Molding Magic (造形魔法 Zōkei Mahō) is a Caster Magic used by Molding Mages.
Description[]
Molding Magic being demonstrated with ice.
This magic allows the user to mold or create something by concentrating their Magic Power into their hands, like an element, into different shapes or forms.[1] If the user uses both of their hands in molding an element, they can increase the accuracy of their manipulation of said element. Casting one-handed is easier, but it is a less stable form of molding, and may result in less powerful creations.[10][11] Currently, there are only six known types of Molding Magic: Ice-Make; Wood-Make; Memory-Make; Iron-Make; Water-Make; and Fire-Make. Though, Corpse Dragon Slayer Magic was also speculatively referred to as Ash-Make, implying the existence of said type.[12]
Molding Magic has been described as an "unrestrained" type of Magic, with the shapes created reflecting the personality of the user.[13] Therefore, creations tend to be different from user to user, even if the users happen to be proficient in the same element.[1][5][14] This type of Magic can be easily mistaken for Alchemy.[15][16]
Skilled users are able to mold foreign elements conjured by other Mages, reshaping them for the molding Mage’s use as well as any unique properties it may have,[17] they can even channel the energy of said properties through their bodies and fire at a target.[18] Mages with a secondary elemental magic that have special effects can make use of it to augment their Molding Magic, such as Ice Devil Slayer Magic for Ice-Make,[19] or Fire Dragon Slayer Magic for Fire-Make.[20]
