I always thought the slayer-magic is very close to the maker-magic, with just having something like an bonus-damage (like they have in video-games. windmagic gives tripple-damage to brids but normal against everyone else) and the ability to eat that stuff. especialy if you compare gajeels iron-magic to ice-make: gajeel can cover himself in iron without going dragonforce (he did that back in the phantom lord-arc before mashima even thought about dragonforce), his curb and sword looks similar to ice-bringer and i think there are some artworks where he is making little toys orsomething out of iron (in the similar fashion gray did when he used his magic the first time in the manga - back chapter 10 or so...)
