yin is dealing with the spiritual (mental things) and yang with the physical. to my IRL experience these depictions are accurate many people are possessed with spirits to some degree that end up making them who they are.

@@jacob9673 not entering the arguement of whether deceiving entitys that influence your mental psyche using some unorthodox non observable force exist or not. But i have been wanting to question someone like yourself, what urges you to argue someones beliefs of supernatural forces? For instance yin and yang, i myself have encountered someone who believed themselves to be an empath one that could feel others emotions, aswell as sense ghosts and other spiritual forces, instead of arguing this belief and outwardly trying to disprove that they could in fact Not sense emotions or see spirits as they werent being outwardly dickish about it and seemed to have more enjoyment out of day to day life. instead of taking this from them disproving their beliefs and removing what makes them special in their mind, i allowed them to carry on this belief, as it didnt seem to hurt themselves or others so (as i was aware of) why do you argue otherwise for this guy? TLDR; why argue people's spiritual beliefs if it doesnt affect you or others but instead just angers one or both partys? (Assuming they arent being dicks about it)

I wanna point out that it’s a misconception even within the re:zero universe that Yin magic is ‘debuffs’, it’s simply such a rare element to have an affinity with that advanced users of it essentially don’t exist as no one lives long enough to learn lost forms and it’s so rare that yin users don’t meet often, let alone enough to pass knowledge of the magic down through generations. [SPOILERS FROM NOW ON FOR ANIME ONLYS] Beatrice is the ONE known exception to this, as she is a great spirit with a Yin affinity, and has spent 400 years learning about it and becoming likely the most advanced Yin user in history, she’s capable of utilising the element to its full capability, and through her we find out that Yin magic is actually at its core the manipulation of space and time, the most basic of spells like Shamac manipulate space slightly to cause visual and auditory illusions, but the highest form of the same spell, which has been lost to time except in betty’s case, is capable of sending its target to another dimension entirely. Additionally, Beatrice’s Minya spell appears to just be crystallised Yin mana, but the way they damage their target and the way Betty describes them tells us otherwise, the mana arrows created by the spell are actually made of mana that has been frozen in time, or ‘stagnant time’ as Betty says, this is why they can’t be deflected and are so deadly, if one pierces you it begins freezing you in time until your body crystallises into stagnation as well, at which point you fall apart. There’s so much more to it and the way that spell forms can be manipulated in the imagination of the magician before being released means that even Subaru can alter it to make the Minya arrows more deadly, explosive, serrated etc and advanced yin users like Betty can cause the shards of the arrows to stand perfectly still acting as immovable fields of razor blades or even create rifts in space time with a spell like Minya, which she does while fighting the great rabbit to annihilate some of them. Her door crossing is also a manipulation of space, as is her ability to nullify gravity, teleport herself and others both short and long distances, and more recently her ability to warp the space time around herself and Subaru to create an effect similar to regulus’ authority, preventing those inside the distortion from being touched by anything and everything from the outside, as it simply cannot pass through a barrier of warped space and frozen time, just with a mana limiter rather than the way regulus’ authority works.

It could be possible, but it’s incredibly unlikely as Yin magic is so rare that no one with a normal human lifespan can learn its advanced forms as they’re ancient and lost, Beatrice is the only person so far capable of using advanced Yin magic and especially a spell as advanced as Al Shamac because she’s been practicing it for centuries

I'm making a power system in my shonen manga and its called Zen Two which is a martial arts technique that focuses on the manipulation of prana (life energy). I know that Re:Zero also calls magic prana but prana in my manga series is directly drawn from the original hinduistic version the word and concept of ki/chi/qi. Zen Tai is way too complex for me to explain in this comment but it basically centers on the idea that prana is basically everything as well as being the life blood of the universe. Prana is also treated as something very special and sacred since when someone unlocks their ability to use it they are usually considered to be awakened or enlightened and can never go back to how their lives were before. However if it is used incorrectly it has a variety of consequences such as accelerated aging or insanity. Prana also deals with opposing forces living together in harmony as well as self discovery and the idea that true strength comes from maturity and understanding rather than latent power and pure force of will. This system also demands that one must be strategic to win fights.

SPOILERS FOR ARC 6 After finding out that Satella's shadows are based on Yin Magic, I wonder if all the Authorities are extremely powerful, corrupt types of Yin Magic, or at least based on them. Gravity manipulation similar to what Hector does is possible with Yin Magic, for instance, as is manipulating the senses, which could explain Petelgeuse's Unseen Hands, and even Sirius' Authority. Hell, Subaru and Beako outright replicated Regulus' invincibility with Yin Magic. The only one I'm really stuck on is Lust's Variance and Change.

[@zandromex8985]

I do not think that authorities are an aplication of Yin Magic. Satella was mentioned to be the most powerful Yin magic user, but that could be even before she got the gene of envy, and even then we don´t know what her actual authority is. Echidna and Beako mention that uthorities are an extension of someone´s will, and an antithesis of Od Laguna. If anyhting, I´d describe them with our current knowledge as sort of divine protections you give to yourself. there are sure still a lot of mysteries to them, but I still believe they are not magic.

So, can you use magic outside of your affinity? Cause Rem can use Huma (Presumably a fire spell), but also has healing powers, and I doubt she's a Spirit Arts user, so that means she must be able to use water magic. She could just have an affinity for both fire and water magic, or maybe spells cast with your Od rather than Mana aren't limited by affinity (The phrasing was a bit unclear on that), but whatever it is, it's been bugging me since I first watched this video. I've also seen a lot of fanfics use the idea of channeling mana in its raw form through your body to enhance your physical capabilities as an explanation for the likes of, say, Wilhelm's crazy acrobatics against the White Whale. Is that canon, or just a widespread headcanon?

Huma is water magic, and I'm not sure about the acrobatics part. I always thought Wilhelm was just very strong physically

[@niravtandel8812]

Not sure if this was answered but. Are all Al Goas the same? Meaning is a spells power solely dependent on if mana is available or does individual power matter? Meaning if Roswaal fired an Al Goa and Emilia fired an Al Goa, assuming Roswaal is stronger, would both those spells be the same power

[@missinglegs]

So I'm thinking there's actually 4 types of magic in this universe! Where exactly do curses fit in those 3 types? It's not a spirit art or a Devine blessing, it's also not from a witch, so not an authority the most likely thing would be elemental magic, but curses reffed to separately from that, so it has to be a separate type of magic!

[@kunfupandarofl]

I want to hear the answer to this too. What I personally think is that curses are a secret amalgamation of elemental magic (like Roswaal's flight magic), and made in a way that sets a ticking bomb which can be easily removed (in low numbers) before its activation, but is designed to stick and runs its course after activation.

[@manofgreed7865]

Beatrice said in episode 8 that curses are simple spells before activating, so they are in the Magic category

[@AlbedoLyre]

Curses are a non-elemental spellform that function differently to normal magic, as they’re often used to inflict damage by stealing mana from the target. They’re entirely separate from the elemental magic spells

[@tiazoh]

Dark most likely.

A little adding. In terms of incantation difficulty (from easiest to hardest): divine blessings->magic->autorities. Don't ask why (cause some explanations might touch arc 6 spoilers).

[@RuriGokouMadoMura]

Thanks for this video, I'd recently decided to read the novels from the end of Arc 3 after rewatching the anime, and even though I understood the magic system in Re:Zero was more complex than those usually in anime, this video was really helpful in elaborating on that. I really appreciate how in-depth this system is, reminds me a lot of Fate/Stay Night's magic system (the novels for that series are also super detailed about how magic works), and the concept of mana and od is very similar between the 2 series as well.

I thought the magic used by Felix was healing but i was wrong, yeah i see why games like final fantasy are more basic than this.

[@alecLogan]

It’s possible it counts as actively trying to use magic above skill level (and damaging the Gate), but can magic be faked? By which I mean, can a spell be bluffed? It was mentioned that not even Roswaal can use Al Shamak, but could someone fake attempting to cast a spell that they can’t, or would that instead overdraw from their Od to try and activate anyway? On that note, has anyone with no affinity for one element but an affinity for something else tried to use (or fake use) that first one?

[@AlbedoLyre]

You could probably bluff magic because if you aren’t actually intending to use the spellform you’re exclaiming then it won’t work, there’s intent behind the spells it’s not just a word that makes magic shoot out of nowhere. There’s non-elemental magic in Re:Zero too that can be used for other things through the manipulation of raw mana, so it wouldn’t be unlikely that illusory spells could exist as fakes, although you’d have to know how to cast the real spell too to emulate it properly as an illusion
