Talk:Dragon Slayer Magic

Magic
yep i agree with Umibouzu their magic is already in the charact page Gray CS 22.33, 19 may 2009

shouldn't the stellar spirits page be merged into this one? or better yet, name this page as 'Dragon Slayer Magic', and have both types of magic have their own pages? Lazy Mage 21:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I think a few of us agreed that there shouldn't be a magic page, as the attacks are already on the character pages, you can make this a Dragon Slayer page Umibouzu

allright. (I hope I do this right lol) Lazy Mage 17:46, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

i think that we need to add luxus in the dragon slayer page, he is a fake DS but he can use thunder dragon slayer magic so in a way he is ( his rairyu houkou and his dragon scales are evidence it)Gray_CS 31 may

Sure, but we'd need to specify that he's fake. Baithin 23:39, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Why the redirect?
Why does Magic and Abilities redirect to this page? This is only oneof the types of magic. Dalyup! 19:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry again...
Well, I fixed the redirect thing myself, and made the Dragon Slayer magic a different page, but I totally revamped the Magic and Abilities page... I didn't think I needed to ask anyone. Some disagreed to the idea, as I just read above, but I think it sort of works well... =/ Please tell me what you think. User:Baithin

oks i have no problem i mean its not a bad idea after all =). also i added in Leon´s page some of his ice spells so they can be added in the ice magic page

Alright, I'll get right on that! I will add Leon's skills to the ice magic page... User:Baithin

Trivia....
Umm, the trivia section is a little heavy, the eating magic can be considered as one of the general characteristics of a Dragon Slayer, and the Enchantments part is pure speculation..- Umi

Dragon Force
Why is it stated that everything that has scales is dragon force? People still see Gazilles steel scales as dragon slayer, when its not. and is it ever stated that Cobra and Luxus HAVE to turn into Dragon Force to use it?-Umi

your right, its more a faux-dragon force for the artifical dragon slayers.--CloudHiro 13:24, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Blade Edge
Where can I put these move? It's the one used to defeat Faust Rauleli 01:35, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Who was it used by? I can't remember.

Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel. It's a combo: Gajeel renders the movements of Dorma Anim by using DS powers, then Wendy uses Sky Dragon's Roar on Natsu to make him spin in the air and then Natsu's hands ignite into flames and uses '''Dragon's Blade Edge! Rauleli 01:43, April 30, 2011 (UTC)'''

Then I would probably make a new section under the Old Dragon Slayer's section called Combination Spells and list it there.

Umm... I'll just put it under the "unique" section in each one of them. thx for the idea though Rauleli 02:07, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

There used to be a combined technique section under the old dragon slayer section, but I don't know why it was removed... Also, I have posted 2 images that were part of the combined technique in the gallery. Use those rather than the one from the stream. Chaos Knight -{E-mail}  02:10, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Oh ok then Rauleli 02:14, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Laxus
why is Laxus here?

isn't he a fake dragon slayer?

No, he's an artifiicial Dragon Slayer, but he's still a dragon slayer.

Clarifying some things before it goes out of control...
As some people has noticed, there are two variation to "Dragon Slayer", the original japanese, "Metsuryū Mahō" (滅竜魔法 lit. Dragon Slaying Magic), or "Doragon Sureia/Dragon Slayer" (滅竜魔法　ドラゴンスレイヤー)　from japanese pronunciation. As clarified by Mashima in volume 8: afterwords, Dragon Slayers are wizards that used metsuryū mahō to fight dragons. Before clarification, this caused many confusion in Japan because the meaning of the kanji "Dragon Slaying Magic" conflicted with the correct meaning of "Dragon Slayer". Therefore, Mashima clarified and noted that the new term for Dragon Slayers in Japanese is 滅竜魔導士 (Metsuryū Madoshi, Still pronounced as "Dragon Slayer", however).

In short, "Dragon Slayers" (滅竜魔導士) are wizard that use "Metsuryū Mahō" (滅竜魔法).

So what does this mean for us? The truth is not much, as the english version still kept it as Dragon Slayer from what I remembered. It only really matters to the addition of kanji in the article. Chaos Knight -{E-mail}  18:12, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I think we should stray away from the english version on this one like we did with Mage. I think we should have a page for the Dragon Slayers(Mages who use the Magic) and the Magic like we did with Celestial Spirits and Celestial Spirit Magic. This not only eases confusion but is more accurate. In addition, this would also solve the infobox image problem because I was just about to remove the one we have currently as it shows the Dragon Slayers but it doesn't demonstrate Dragon Slayer Magic. --

I think I might handle that now as the article's wording is a bit confusing.

picture
The reason I changed the picture was because I thought we would need a picture depicting more than one dragon slayer.--joshua 19:45, February 3, 2012 (UTC)Super side swiper

What are you talking about? 20:45, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Weakness
B j, so: Why did you said that Speculation and sweeping statement about the Dragon Slayers users' weaknesses? Even we don't have the official explanation about this, it is a fact that all of them have the same weakness with transportation. That means that is worth to mention in the article. Dragon NJMB 06:17, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

All of them? Really? Wendy too? And Rogue? And adding "it only applies to high-ranking Dragon Slayers" is speculation.

Wendy is not (yet) an high-ranking Dragon Slayer and Rogue said that he thought that the only ones that have this weakness are Sting and himself (Chapter 276, Page 12). Also, in the episode, is revealed that Laxus also suffer this weakness. Dragon NJMB 06:49, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

One word. Speculation.

Dragon Elemental Advantage
I was wondering, can I add an article of text to each of the Dragon Slayer Magics, stating the advantage each form possesses. For example:

Fire DSM: Overwhelming offensive ability; Iron DSM: Powerful offensive as well as exceptional defensive ability; Sky DSM: Healing ability; etc.

What do you think? Can I? (Shadoguardian (talk) 06:48, August 28, 2012 (UTC))

It's that already in those pages? 19:19, August 28, 2012 (UTC)

I meant the advantage each form of DSM possesses over the other forms of DSM. (Shadoguardian (talk) 03:50, August 29, 2012 (UTC))

No. There's no need to reference other Magics in a Magic page. Plus, it leans on the side of speculation. 03:55,8/29/2012

Blocked?
How can a person add sources if you don't let them? (Shadoguardian (talk) 02:26, February 8, 2013 (UTC))

It had to be locked due to certain users inserting unneeded trivia, and trivia that is not trivia. It will be unlocked tomorrow. 02:34, February 8, 2013 (UTC)

^I don't realy think it is unnecessary. Instead it should be put in the description though. If both Natsu and Gajeel could absorb someone else's Dragonslayer magic, then it must be something everyone can do, we should at least mention it somewhere in the article. I say it belongs in the description. --FirePit (talk) 15:02, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

That would be speculation as it is most likely only 1st generation DS can do it, but that would also be speculation. It will, however, be mentioned that its possible for it to happen 23:45, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Hybridforms
shouldn't it be pointed out somewhere in the article, that dragonslayers can absorb other dragonslayer's elements, like what Natsu did with Laxus and Gajeel to Rouge --FirePit (talk) 20:42, February 11, 2013 (UTC)
