Dragon Slayer Magic (滅竜魔法, Metsuryū Mahō) is a Lost Magic and Ancient Spell used by mages known as Dragon Slayers (滅竜魔導士(ドラゴン•スレイヤー), Doragon Sureiyā) to combat dragons.

Overview

Dragon Slayer Magic is similar to God Slayer Magic and Devil Slayer Magic as it imbues its users with an elemental magic that is designed specifically to slay dragons. This magic was actually given to humanity by Dragons during the Dragon King Festival, a war between dragons that cooperated with humanity and those that despised it. The first Dragon Slayer was Irene Belsarion. The main way this magic is used is by shrouding the caster's body with their respective attribute or summoning it to utilize a bevy of offensive, defensive, and supplementary techniques. They are immune to the element they are aligned with and even capable of eating the element to replenish their strength and magic power. Dragon Slayers are unable to consume the element they create. Dragon Slayer Magic is the only way to kill, or even hurt Dragons, who are shown to be mostly unaffected by other forms of Magic.

One of the dangers of Dragon Slayer Magic is dragonization. Learning the magic too quickly can cause the wielder itself to slowly turn into a dragon, losing their former sense of self and becoming more prone to fits of rage. Through a secret art or other similar means, Dragon Slayers are able to stave off the effects of Dragonization or even use it to their benefit in a technique known as Dragon Force.

Learning Dragon Slayer Magic

There are five known ways one can learn Dragon Slayer Magic:

• The first way is one must be taught by an actual Dragon. The ones who learned their Dragon Slayer Magic through this method are referred to as First Generation Dragon Slayers.
• The second way is one must have Dragon Lacrima implanted into their body. The ones who learned their Dragon Slayer Magic through this method are referred to as Second Generation Dragon Slayers.
• The third way which is a combination of the first two methods: ones who both learned their Dragon Slayer Magic by receiving the teachings of a Dragon and also having Lacrima implanted into their body. The ones who learned how to perform Dragon Slayer Magic by utilizing both methods are referred to as Third Generation Dragon Slayers.
• The fourth way is for one to be self-taught, such as Elefseria.
• The fifth way is for them to consume a Dragon's flesh or an actual Dragon Slayer. The ones who learn Dragon Slayer through this method are referred to as Fifth Generation Dragon Slayers.

Dragon Slayer Abilities

Notice: The following abilities are fanon interpretations. They can be freely used by anyone.

Dragon Force

Natsu Dragneel's Etherion induced Dragon Force.

Dragon Force (竜の力(ドラゴンフォース) Doragon Fōsu lit. "Power of the Dragon") is a form of partial-draconization that effectively turns the user into a humanoid dragon. They gain draconic traits such as sharp elongated canines and scale-like patterns on their skin as well as other unique attributes. It greatly increases the damage dealt by Dragon Slayer Magic and gives them access to more powerful attacks. It also drastically enhances their physical strength, speed, and magic power. Their Aura can even appear in the form of a Dragon. It is the most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can unleash and is said to rival the might of true dragons. It is also empowered by combining it with Dragon Modes, such as consuming and activating a second element or unleashing Dragon King Mode.

Dragonization

Irene Belserion's draconization.

Dragonization (竜化, Ryuka) is a side effect of Dragon Slayer Magic due to the Dragon Seed in each Dragon Slayer. Execcisve use of Dragon Slayer Magic can slowly transform the user into a dragon themselves. It is denoted by draconic features beginning to overtake the caster, such as scales, wings, and reptilian eyes. It grants the user increased physical prowess as their physiology becomes more draconic. Dragonization can be controlled by a Dragon creating antibodies to prevent the spread of dragonization. Through patience and training, Dragon Slayers can even willingly partially dragonize themselves to make use of the greater physical capacity their draconic attributes grant them.

Dragon Modes

Dual Element Dragon Mode (モード二要素竜, Mōdo Niyōsoryū) is an advanced capability of Dragon Slayers that allows them to consume an element other than their own to combine the elements inside their body and use the properties of both at the same time. This gives them more versatility, new spells, and enhances the power of their magic greatly.

Single Element Enhancement Mode (モード優位要素竜, Mōdo Yūiyōsoryū lit. "Superior Dragon Element Mode") is an advanced capability of Devil Slayers that allows them to reach the ultimate heights of their element by modifying its properties such as turning lightning to red lightning or iron to steel. It also manifests as a phenomenon called Dragon King Mode (モード竜王, Modo Ryūō), or Dragon Queen Mode (竜女王, Modo Ryūjoō), in which the Dragon Slayer invokes the truest depths of their element and accesses the full power of dragons.
