Magic (魔法, Mahō), also known as Magical Power, is a supernatural force utilized by Mages of various species and Magicians.
Summary[]
Magic is the power born by researching about the Devils' Demonic Power and Gods's miracles, which also became a power that Humans can control. While there exist multiple types of Magic such as Norse Magic, Fairy Magic and various different types of Magic with different equations including the Magic that Gods & their respective pantheons use, it is said that the majority of Magic that is used by the ordinary Human Magicians are those created by the great Magician; Merlin Ambrosius which involved reading the flow.[1]
Abilities[]
All kinds of Magic are used in for many purposes such as offense, Defense, supporting, Healing, as well as other, more practical or mundane purposes.
In Volume 14, Le Fay Pendragon mentions that Demonic Power requires the power of using your imagination and the power to create, as well as having a good sense, while Magic is just knowledge to control equations, i.e. using your head and making calculations. So while they seem similar, they are very different from each other. Kuroka further added that Magic was something where the user uses the knowledge and calculations to know, for instance; "If I do this, this will happen". She elaborated there are some Magicians who're able to use Magic that hasn't been solved through using their sense and talent, but these are special people where "super" needed to be added ten times in front of "rare".
In Volume 17, it is stated that a skilled Magician like Rossweisse develops their own unique magical formula suited to them and allows them to better use Magic. In the case of her, her formula restrains down how much the Magical Power is consumed to its utmost limit, but it’s also something which strengthens both the offensive and defensive power positively.
Some individuals are noted to have a talent and affinity for Magic, as demonstrated by Lavinia Reni, as she was easily able to learn the Magic taught by her master. However, there also exists the possibility that a particular Magic user might lack talent in using certain Magic, though there also exists the possibility that they can excel at other Magic; such as Rossweisse who was incapable of using the spiritual Magic that her family specializes in, but was able to easily learn and master offensive Magic.[2]
Shooting Star's Bishop is in a similar situation, being able to use basic spells, such as Elemental spells, but each of them holds immense power and range, which Rossweisse has also theorized could be due to her immense Magical Power and Aura.[3]
Magic can also be used to create powerful mystical weapons and objects, such as Excalibur, which was created using Alchemy and Magic by Church Alchemists as well as the Mistilteinn Wand by the Norse faction.

Trivia[]
- Unlike other settings, DxD Magic has thus far always been shown as something that is crafted from other forms of power/energy instead of being an independent force.
- Teleportation and Summoning Magic are quite similar to one another.
- The Norse are one of the central factions for the study and use of Magic.
- Devils use their own system of "Demonic Magic" which is powered by Demonic Power. Despite this being the case, other Magicians who are Humans can use Devil Magic by using their own Magical Power as a substitute.
- It has been revealed that there was and still is an ongoing argument for the usage of Magic at the Church, though some are opposed to it since Magic originated from the Demonic Powers of Devils, so it’s something that won’t please those people with high status and strong beliefs in the traditional teachings of the Church.[4]
