head while releasing it to cause it the arch.
 * Fire Dragon's Devastation (火竜の荒廃, Karyū no Kōhai) is much more powerful version of Vance's traditional roar technique, the comparison of this spell versus the Fire Dragon's Roar is often compared as this spell is like a shotgun going off in someone's face, while the Fire Dragon's Roar is like shooting someone far off with a rifle. To use this spell Vance gathers a massive amount of fire inside of his mouth before expelling a monstrous volume of fire from his mouth at point blank range at his target. The full amount of fire and flames produced by this spell are said to be able to cover and destroy a full sized town or city in only a matter of moments, due to the sheer volume of flames produced and the sheer heat of the flames, these flames being roughly twenty-two hundred degrees Fahrenheit. This spell is often times Vance's preferred spell do to it being stronger than his normal roar, and because it can end a fight in one hit if the target it hit at point blank range. This spell unlike its parent technique, the Fire Dragon's Roar, this spell is meant for pure destruction and nothing more.
 * Fire Dragon's Fist (火竜の拳, Karyū no Ken) isn't a spell per se, but the broad name for multiple other spells that involve igniting one's fists with fire.
 * Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (火竜の鉄拳, Karyū no Tekken) is the first of Vance's Fist spells. To use this spell Vance will start by igniting his fist(s) with his flames before he charges at his enemy in an attempt to fight hand-to-hand with his fist(s) aflame. This spell is often times mistaken for Vance simply fighting with his body, namely his hands, while they are on fire, instead of actually using this spell. When this spell strikes its target combined with Vance's monstrous physical strength, this spell has a very large amount of knock-back to the opponent, often capable of launching them several meters backwards, along with the severe burns centered upon the impact point of the hit. Vance has shown to have another way of using this spell, his alternate usage is to let the spell "charge", this is done by compressing the initial ignition of flames down onto the hand he is using this spell in, creating a very thin, opaque film of flames around his hand. After this is done Vance will ignite his fist again, being careful not to let the already compressed spell to decompress, with the flames surrounding his fist getting hotter and hotter upon every compression. Vance can perform this compression of spells five times at the current moment as any more would possibly cause severe damage to his arm or worst it could cause all of the compressed flames to explode outward.
 * Fire Dragon's Exploding Fist (火竜の爆拳, Karyū no Bakuken) is an alternate to Vance's Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. To use this spell Vance starts out similar to his Iron Fist spell, igniting his fist(s) aflame, but to use this spell Vance is required to it at least once before its usage, otherwise it is just a normal Iron Fist spell. The difference in this spell to its counterpart is that upon impact the target is sent flying backwards, with the impact point still lit aflame, before the flames upon the impact point completely surround the target and explodes in a violent blast. The preparations also act as an effective fake-out do to the casting of this spell being extremely similar his normal Iron Fist.
 * Fire Dragon's Gun (火竜の火銃, Karyū no Kajū Lit; Fire Gun)Fire_Dragons_Gun.jpg is considered to be Vance's signature Fire Dragon Slayer spell. While a simple enough spell to cast it carries a tremendous amount of power. To perform this spell Vance will gather an immense amount of fire on one of his hands, slightly similar to his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist spell. Once enough fire has been gathered Vance will hold his hand out, pointed at his intended target, but will very seldom make a punching motion with his hand, which then releases the gathered fire forward in a fashion almost identical to that of a dragon's roar. The fire released by this spell is extremely hot, and can melt metal in only seconds due to the extreme heat of this spell. Vance is shown able to use this spell in rapid succession.
 * Fire Dragon's Compression (火竜の圧縮, Karyū no Asshuku) also called Fire Dragon's Flame Bathing (火竜の焔入浴, Karyū no Ennyūyoku) is a supplementary spell created by Vance in order to increase his power without the need to activate his Drive or Dragon Force abilities, this spell enhances all of Vance's physical attributes; his physical strength, speed, endurance, durability, pain tolerance, and his magical abilities. This spell is similar to the "charging" ability that Vance has developed for his Iron Fist spell. Vance will start by releasing his magical power in the form of his flames from every point on his body before manipulating it and compressing it down onto his body creating a thin film or armor like layer of fire around his entire body. Again, similar to his "charging" of his Iron Fist spell Vance will exert more magical power in the form of his flames from every point on his body, being careful not to break the already established layer of fire around his body before compressing the second release of magical power. Vance has displayed the ability to repeat this process ten times, with each compression roughly doubling his strength for every compression, effectively increasing his abilities by twenty times the norm for him. The most obvious and biggest glaring weakness of this spell is the time it takes to repeat the process, even repeating it five times takes a considerable amount of time, but the enhancements to Vance's abilities often times outweighs the long preparation time. The other drawback to this spell is that he is limited to only five minutes when using this spell to its fullest, but can increase the time in this state by decreasing the number of repeats that he performs of the compression process, with him able to last upwards of ten minutes when only at five repeated compressions. Vance is also slightly limited to the types of spells he is able to use in this form; most physical attack spells, such as his Iron Fist, Exploding Fist, or Sword Horn, take advantage of the "armor" of flames surrounding his body by rapidly decompressing the flames surrounding his body before recompression them, while spells like his Roar, Devastation, or Gun, which release the flames from his body consumes the compressed magical power of this spell, often causing the flames surrounding his body from this spell to seep back into this body via his skin to use the latter of spells.
 * Fire Dragon's Magma Point (火竜の溶岩点, Karyū no Yōgan-ten) is a unique Fire Dragon spell, even for Vance. To use this spell Vance is required to either stick his entire hand(s) into the ground, or one or both of his feet. Upon inserting the required appendage Vance will release an immense amount of fire into and through the ground in order to melt the underground rock and sediment, turning it into magma like consistency, before using his fire to force it through the ground and up underneath his opponents, causing a volcanic style eruption to occur. This spell often makes his opponents think that his is a Fire and Earth Dragon Slayer, but only if they haven't actually seen his secondary Dragon Slayer element. Vance has also shown able to melt the underground rock and sediment, before melting the uppermost layer of earth, creating a massive field of fire and lava.
 * Fire Dragon's Stamp (火竜の切手, Karyū no Kitte) is a spell developed by Vance in order to both attack and defend in extremely close range engagements, and as such Vance will only use this spell when his opponent(s) are exceedingly close to his person. To perform this spell Vance will concentrate his flames into one of his legs, often making sure his enemies don't see it, before bringing his foot down in a powerful stomp which creates his magic seal on the ground below himself and his enemy, which then releases the concentrated fire in his leg upward in a massive pillar of flames causing a massive amount of damage to the enemies caught up in the pillar.
 * Fire Dragon's Axe (火竜の斧, Karyū no Ono) is another self made spell that Vance has in his arsenal, as well as being one of his signature spells. To use this spell Vance concentrates an immense amount of flames into one of his feet before bringing said foot straight up into the air before bringing his leg down in an axe kick. Upon his foot toughing the ground beneath him the concentrated fire is released in a powerful blade shaped stream of fire that will shoot straight forward in the direction that Vance is facing in an attempt to slice and burn anything in its path. Vance has also shown able to release this spell in the form of a bladed shape or fire by performing different types of kicks upon the releasing this spell. This spell is most often used when Vance and his sister are fighting the same opponent; Vance's sister having a spell used to immobilize the opponent allowing this spell to fully connect.
 * Fire Dragon's Spear (火竜の槍, Karyū no Yari) is another one of Vance's self made spells. To use this spell Vance concentrates a massive amount of flames into one of his palms before dashing forward at high speeds toward his enemy. Upon reaching his enemy Vance will attempt to press his blazing hand into the enemy’s torso, or a joint, before releasing the concentrated flames which have an immense amount of penetrating power, often leaving a gaping, hand sized hole in the enemy’s body. Vance also a second way of performing this spell, often referred to as Fire Dragon's Twin Spear (火竜の双槍, Karyū no Sōsō), by concentrating flames into both of his hands he can attack a single target, often leaving a massive, gaping hole in the enemies body, or can attack two targets simultaneously, so long as there within close proximity to one another.
 * Fire Dragon's Grip Strike (火竜の握撃, Karyū no Akugeki) is one of Vance's Fire Dragon Slayer spells, and is his closest range fire spell. To perform this spell Vance will grab his target firmly, so as not to let them escape, before he braces the arm and wrist that he has his target securely detained with. From this point Vance will release a massive amount of explosive fire from the hand he has gripped onto the target with at point blank range, causing immense damage to them, along with severe burns. The flames produced by this spell are extremely hot, reaching temperatures upwards of 2,500 degrees F. This spell is extremely powerful do to the very close proximity that this spells activation takes place in as well as the extreme temperature of the fire and flames produced by this spell.

White Spells

 * White Dragon's Roar (白竜の咆哮, Hakuryū no Hōkō) is the signature "breath" White_Dragons_Roar_3.jpg technique of the White Dragon Slayer magic. Despite Vance's natural element being fire he is able to access this type of magic thanks to the Lacrima implanted inside his body. Used in the same capacity as his Fire Dragon's Roar, Vance starts by inhaling and gathering the white light produce by this spell inside of his mouth before exhaling, releasing the gathered energy into a extremely and highly concentrated beam of white light in the direction that he is facing. These spells is extremely powerful, even despite the magic energy coming form an implanted Lacrima, and do to the fact that Vance has had many years of training with this spell, having had the Lacrima implanted at a relatively young age. Like his Fire Dragon's Roar this spell is released in one of two ways the first and more complex involves Vance to put both of his hands in front of his mouth, giving him the appearance of a trumpeter, before expelling the fire in between his hands creating a thin stream of fire which then rapidly expands, and the second method is simply gathering the fire into his mouth and expelling it; the second method is also much faster, having cut out any complex, and unneeded motions. Much like his other Dragon's Roar, this spell is extremely versatile, Vance being able to manipulate the size, shape, range, and trajectory of this spell with little problems.
 * White Dragon's Holy Breath (白竜のホーリーブレス, Hakuryū no Hōrī Buresu) is a seemingly more powerful version of Vance's White Dragons Roar. Performed in the exact same manner as the standard "Roar", this version releases a much more powerful beam of white light in whatever direction he is facing. This spell is often times compared to his Fire Dragon's Devastation spell because both are a more powerful version of the elements "Roar" spell.
 * White Dragon's Iron Fist (白竜の鉄拳, Hakuryū no Tekken) is a basic White Dragon Slayer spell. Performed in almost the exact manner as Vance's Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, Vance will begin by gathering white light upon one or both of his fists before attempting to strike his opponent with a punch. Upon Vance making contact with this spell the opponent is assaulted with not only the blunt force of Vance's punch but the blunt force that the White Dragon's light normally causes. This spell can cause a tremendous amount of blunt damage, especially when combined with Vance's monstrous physical strength, this combination having the potential to kill an enemy. This spell is shown to be a commonly employed spell by Vance among his White Dragon Slayer spells
 * White Dragon's Claw (白竜の爪, Hakuryū no Tsume) A close range spell which is described as being a "holy attack" of White Dragon Slayer Magic. To perform this spell, Vance starts by generating and gathering his white light into the palm of one of his hands, before he thrusts said hand forward in the direction of the target, which releases a black of white light forward. If the blast connects with the target it will then form a complex marking (a so-called "Stigma") on the targets body. This "stigma" hindered the targets movement completely, leaving them open to further attacks. This spell is extremely difficult to fight against, and is completely impossible to block against, meaning that the only way to avoid this spell and its effects is to dodge its blast.
 * White Dragon's Sword (白竜の剣, Hakuryū no Tsurugi; alternately Hakuryūken) is another close range spell of White Dragon Slayer Magic. To use this spell Vance starts by holding his hand(s) in a knife-edge shape before he starts to generate his white light along the edge of his hand(s). As the white light gathers and grows it starts to take the shape of a sword made of white light, and once the length of the blade is to his liking Vance will compress the light and stabilize it, creating a solid blade of white light. The blades formed by this spell are capable of an immense amount of cutting power, often comparable to that of a lightning enhanced weapon attack, but the white light swords have a secondary effect which is if they cut through a flesh enemy it will also burn and essentially cauterize the wound do to the thermal energy generated by the white light.
 * White Dragon's Cleaver (白竜の包丁, Hakuryū no Hōchō) is a variation of Vance's White Dragon's Sword spell. To perform this spell Vance starts by bringing his right arm into his left side while placing his left hand on his right elbow in a position similar to that of a lock on a tension spring. After assuming this position Vance will begin to gather his White Dragon Slayer Magic on his right arm before releasing his left hand and swinging his right arm, releasing the gathered magical energy forward like a blade at high speeds. This spell is extremely powerful and is capable of slicing through a number of materials, magical and non-magical alike with ease.
 * White Dragon's Silver Gun (白竜の銀銃, Hakuryū no Ginjū)White_Dragons_Silver_Gun.jpg is one of Vance's most commonly used White Dragon Slayer spells. To perform this spell Vance will position one of his hands (or both) in the rough approximate shape of a gun, either with just his index finger, or his index and middle fingers pointed outward and the rest curled into his palm. From this position Vance will gather white light at the very tip of his finger, or fingers, the number directly affecting the power of the spell. After gathering the white light at his finger tip Vance will release the magic forward like a bullet, similar to Bullet Magic. The blast released by this spell is extremely powerful, capable of penetrating magical armors and barriers with ease.
 * One Finger: The normal White Dragon's Silver Gun shot used by Vance. This shot is weaker than his two fingers shot; this version fires a small but highly concentrated beam of white light from Vance's finger tip. This version only uses Vance's index finger.
 * Two Fingers: Is the more powerful version of Vance's White Dragon's Silver Gun spell. This version uses Vance's index and middle fingers as the focal point for the spell. This version is considerably more powerful than his one fingered shot, having the potential to destroy a large building in one shot.
 * White Dragon's Breakdown Fist (白竜の内訳拳, Hakuryū no Hōken) is an offensive White Dragon Slayer spell. To use this spell Vance will begin to concentrate his magical power into one of his arms, usually his right, concentrating compressing the magic until the desired amount of magic is gathered in his arm. After gathering the needed magic Vance will make a punching motion with the chosen arm, launching the stored magical power forward in the shape of his fist at great speeds and will explode upon contact with the intended target. This spell has a considerable amount of power behind it, being able to demolish a large, multi-storied building with ease. The explosion created by this spell along with the power of the actual explosion causes severe blunt force damage as well.
 * White Dragon's Cloak (白竜の外套, Hakuryū no Gaitō) is a spell similar to that of Vance's Fire Dragon spell, Fire Dragon's Compression. To perform this spell Vance releases white light from every portion of his body creating a glowing white cloak of magical energy on his body. This spell acts as both a defensive shroud and as an offensive weapon, the defensive properties are quite obvious. The offensive applications to this spell allow Vance to extend the magic comprising the cloak beyond the norm for Vance; this includes allowing Vance to grab objects way beyond his normal reach. Vance is able to create a multitude of physical extensions from this cloak, such as creating multiple arms from one of his shoulders made entirely of magic, of creating a large dragon-like claw capable of extending a large distance to grab or attack with.
 * White Dragon's Explosive Light (白竜の発光, Hakuryū no Hakkō) is one of Vance's most lethal White Dragon Slayer spells. To perform this spell Vance will begin by creating a small orb of light in one, or both hands, slightly smaller than the size of a golf ball before charging at his target. Once within range of his target, Vance will attempt to press his hand(s) to the targets mouth(s), forcing the ball of light down their throat. Once they have "ingested" the ball of light Vance can cause the swallowed light to rapidly expand and explode from within their body, killing the target instantly.
 * White Dragon's Purge (白竜の消去, Hakuryū no Shōkyo) is a special, supplemental spell of Vance's. This spell is meant to purge another form of magic from Vance's body, such as poison, but has the ability to purge his body of someone's control through the use of magic's such as Telekinesis as well. This spell is an extremely useful spell in Vance's arsenal; this spell often acts like both a supportive and semi-healing spell. This spell is shown to only work when Vance is under what one would call a "status effect", such as suffering from poisoning or is under the physical control of magic's such as Telekinesis. To perform this spell Vance must have some form of physical or magical affliction; once under this affliction, Vance will, using the magic imbedded in the Lacrima that was implanted in his body, will push the White Dragon Slayer Magic throughout his body via his veins, using the magic to "purge" his body of the affliction, such as when poisoned, or under an affliction such as Telekinesis, Vance will push the magic throughout his body before releasing it from every potion of his body in an attempt to break the magical connection between the Telekinesis magic and the magic caster.
 * White Dragon's Wings (白竜の翼, Hakuryū no Tsubasa)White_Dragons_Wings.png is a completely supplementary White Dragon Slayer Magic spell. To perform this spell Vance will expel a large amount of white light from his back before molding the light into the shape of large, white colored wings. The wings created from this spell are extremely durable, capable of taking hits without breaking, and allows Vance the ability to fly to a certain extent. The flight capabilities granted by this spell allows Vance to hover, but can perform more complex flight abilities at the expense of more magical power.
 * Holy Ray (ホーリーレイ, Hōrī Rei) is White Dragon Slayer Magic spell in Vance's arsenal. To perform this spell, Vance will first enter a crouched position, although this is optional in his case, before he generates and gathers white light into his hands. After gathering the needed light Vance will open his hands, launching a massive, shotgun-like volley of homing beams of light at his target, causing a significant amount of damage to the target. This spell has an incredible range, and has an even greater usage when combating multiple opponents as this spell has a very wide dispersal pattern allowing it to attack multiple targets at once.

White Flame Spells

 * White Flame Dragon's Roar (白火竜の咆哮, Hakuenryū no Hōkō)White_Flame_Dragons_Roar.jpg is the exclusive "roar" of the White Flame Dragon, usable through the implantation of either a Fire or White Dragon Slayer Lacrima. As a White Flame Dragon Slayer, Vance has access to this spell incorporating both of his elements, Fire and White Dragon Slayer Magic's into one attack. To perform this spell Vance will draw upon the implanted Dragon Slayer Lacrima implanted in his body as he mixes the white light from his Lacrima and his natural fire in his mouth as he inhales deeply. After mixing the two elements in his mouth Vance will exhale, or "roar", release the generated elements in a highly destructive, flaming beam of white fire at his intended target. This spell is shown to not only cause severe burns but blunt force trauma and damage, often causing both at the same time. This spell has two forms of execution, the first and more complex involves Vance to put both of his hands in front of his mouth, giving him the appearance of a trumpeter, before expelling the fire in between his hands creating a thin stream of fire which then rapidly expands, and the second method is simply gathering the fire into his mouth and expelling it; the second method is also much faster, having cut out any complex, and unneeded motions. This spell is shown to be exponentially more powerful then Vance's regular Fire or White Dragon's Roar spells, and is even significantly more powerful than his upgraded spells, his Fire Dragon's Devastation and White Dragon's Holy Breath spells. This spell is shown capable of destroying a small village in one usage, and destroying a significant portion of moderately sized town. While initially only being able to use this spell once a day, after years of training Vance has gotten to the point that he is able to use this spell up to five times in a single battle, depending upon how much magic he has already expended. Upon reaching his limit with this spell, Vance will usually collapse from exhaustion.
 * White Flame Dragon's Firing Hammer (白火竜の撃鉄, Hakuenryū no Gekitetsu) is an extremely powerful White Flame spell in Vance's arsenal. To perform this spell Vance will generate his white flames onto his right hand and forearm, completely engulfing it in white flames. Vance will then proceed to make a punching motion, sending the white flames around his hand and forearm forward with an immense amount of force. Upon the white flames striking the target, they will force them backwards, causing both blunt damage and causing severe burns to the enemy’s body. Vance has shown a slight variation of this spell; Vance will instead of generating his white flames already combined he will generate his two elements, white light and fire separately, along his hand and forearm, the white light in front of the fire. Upon making the needed punching motion, the white light will be launched forward first followed a few seconds later by his fire. The light will slam into the target, sending them backward from the blunt force, followed by the flames, which will cause the two elements to mix upon reaching each other, before exploding violently. This spell carries an immense amount of destructive power behind it, being capable of destroying a large, multi-storied building with little effort.
 * White Flame Dragon's Iron Fist (白火竜の鉄拳, Hakuenryū no Tekken) is a basic spell among Vance's White Flame spells. When using this spell Vance will ignite his fists with his white flames before charging towards his opposition in an attempt to strike them. This spell is shown to have an incredible amount of blunt force behind it, enough so as to completely shatter a diamond hand substance without any visible effort whatsoever. This spell along with its immense blunt damage also inflicts severe burns to the targets when making contact. Due to the explosive property of the white light combined with Vance's physical strength this spell also tends to cause an extreme amount of knock-back, often sending an opponent several meters backwards.
 * White Flame Dragon's Sword Horn (白火竜の剣角, Hakuenryū no Kenkaku)White_Dragons_Sword_Horn.jpg is a powerful offensive White Flame spell that Vance uses. To perform this spell Vance will release his white flames from his entire body, covering himself in them before launching and propelling himself towards his opponent in an attempt to head-butt them. Upon a successful usage of this spell, Vance's enemy would be hit with a powerful amount of blunt force from both the head-butt itself and the magical enhancement of said head-butt, but the enemy would also suffer a sever amount of burns to their body from the extremely hot white flames that cover Vance during this spell.
 * White Flame Dragon's Brilliant Flame (白火竜の煌炎, Hakuenryū no Kōen) is a powerful White Flame spell that Vance has access to. To perform this spell Vance, using his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, will engulf his right hand in fire and his left hand in white light from the magic of his implanted Lacrima, before he slams the two elements together with the enemy in between then, the contact of the elements creating a massive explosion as a result. This spell inflicts both powerful blunt, concussive force from the light, but extremely high temperature fire from both the flames of the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic but from the explosion and the light, the latter’s case being released in the form of thermal energy.
 * White Flame Dragon's Explosive Line (白火竜の破壊線, Hakuenryū no Hakai-sen Lit; Destruction Line) is a strangely unique White Flame spell in Vance's arsenal. To perform this spell Vance will inhale a large volume of air, similar to one of his roar spells. Upon inhaling a sufficient amount of air Vance will exhale, releasing a thin while line of magic from his mouth. Once the "string" of magic is sufficiently long Vance will snap his teeth together, similar to striking two flint stones together. Upon Vance striking his teeth together the "string" of magic will expand slightly along its entire length before violently exploding into a massive blast of white flames along its entire length. This spell is extremely powerful and is capable of destroying a very large area.
 * White Flame Dragon's Scales (白火竜の鱗, Hakuenryū no Uroko) is the most unique White Flame spell at Vance's disposal. This spell is often considered not a White Flame spell at all, being more along the lines of a simple combined spell. To perform this spell Vance will first expel his regular flames from his body before compressing them against his skin by a layer of white light creating a highly brilliant light being emitted from his body. The "scales" created by this spell are extremely volatile; once an attack makes contact with Vance's White Flame scales the layer they create violently explodes off of his skin in a burst of white colored flames. Because of the way this spell works it is more closely compared to a type of reactive armor; armor that instantly reacts to outside stimuli.

Advanced Spells
Dragon Slayer's Secret Art (滅竜奥義 Metsuryū Ōgi): These are the most powerful spells taught to a Dragon Slayer. These spells often require a certain condition to be met before they are usable or require between a large or enormous amount of magical power to perform and as such are often used when a Dragon Slayer is nearing the end of a battle or have no other option. These spell sometimes also carry sever repercussions or have some form of backlash such as sever exhaustion or in the most extreme of situations, death. These spells are exceeded in power only by a Dragon Slayers Ultimate Art, a spell or spells that often mean certain death is performed incorrectly. These are Vance's Dragon Slayer Secret Arts.
 * Scorched Heaven: Spiral Spear Fang (焼天・螺旋槍牙, Shōten: Rasensōga) is Vance's most commonly used Secret Art, often considered to be the weakest and the one that carries the least risk to Vance. To perform this spell Vance will begin by releasing a large amount of fire and flames from his body, enough to significantly damage the surrounding landscape. Once enough fire has been expelled from his body Vance will charge his opponent in a fashion not unlike if her were using his White Flame Dragon's Sword Horn spell while he rotates his body, spinning the released fire and flames creating a swirling, drill-like shaped vortex of flames before crashing into his opponent body. After making contact with his opponent Vance will then proceed to angle himself, and his opponent, upwards launching them a few meters into the air before sending his opponent further into the air, still lit ablaze before they explode. Do to the nature of this spell; it has a considerable amount of penetrative power, as shown by it penetrating Nikolai Ichor's telekinetic armor, a relatively difficult feat.
 * Scorched Earth: Blaze Sprouting, Explosive Sword Edge (焦土・炎花爆発刀刃, Shōdo: Enka Bakuhatsu Tōjin)
 * Scorching Heat: Immolating White Flame Dragon Wave (猛暑・炎殺白火龍波, Mōsho: Ensatsu Hakuenryūha) is the strongest of Vance's advanced arts, and is directly below his ultimate arts in power. To perform this spell Vance will generate his white flames on one of his hands, right usually, shaping them into a moderately sized dragons head once enough flames have been gathered. After forming the dragons head on his hand Vance will thrust his hand forward in a punching-like fashion which sends the dragon screaming forwards, leaving a trail of white flames in its wake giving the appearance of a Chinese dragon. The dragon's head when launched acts like it has a will of its own, dodging and weaving, avoiding any obstacle that may stand in its path of its target. Once reaching its target the dragon’s mouth will open like it's trying to consume the target, but will only trap them within its jaws. After capturing the target the dragons head will seek out a solid structure, such as a building or rock face, to slam its captured target into, if not it will rise into the air. Upon finding a solid structure to strike the dragon will seemingly breath fire, the trailing body of flames rush out of the dragons mouth creating the appearance that it is breathing fire, which will cause severe burns to the opponent before the rest of the dragons apparent body rushes towards the head crashing into the captured target before exploding into an extremely violent explosion of white colored flames. This spell is shown to carry an absolutely monstrous amount of destructive power, often times comparable to one of Vance's ultimate arts.

Dragon Slayer's Ultimate Art (滅竜極義, Metsuryū Gokugi): The final art taught to a Dragon Slayer by their dragon parent, this set of techniques is meant to be used on death-situations only do to the overwhelming power and magic drain of such a technique. Do to the sheer power of such a spell if one is used in a battle, especially when used in conjunction with Dragon Force or Draconic Sovereign it could potentially become life-threatening to the user of the spell. Usually a normal Dragon slayer can have up to one spell which matches the number of their elements, one, even though some can achieve Dual Element Dragon Modes they can't create another spell out of it, with that only the genuine Dual Element Dragon Slayers are capable of doing so. Vance stated that he once had an Ultimate Art for both of his elements, but both have since fused to create a dual element Ultimate Art.


 * Firelight: Twinned Punishment of Heaven and Earth (火灯・天地の双殛, Katō: Tenchi no Sōkyoku) is the most powerful spell in Vance’s entire arsenal. This spell is the result of Vance's ultimate fire and white arts fusing together. To begin this spell, Vance will gather his two elements, fire in his right hand and light in his left hand, concentrating them to an extreme degree, compressing most of his magic into two spheres of orange and white in each hand. Once a sufficient amount of magic had been gathered between Vance's two hands he will begin to release equal sized orbs of orange and white, representing his two elements respectively, around his opponent until they're completely surrounded by the orbs. Once his target has been surrounded Vance will mentally command the spheres to rapidly rush towards the opponent; the orange orbs explode in a reactive-armor like fashion upon making contact with the target, while the white orbs cause a powerful blunt, concussive explosive-like effect when making contact, the touch sensitive effect makes physically blocking this onslaught impossible unless one isn't worried about the explosion that occurs when the orbs are touched. The true power of this spell is not from the individual attack, but from the continuous bombardment of the two different colored orbs which can attack from any and every angle conceivable and with such speed that the opponent doesn't have any chance to evade or block the attack. This spell can continue for as long as Vance has magical power, he can continue to create the orange and white spheres, but this spell is shown to be a very rapid drain on Vance's magic reserves. Often times Vance will finish this spell by creating as many spheres as his remaining magic will allow before causing every remaining sphere to converge upon the target resulting in a tremendous explosion to occur that can be seen for miles, and releasing a massive shockwave and earthquakes that can be felt for an equal distance that the explosion can be seen for.

Drive
Drive (ドライブ Doraibu): Drive, a Subspecies Magic, is a type of Magic-amplification technique used by Third Generation Dragon Slayers that brings out the true power of their capabilities as a user of Dragon Slayer Magic, excluding the power boost granted by Dragon Force, yet, at the same time, seemingly enhancing the user's physical prowess to a degree, particularly the user's speed. The Drive spell is exclusive to Third-Generation Dragon Slayers; and as the name indicates, it is activated via some kind of mechanism; in this case, Drive is initiated by harnessing the power of the Dragon Slayer Lacrima which is embedded within the user's body. Upon command, the Lacrima begins to distribute the Dragon Slayer Magic Particles stored within the crystalline orb at a swifter pace, accelerating the output and flow of magic from the Lacrima to the user's body in order to enhance all of their fortes, increasing the strength, speed, and potential that the user possesses tenfold, allowing them to take on even foes much more powerful than themselves; entering a state of enhanced awareness and peak physical ability as their element cloaks around them. While in this state, the user demonstrates heightened reflexes and extremely quick information processing, and it amplifies the powers of their Dragon Slayer Magic without exhausting themselves. This state grants the user the ability to perform new spells; as well as making their pre-existing spells far more powerful, with various users only employing several skills only while in Drive. The Drive spell harnesses "the power that kills Dragons"; at least according to the words of the first users, the Sabertooth Twin Dragons; whom are actually noted to be rather weak compared to their First-Generation counterparts. However, in the hands of an actually capable Dragon Slayer, the Drive spell would be capable of allowing the user to dish out some serious damage. In the case of a Dual Element Dragon Slayer, who are modified Third Generation Dragon Slayers; the Lacrima embedded within their body would only enhance their natural element (aka the one taught by the dragon).
 * Flame Drive (フレイムドライブ, Fureimu Doraibu) Vance_Kervic_Drive.jpg is Vance's exclusive version of the Third Generation Dragon Slayer's drive due to the Lacrima that is implanted within their body. Upon activating the magical item that has been forcibly pushed inside of his body, Vance will forcefully push fire and flames throughout his entire body via his veins in massive amounts to the point where fire starts to coat Vance's skin creating a dense coat of fire and flames on his body and releases so much heat that small mirages can be seen. Vance in this state has such a massive boost in all of his basic parameters that it seems like he has become someone else entirely. Vance's physical strength as at a level that even objects considered indestructible shatter like glass, and with the boost in his already tremendous physical speed combined with his enhanced awareness most things look like their moving in slow motion to Vance. Not only is Vance's physical attributes brought to their peak, his magical attributes are greatly enhanced as well. Vance's already immense magical power is enhanced to rather astonishing heights, to the point that even his sister couldn't recognize it. Vance, so to having had his Dragon Slayer Lacrima implanted into him at a relatively young age has had years to practice and hone his use of the Drive ability. At first Vance struggled to maintain the immense magical output that his ability caused and was unable to control the amount of magical power that was consumed by even the most basic of spells, this often resulted in Vance using up nearly all of his magical power in that one attack and drive deactivating. After extensive training over a number of years Vance is able to activate and maintain his Flame Drive for at least eight and half hours straight, originally being able to only hold this form for a few minutes at best.
 * Fire Dragon King's Mirage (火龍王 蜃気楼, Karyūō Shinkirō) is an extremely powerful spell that is a constant, yet passive ability, that is activated as soon as Vance enters his Flame Drive. This spells allows Vance too consciously, and unconsciously, create mirages of him using the immense heat that is produced by his Flame Drive for defensive and offensive purposes. This ability, unlike a cloning ability that some mages can perform, being able to create a physical clone that can attack, the mirages allow Vance to move around the battlefield while retaining a small sense of defensive security, allowing him to confuse his opponent(s) while remaining secure, if only for a short time or to only a small degree. The images created by this spell are extremely detailed and life-like, making it extremely hard to tell the difference between a mirage and the real thing. The mirages also tend to last, often times remaining until attacked, as well as mirroring Vance's movements to a degree, making them even more life-like.

Dragon Force
Dragon Force (竜の力 (ドラゴン・フォース), Doragon Fōsu lit; Dragon's Power): Is an advanced Dragon Slayer ability that Vance is able to achieve, but often only uses when absolutely necessary. Considered the strongest transformation that a Dragon Slayer could achieve before the revelation of Draconic Sovereign, Dragon Force causes Vance's body to transform into a humanoid dragon, often considered a dragon in human form, it drastically boosts Vance's entire set of physical and magical abilities to their absolute highest peak when activated, often said that it puts him on par with a real dragon in abilities. Do to being a Third-Generation Dragon Slayer Vance is able to activate his Dragon Force at will, but Vance has said that could achieve this transformation before the implantation of his Lacrima, an unconfirmed statement. As a Dual Element Dragon Slayer Vance's Dragon Force often acts differently than that of other generations; When activated Vance's two elements start fusing creating a bluish-white colored flames instead of the regular solid white color to surround his body as well as his hair changing to a blackish color. The bluish-white flames constantly pour from Vance's back and often leave massive trailing wakes of fire and flames when he moves, often described as "a tsunami of fire" by those that have seen this form. While in this form Vance acquires a mouthful of dragon-like fangs and slightly elongated fingernails or in this case, claws. An interesting note, the flames produced by Vance's Dragon Force often seek out malefic natures and people of its own accord, and is extremely potent against demons. Do to the power increase that Vance goes through when using his Dragon Force those that have seen it and lived often call it the Advent of the Fire Dragon King (火竜王の降臨, Karyūō no Kōrin). As stated before, Vance's abilities are increased dramatically, his already monstrous abilities become superhuman or even demonic to some, his magical power now simply radiates off of him in an aura-like fashion. When using his magic in this state Vance's spells are of such a boosted power that they are considered new spells altogether. Similar to his Drive ability Vance's strength, speed, endurance, and durability are vastly increased, Vance is now able to punishment two or three times what he could before its activation and can dish out a comparable amount in this form as well. Ultimately, this is a transformation that most wish Vance never needs in a battle.


 * Enhanced Magical Power: Vance is shown to have a massive increase to his magical power while using his Dragon Force. The increase to his already immense amount of magical power is extremely large, his magic now being on a level more comparable to that of a member of the Wizard Saints, albeit the bottom of the Saints. This increase in magic allows Vance to perform immensely more powerful spells, as well as the sheer pressure alone being enough to damage an opponent, even one of comparable power to Vance in this state. This boost also greatly affects Vance's Aura Synthesis allowing him to exert it much further and to maintain it for an increased length of time.
 * Enhanced Strength: Vance is shown to have an increase in his physical strength while using his Dragon Force, an increase that often scares most. The increase to Vance's already monstrous physical strength brings it to a level considered unreadable by most, a single punch being able to send an opponent flying more than fifty meters away with only a light tap. With the increase to his strength, Vance's hand to hand combat becomes even more deadly, often to the point that a single punch to almost any part on a body can completely shatter the bones, along with ripping the tendons and muscles.
 * Enhanced Speed: Along with the increase in physical strength Vance gains a tremendous increase to his speed. While using his Dragon Force Vance is believed able to keep up with the Wizard Saint Shōjirō Kusaka, a wizard known for being tremendously fast. Vance's speed allows him to completely overwhelm an opponent, allowing him to rain down attack after attack before his opposition can react, let alone defend or counter against. The increase in Vance's physical speed allows him to leave behind afterimages when he moves.
 * Enhanced Endurance, Durability, and Pain Tolerance: Vance's endurance, durability, and pain tolerance are also greatly augmented while using Dragon Force. In this state Vance's endurance allows him to fight at his peak for the entire time he is in this form. Vance's durability in this form allows him to take even the most powerful attacks often without even budging the smallest amount upon receiving them. The greatest increase of the three from this form is Vance's pain tolerance, claiming the ability to have an appendage removed without it even fazing him, but this is an unconfirmed statement.
 * Fire Dragon's Thunderous Roar (火竜の轟音, Karyū no Gōon) is an enhanced version of Vance's normal fire based roar spell. This spell, while executed in the exact same manner as his normal roar has an increase in power that many consider it a completely new spell. This spell when used releases a wave of fire so immense that it could destroy a large city, reducing it to nothing more then ashes in only seconds, leaving nothing standing. The fire produced from this spell are doubled from Vance's basic roar, making the fires temperature of this spell three thousand degrees Fahrenheit. This spell received its name from the thunderous noise made by Vance when he expels his fire, a sound similar to an actual dragon roaring.
 * True Fire Dragon's Roar (真火竜の咆哮, Shin Karyū no Hōkō) is the ultimate form of Vance's Fire Dragon's Roar spell. This spell is essentially Vance's dragon parent, Driae, using her roar through Vance. Executed in the same manner as any roar, this spell lets loose a wave of fire and flames capable of leveling a small kingdom at once, having flames that reach temperatures in excess of forty-five hundred degrees Fahrenheit, but uses enough magic to force Vance out of his Dragon Force, even despite his increase in magical power.

Draconic Sovereign
Draconic Sovereign (覇龍 (ドラコニック・ソブリン), Dorakonikku Soburin lit. Dragon of Supremacy) is an advanced form of Dragon Force. In its roots, Draconic Sovereign is designed to be a highly advanced version of Dragon Force; it is noted to be extremely similar to several "alt modes" of other Dragon Slayers. However, it has a peculiar activation condition—in order to gain access to Draconic Sovereign; the user must have bathed in or drank the blood of the dragon that mentored them in their particular Dragon Slayer Magic. Despite this, the activation conditions of both Third Generation and First Generations of Dragon Slayers are drastically different. In order for a First Generation Dragon Slayer to gain access to Draconic Sovereign, they must form a miniature magic brand upon their body, which is forged for the sole purpose of containing the blood of their dragon parent. When the user goes to activate Draconic Sovereign, they will first consume a large amount of their element, as to activate Dragon Force, at which their magical aura flares up and into the magic brand, causing Draconic Sovereign to activate immediately. In the case of a Third Generation Dragon Slayer, to manifest Draconic Sovereign, they must achieve Dragon Force and Drive simultaneously, causing the magic up rise to be channeled into their blood, causing the transformation to initiate. Upon any method of activation, Draconic Sovereign's power causes the user to take upon a more, well, draconic visage, such as developing the organs of a dragon, horns, the tail, and even wings. This of course gives the user an incredible power boost all across the board, but it is incredibly hard to maintain as it drains the user of their stamina and magic at a fast rate—in fact, the most that the user can maintain this form is for fifteen minutes maximum. Despite it's amazing power, Draconic Sovereign has a glaring weakness—if the user utilizes it excessively, then they would be permanently stuck in this form; while the ability to utilize Dragon Slayer Magic would vanish.

Vance had demonstrated that he is one of the very few Dragon Slayers in Earth Land able to activate this ultimate form of a Dragon Slayer. During what Vance calls the most unpleasant and worst memory of his life, Driae, his dragon parent, had asked Vance to kill her do to her being sick and at the end of her life, Vance was told that one he had completed her request to both bath and drink her blood and to do the same with Simca, his younger sister, a request he reluctantly carried out, Vance gained the ability to achieve this state, albeit unknowingly at the time. To activate this ability, and due to being a Third-Generation Dragon Slayer, Vance must activate his Drive and Dragon Force simultaneously causing the magic up rise to be channeled through his blood, starting the transformation, this process is shown to be extremely difficult and highly taxing on his body, requiring his immense endurance to be able to even activate this form once. After reciting his unique chant, Vance is enveloped by fire of such ferocity that it will scorch anything that attempts to near it; the immense heat is enough to start affecting the atmosphere in the surrounding vicinity. After the surge of magic and fire Vance's new appearance is revealed; in this form Vance is now much more draconic is appearance, as he is now sporting a large pair of red and slightly battered wings on his back, as well as his hands and halfway up his forearms now being red scales and his fingers being tipped with razor sharp claws. Across the upper half of his body is now adorned with a red half vest-like top which is connected to itself by a strap that crosses the left half of Vance's chest, holding itself in place, and has a double layered pauldron on each shoulder, the upper pauldron having three large spikes one them, each spike having the appearance of dragons fangs, and the lower pauldron ending in a jaw line like set of needle pointed teeth. Across Vance's lower body is a long pair of red pants with multiple tassel-like pieces of cloth that hang. Along with all of this Vance's hair lengthens considerably and turns a deep blood red coloration, as well as Vance now having flames exuding from his eyes and mouth every time he opens it, as well as his hands, which now constantly glow white hot. The power that Vance gains in this form is shown to exponentially more massive than any of his other forms as a simple wave of his hands can vaporize almost anything it their path. While using this form Vance calls himself the Purifying Flame (浄化炎, Jōka-en), claiming that his fire will purify the impure and return the world to its original state. As stated above, Vance's attributes are massively boosted to extreme heights to the point that he is compared to that of a humanoid dragon.

Sigurðr
Sigurðr (滅殺龍の英雄衣料 (シグルド), Shigurudo; lit; Heroic Garments of the Dragon Slayer) is the ultimate form of Aura Synthesis. This technique is said to be the ultimate embodiment of the Aura Synthesis. Instead of simply projecting the draconic aura outwards in-order to instill fear into the opponent, the user is actually wearing it on their person. In order to achieve such a possibility, the user would have to master Aura Synthesis and have a good control over their own magical power. By compressing the field in which the aura is projected in, they have surround their entire body. This forms a small orb of concentrated energy made from the user's own power. Then through shape manipulation, they form the basis of the armor into the shape of the draconic aura in-question. The Eternano particles are concentrated at this point that it begins to materialize a physical form; allowing for the possibility for it to be actually touched. Because of such a phenomena, this in-turn causes them to have a sudden increase in power. Each set of armor is different amongst its users since it's the very manifestation of their aura; shaped through their own design. This also extends to the abilities each one may possess, as its suited to both the user's personality and their fighting style. It through this technique that one starts to develop certain traits belonging to Dragons, each one varying from user-to-user. Not only that, they can enhance their Dragon Slayer spells to by certain factors, making them for versatile than before. Not oddly enough, the user can manifest parts of their aura in order to damage the opposition or defend themselves. There are rare instances where certain individuals will manifest weapons along with their armor. It takes the form of the weapon most suited for the armor's primary needs. This is to ensure every aspect of the armor is used to maximum capacity in the period where its active. These weapons are known to very power, as its made from large amounts of compressed magical power. It also acts as an extension of the user, thus certain abilities can be used through it; Dragon Slayer Magic is perfect for such a thing, as its power will be increased five times over. Those who mastered, or at least able to use the technique efficiently, are able to mimic some of the powers of Dragon Force to a certain degree. This technique cannot be maintained for long, however, as its very strenuous on the body. Only when one masters it to the fullest are they able utilize it without restraint. It should also be noted that the Secret Arts, Ultimate Arts, Dual Element Dragon Slayer Mode, Dragon Force, & Draconic Sovereign are inaccessible whilst its activation; the amount of energy each one possesses, toppled with the extreme energy output of this technique will produce a massive strain on the body. If one attempts to do so, it would me severe injury or in some cases, instant-death.

Vance is shown to be one of the few Dragon Slayers that has the ability to achieve this particular ability. To perform this ability Vance must first release his aura using his Aura Synthesis before compressing it around his body instead of simply projecting it outward, this causes a small orb of Vance's magical power to be created from this; the Eternano particles are concentrated to a point that the magic power materializes a physical form.. From this point Vance will use shape transformation to craft the orb of his magical power into an armor that he can wear, one made entirely from his own power alone. Upon crafting this armor, it is made to his own personal view; the armor crafted often has an extreme draconic appearance, Vance's is no exclusion. Upon Vance activating this ability and the orb of his magical power forming, upon Vance beginning to form his armor a bright flash occurs. upon the flash of light subsiding Vance's armor is revealed; in this form Vance's armor is entirely red with darker blue/black accents in the joints and shaded areas of his armor. Vance' armor consists of a large torso piece, greaves, vambrace's, a helmet and a piece of material acting as a cape. The helmet piece of Vance's armor is red and adorned with two spiral curved, blue horns on either side of the face, each one ends along the curve of Vance's jaw, as well as a blade-like spine on the top of the helmet, this spine resembling that of spikes on the back of a dragon. The armors chest piece has the appearance of plate-mail, armor plates stacked upon one another, the center of the chest piece having the appearance of watchful eyes within the separations of the armor plates, as well as three high stacked armor plates protecting Vance's neck. Along his arms are vambrace's that cover the entirety of Vance's forearms and continue roughly half way up his upper arms leaving his shoulders unarmored for increased mobility. The vambrace's are also of more along the lines of being plate-mail and end in razor sharp clawed gloves and end in a large spike coming form the elbow. Along Vance's legs are greaves that stop at his knees, with his upper thighs being covered in a single, large piece of armor. The greaves are plate-mail like the rest of the armor and completely envelop his lower legs, ending in clawed feet and three metal plated across the top of his feet. Vance's armor is finished off with a cape-like material attached to his waist that falls down to just above mid-calf. A sword will often form along with the armor when this ability is activated. While using this ability Vance's abilities are greatly enhanced, but he is unable to use any of his other transformations, such as his Drive, Dragon Force, or his Draconic Sovereign, as well as being unable to use any of his Dual-Element Slayer spells, and his Advance or Ultimate arts. Do to the restrictions imposed on the user of this ability Vance rarely uses this ability unless absolutely necessary.

Blast Magic
Blast Magic (爆風魔法, Bakufū Mahō) is a powerful form of Caster Magic. To use and activate this magic, the caster is shown to start glowing their magical aura, focusing it as it begins to surge as the user then focuses it through their hand to trigger the effects. The user sends out small traces of their augmented Eternano that shows to have an opposite wavelength to any kind of area around their target, causing a unique chain reaction with the user's Eternano, and triggers an explosion to the area. The power and strength depends on how much Eternano the user pours into the spot, and can often be shown to actually be used in a delay form like a landmine if anyone puts pressure on it. However, the weakness to this magic is that it can only be used on one individual spot at a time when using two arms, meaning the user cannot create multiple explosions at one point.

Vance is shown to have a high degree of skill in this type of magic, this magic often being his second choice after his Dragon Slayer Magic. Vance is shown able to create extremely powerful explosions with this magic capable of a great amount of destruction. Vance is shown able to use the force from blasts to propel himself through the air as well as to simply blow away an incoming attack, showing that this magic isn't just offense oriented. Vance has displayed enough control over this magic to allow him to change and control the overall power behind one of his blasts; using his control over this magic Vance can create a blast that only comparable to that of a gunshot to an explosion that is capable of leveling a city block, but the latter uses a considerable amount of magical power and is much harder to control once used.


 * Chain Blast (連鎖反応爆発, Rensa Han'nō Bakuhatsu, Lit; Chain Reaction Blast) is a powerful Blast Magic spell in Vance's arsenal. To perform this spell Vance will hold both of his hands out and channeling his magical power into his arms and into his hands as he waves his arms designating the intended spots, magically charging them. Upon completing this Vance will create a single explosion upon one of the marked spots which causes a large chain reaction, causing the spots to detonate either in sequential order or as a mass explosion. This spell is extremely effective, and works as a powerful surprise attack.

Requip
Requip (換装, Kansō), also known as Ex-equip, is a Holder Type Magic used by multiple mages which pertains to the summoning of various types of equipment. While a very basic form of magic, and a very common one, as common as other magic's such as Transformation and Sword Magic, Requip is also an extremely versatile and highly effective magic. A Subspecies Magic of Spatial Magic, Requip allows the user to store items in a separate, pocket dimension for ease of access, and by using Requip the caster can quickly and easily summon a desire object from said pocket dimension at any time.

Vance is shown to be able to use Requip only on an extremely basic level, often times only enough to simply change his clothes should they be damaged while fighting, or on a job request. Using Requip, Vance can carry a greater amount of items then with a backpack or equivalent luggage item. Vance's Requip is shown to be moderately fast.
