I always wondered how Gildarts could use Magic with that arm. His spells destroy stuff and he admitted having a not-so-excellent control over it. I would say he destroys his own fake arm any time he even tries to channel magic into it, but why even bother to still apply logic in FT?

August's Magic King title was likely an exaggeration the common people came up with. Not that it justifies the disappointment.
