New Gen's BEST Power System EXPLAINED (Black Clover)

[@birdup2141]

I like how the arcane stage isn't necessarily the most powerful stage its just unable to be ranked because the people ranked there are sort of exceptions to conventional means

[@liamsalb620]

Best example is Nero (Secre) She is no where near as powerful as even a Level 2 mage but because she has grown her power to be as advanced as it is, shes an arcane stage.

[@blazie42069]

I like how BC's power system is basically an old power system that is refined so well that it feels new.

[@connorohalloran1636]

That's practically black Clover, doesn't reinvent the wheel. It hits the nail on the head

[@GourmetSandEater]

Zora said weaker runes and arrays last longer than powerful ones, so people with low mana can make more complex runes like his trap magic and magnas soulchain deathmatch.

[@Jyiber]

Asta was a terrifying existence prior to obtaining anti-magic because he defies natural order. Zaggred (the word devil) summoned that grime that absorbs both life and mana _(because the two are directly connected)_ but the moment it touched Asta nothing happened to him. Much like how he survived 9 months in his mother's womb, which would have been certain death for anyone else- considering the passive ability of his mother to drain life and mana.

[@asianpersuasion4901]

we still need more context on asta's birth. for all we know, Licita could have been cursed right after Asta was born, or near the end of her pregnancy.

[@ボーイアニメファン]

[@asianpersuasion4901]

@@ボーイアニメファン I don't think 5 leaf clover is only usable by devils. after all, spade kingdom essentially has their own "devil grimoires" and they are just indicated by the black color, which are still used by humans (with devils helping)

In Spade there is no Specific Devil Grimoire mention till Date and Lucius was chosen by Double Spade which is more like Equivalent to 4 leaf clover from Clover Kingdom. Even before he become Devil Host. Astas Existence is most definitely unexplained as well as unknown ven till now with No solid answers as of now. 5 Leaf clover have unique characteristic unlike any other Grimoire I can mention many of em. Them which makes it more weird how Asta Maged to use a Grimoire with basically basic to no Info on it

[@asianpersuasion4901]

@@ボーイアニメファン Well until heart, diamond, and spade show the equivalent of a 4 leaf and 5 leaf clover, it's pretty likely that special versions of those kindgom's grimoires (even if they look normal) can be used by devils, cause saying devils can only use clover grimoires because only clover has different types of grimoires doesn't seem right.

[@cosmomind7469]

You forgot to mention hidden magic That’s the OP magic that Zora and Magna use Hidden magic is using spells that aren’t in your grimoire. The way to do this is by the use of rune arrays and great understanding of mana. Basically when a strong mage uses the mana method, the runes they make are denser than the natural mana so the end up dissipating when used. However if the user has weak mana, the runes just stay floating around in the air. Using this technicality, Zora figured out that he can keep adding runes/commands to his magic circles into making a ridiculously complicated spell that it effects the fundamental aspects of mana. The 2 examples of these spells are: Zora counter trap- absorbs a enemy’s spell into the circle, it changes it’s attribute to match the spell fired and shoots it back twice as hard. Magmas soul death match- which creates a binding chain to the user and victim souls, which constantly equal there mana and it goes away when one is knocked out. The reason no one uses this method is because it’s derived by the mana method, which is a specialty of the heart kingdom, and they focus on increasing the magicians stage to better use mana method. So no ever thought of it, Zora just happened to self teach rune arrays and went nuts.

[@Samsaknight]

In the officials it’s secret flame magic. Which is just a name of a spell. Also ppl can use spells outside of their grimoire normally

[@michaeleanthonyjr]

One mild issue that I have with how this concept is handled is that the core fundamentals of magic in BC aren't very well explained. So when Magna mentions that he can't just copy Zora's doubling kickback counter spell, I'm only left wondering why that is, because if all you're doing is writing runes to give your magic instructions, then logically speaking, that's basically the same as copying somebody else's code for your own program. So the only reason I could speculate on is that Magna just might not have enough mana, but that's not communicated in the story, so it feels like a limitation that only exists to justify why Magna doesn't just copy Zora's counter spell. Also is "Hidden Magic" a community term? I don't remember seeing that in the story and I don't think it's even on the wiki.

[@Samsaknight]

@@michaeleanthonyjr Ur right it’s bc he doesn’t have the mana. But that’s been throughly explained, I have no idea how u missed that. Also hidden magic was the unofficial translation for secret magic

[@michaeleanthonyjr]

@@Samsaknight Where was the explanation for that? If you're talking about the scene with Magna and Luck both trying to use Mana Method, that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the scene where Magna is learning about how Zora uses Mana Method and they study together to help him build his own complex spell. Magna's exact words in the english translation are "Me and that attribute are totally... I don't think I can do the Double-it-and-kick-back thing." That line doesn't say anything about his mana supply being the thing that is preventing him from using the counter spell, it only mentions compatibility in the form of attributes which I don't think is even related to the counter spell. And if his low mana is the reason, then why can Zora do it? Isn't the whole point of the Rune Arrays that Zora and Magna use that you can produce unique and powerful spells specifically because you're not using a lot of mana to produce the spell's effect?

[@Samsaknight]

@@michaeleanthonyjr Ur missing the entire point. Not just that scene but throughout the entire series it’s been stated Magna basically has no mana. It’s also been stated that the more complex the Zora’s traps are, the more mana it takes

There are 3 different ways to reach Arcane stage, which is the level above Stage 0: become a devil host or weg, meaning you've encountered and channeled negative mana before, reach the Saint Stage with your Elemental Spirit, or learn Ultimate magic. The main reason this ranks above Stage 0 has more to do with their affinity to combat high-rank devils. I really enjoyed this breakdown of the power system! I think it's the first time I've ever heard it talked about so detailed!

I don’t think running out of mana actually kills a person like chakra in Naruto, if that was the case, both Magna and Dante would’ve died since they both confirmed ran out of mana and had to bare knuckle box (showing they also still had stamina) Life force is also described as something separate from mana as Gaja, stated he would use all his life force to fuel his mana when he attacked the devil.

[@keltoncino8420]

Magna and Dante fist fought because magna linked their mana supply with soul chain death match, making it useless to fight with magic

[@Weeb-Knight]

Mana is part of life force since …… Spoiler alert Lucius soul magic can manipulate people’s soul however he wants either to change their born-attribute- magic or destroy their soul but it didn’t work his soul magic on Asta since Asta doesn’t have mana.

[@satan6948]

​@@Weeb-Knight spoiler alert The reason why lucius didn't change asta's soul is because he can't when asta is in devil union magic has no effect at all which is why their fight was a fist fight since only physical attacks can harm him

[@__Oku__]

@@Weeb-Knight Mana and life force have been stated to be different. Life force is one's physical health and stamina. A person's soul has nothing to do with life force. Lucius isn't the only one who can manipulate people's souls. ALL forbidden magic and devils can do that too. And it doesn't affect their life force at all. Beelzebub and Megicula altered Zenon's and Loropechika's souls by turning them into devils. When healing people, Mimosa specifically mentioned that she can only replenish people's life force but not their Mana. Noelle ran out of mana against Vetto. Magna and Dante both ran out of Mana. Mimosa ran out of magic when trying to heal Asta, while he was fighting Lucifero.

7:37 not really, the Magic stones Can store vast amounts of mana, meaning that After that, someone can use this huge amount of mana to enpower themselves. However, the stone had negative mana because Licht, that started to become a demon, stored as much negative mana as possible into it in order to weaken himself before becoming a demon

[@marcelocapeljunior3579]

Well, Arcane Stage magic is a bit different. It's not that it is the highest stage, but that it stands as another option for mages to fight against Devils. Things like Anti-Magic, or Sealing Magic, or Transmutation Magic. Those are magic types that are unique by themselves. And its those same properties that allow Arcane Stages to fight on the same level as Stage 0 and 1, the highest ones in terms of raw power.

If I took a shot the amount of times I heard release I'd be very hammered

[@somethingyt5290]

I could go into detail with how many Um Actually's there are here, but here is the biggest four in order of which are important 1. First the tiers of Magic are this Level 5-1, Level 0, Saint Stage/Arcane Stage; Arcane and Saint stage are on the same level because they are both capable of killing devils, Asta kills devils because they are extreme manifistations of Mana, Noelle kills devils because her level of Mana when she's united with Undyne override the amount of Mana Megicula had 2. Murcury magic is derived from Water and Steel Magic being mixed together, so it's elemental COMPOUNDS that are the driving factor of what element you get, if your dad had Fire Magic and your mom had Water Magic, you might get either of those abilities depending on the strength of magic of either parent, the stronger force of Mana being the winner, OR a Combination of the two into either Mist Magic or Steam Magic depending on which parent's magic was stronger Mist being Water winner and Steam being Fire. TLDR; Magic is Compounded and extremely dependent on which Parent Magic is stronger 3. The "Irregularities" you described ARE part of the NATRUAL cycle of Magic, they are NOT Irregularities but simply the PRIMAL Magics, Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind, are the most common of the Primal Magics because of the simple fact they are compoundable, Dark, Light, Time, Dream, Spatial, And all those other ones are PRIMAL magics, that cannot be compounded 4. It's not Charmy who uses the Transformation Magic, it's Grey, and her Magic is Transmutation Magic now cus she understands the properties of her magic a whole lot better now
