Magic (魔法 Mahō) is a paranormal power that alters mana passing through a being's gate into a form that has an effect on reality.

Information
Magic is made up of six elements; Fire (火 Hi), Water (水 Mizu), Wind (風 Kaze), Earth (土 Tsuchi), Yin (陰 In), and Yang (陽 Yō). It is further classified into four categories; Fire element that covers temperature, Water element that covers life and healing, Wind element that functions outside of the bodies of living things, and Earth element that functions inside of the bodies of living things[1] Some incantations for each element are Goa for fire, Huma for water, Fura for wind, Dona for earth, Shamak for Yin, and Jiwald for Yang.
The strength of spells starts from the original incantation and increases by adding El, Ul, or Al (example: Goa, El Goa, Ul Goa, and Al Goa for fire).[2] Yin spells cover debuffs while Yang spells cover buffs. An ordinary person is considered to be well off if they are compatible with either fire, water, wind, or earth. Although incantations are generally used to cast spells, if the user is experienced enough they can cast them without saying anything.[3]
While most of the mages are capable of using one element, some people are able to use multiple elements and if the user is talented enough they can combine elements like Balleroy Temeglyph.
Generally, there are two types of primary casters in Re:Zero's world, Magic Users and Spirit Users which are largely differentiated by how they use mana to cast spells. The former draw on their internal mana through their gates while the latter uses the mana in the atmosphere with the aid of spirits to process spells directly.[4] Spirits can also act as pseudo gates for their contractors if they are lacking the means to use magic on their own.
Though not considered magic, normal people are also capable of utilising mana for their own benefits. One of such, are different warriors, knights, swordsmen and the like. By subconsciously using their own mana and letting it flow through their body, they imbue themselves with magic-like properties, such as enhanced speed, agility, reflexes, strength and healing. Naturally, these boosts aren't as strong as Yang Magic or Spirit-given boosts but are non the less capable of allowing someone like Wilhelm van Astrea to react to incoming blows with inhuman speed, delivering sword slashes with inhuman precision from awkward angles, jumping very high in the air and dashing at almost lightning-fast reflexes.

| Al Shamak (アル・シャマク) |
Beatrice | Al Shamak is capable of sending its target to a different dimension. It is borderline impossible for a living being to come back from the dimension they were teleported to. | Yin Magic | Volume 15 |

Beatrice | Beatrice can connect the door of the library to any door she wishes to, as long as she's been to that designated location. She can also use a limited version of Door Crossing to teleport things or people. | Yin Magic | Volume 2 |
| Nect (ネクト) |
In and Nes | A high level magic that enables people to share senses within the effect area by connecting their gates. It is considered to be difficult to use, however In and Nes can use it by pairing Yin and Yang Magic together and tuning the interference of mana between people. If it is too weak the thoughts won't get through, yet if it's too strong people won't know where the line between them and other people begin. | Combination of Yin and Yang Magic | Volume 8 |
| Restoration Magic (復元魔法 Fukugen Mahou) |
Darts | A type of Yang magic that can recover objects to their original state. It's mainly used by specialists who have the innate affinity for Yang so not that many people can use it. | Yang Magic | Volume 17 (mentioned) |
| Duplication Magic (複製魔法 Fukusei Mahou) |
Unnamed | Magic that can copy one thing into two. Not that many people can use it. If used on a living thing, it can only copy its skin, but if it's used on something like food it's thought to be able to copy it without any problems. However, both the original and the copy degrade slightly after use. | Normally Earth Magic but can change based on original item | Unspecified |
| Minya (ミーニャ) |
Beatrice Natsuki Subaru |
Magic that creates stakes made of crystallized mana covered with light purple flames. They are strong enough to penetrate defenses. Any stakes in the air explode and release smaller stakes that fly in all directions which then rips targets apart. | Yin Magic | Volume 12 |
| El Minya (エル・ミーニャ) |
Beatrice | The spell works exactly the same as normal Minya, only changing the amount of stakes shot to 40. | Yin Magic | Volume 15 |
| UI Minya (ウル・ミーニャ) |
Beatrice | The user creates a purple ring of light around the target that shrinks and binds the target, subsequently spreading across their body. Once the target is bound, a huge purple blue light appears above the target to destroy them. The effect is currently unknown as Beatrice's attempt was stopped partway through. | Yin Magic | Volume 20 |
| Jiwald (ジワルド) |
Sphinx Echidna (Artificial Spirit) Echidna |
User fires heat rays from their fingers. | Yang Magic | Ex Volume 2 |
| El Jiwald (エル・ジワルド) |
Echidna (Artificial Spirit) | The user fires several rays from their fingers which are then brought down in a claw-like motion. | Yang Magic | Volume 23 |
| Al Jiwald (アル・ジワルド) |
Sphinx | Al Jiwald is the ultimate form of Jiwald. The user fires a destructive ray of heat from their palm that annihilates everything in its path and is extremely hard to block or counter. | Yang Magic | Ex Volume 2 |
| Murak (ムラク) |
Beatrice | The user reduces the effects of gravity. Just by lightly pushing yourself off the ground, a person can jump as if they had springs. If the user wishes to, it can also be used to fly, although the user will get blown around by the wind like a leaf, but they won't flip around in mid-air. | Yin Magic | Volume 15 |
| Vita (ヴィータ) |
Beatrice | The user casts this spell to amplify the effects of gravity, making an object heavier. | Yin Magic | Volume 25 |
| El Vita (エル・ヴィータ) |
Beatrice | El Vita presumably works the same as Vita and only grants extra mass to the object of casting, greatly amplifying its weight. | Yin Magic | Volume 25 |
| Healing Magic |
Ferris Rem Beatrice Garfiel Tinsel Puck Biehn Argyle Galic Fabless |
The user summons water mana to heal the wounds of themselves and other, however, Healing Magic only affects physical damage. The spell's power varies by the skill and talent of the individual or partially that of spirit if the caster is using the spell through Spirit Arts. According to Roswaal L Mathers, if an individual has no regard for human life, they're unable to cast Healing Magic as it's a "gentle spell". | Water Magic | Volume 2 |
| Flying Magic (飛行魔法 Hikou Mahou) |
Roswaal L Mathers Sphinx |
This spell allows the user to float or fly in the sky. | Combination of Wind, Fire & Earth Magic | Volume 3 |
| Sacrament of the Immortal King (不死王の秘蹟 Fushiou no Hiseki) |
Ferris Biehn Argyle Sphinx |
This ancient and incredibly powerful magic spell can supposedly allow the user to reanimate corpses of the dead and make them do their bidding, though the full spell has been lost to history and it is currently impossible to replicate the full effects of it – the only incomplete incantation of it was passed down through generations of House Argyle, with the book describing it having burned to ash alongside with the Argyle mansion roughly a year before Subaru's arrival to the new world. The effect of the magic depends on the skill of the user as Biehn was only able to resurrect people as zombies, while Ferris was able to reanimate his mother's corpse though only for a very short duration before she crumbled to dust. According to the legends, the spell was created by an unnamed Witch, however, it has been long lost to time, making it borderline impossible to cast it in its entirety. Furthermore, the spell does not return the corpse's soul back to it's body, meaning not even the Sacrament of the Immortal King can successfuly revive a person just the way they were before their death. | Water Magic | Ex Volume 1 |
| Ice Brand Arts (アイスブランドアーツ) |
Emilia Lye Batenkaitos |
This technique allows Emilia to instantly conjure ice-made weapons which she can use and freely manipulate in close-quarters combat. The weapons are very sturdy and even capable of withstanding heat based attacks without melting. | Fire Magic | Volume 17 |
| Ice Brand Arts: Icicle Line (アイスブランドアーツ、アイシクルライン) |
Emilia | Emilia creates a limited area barrier made of ice particles around her opponent which she uses to attack in all directions by transforming the ice particles into weapons. | Fire Magic | Volume 22 |
| Ice Brand Arts: Ice Soldiers (アイスブランド・アーツ: 氷の兵隊) |
Emilia | Emilia can create soldiers who are completely made out of ice. These soldiers are exactly the same as actual humans and are clad in armour made of ice while wielding weapons made of ice. They follow every order given to them by Emilia. The soldiers' strength depends from the mana density; the more mana Emilia uses the stronger the soldiers will be. The technique was developed by her and Subaru some time after the events of the 4th arc hence, the soldiers take Subaru's appearance. Currently, Emilia is able to create up to seven proper Ice Soldiers and no less than ten soldiers with only their torsos, heads and arms. When destroyed, these soldiers can regenerate back to their full health as long as Emilia has the strength to do so. | Fire Magic | Volume 25 |
| Ice Flower (氷の花) |
Emilia | Emilia creates flowers made of ice on wounds of living beings within a certain area that suck the host's life force and bloom by sucking the host's blood. Seven years ago, Emilia couldn't control the effect area and stop it properly until Puck taught her how to do it correctly. | Fire Magic | Bond of Ice |
| Cocytus (コキュートス) |
Natsuki Subaru & Emilia | A large scale combined elemental spell by Subaru & Emilia which used Yin/Shadow & Fire Mana to create an icy prison that trapped the Great Rabbit. | Yin Magic & Fire Magic | Volume 15 |
| Absolute Zero (絶対零度) |
Emilia | The user creates a vacuum in an area, by freezing the atmosphere to an absurd degree. By doing so, even time will freeze inside of that vacuum and no one is capable of escaping it unharmed. The ability is noted to be Emilia's absolute trump card and is by far her most powerful ability in her arsenal. | Unknown (presumably Fire Magic) | Volume 25 |
| E・M・M | Natsuki Subaru and Beatrice | E・M・M is an "absolute defense magic". Beatrice uses Yin Magic to interfere with the time and space around Subaru, and while he can't move during activation, he experiences no interference from outside the barrier. It is similar to Regulus Corneas' Lion's Heart but doesn't have the same risk, forces Beatrice and Subaru to stand still and can be used until mana runs out. | Yin Magic | Volume 17 |
| E・M・T | Natsuki Subaru and Beatrice | E・M・T is an "absolute negation magic". A spherical field several ten meters long with Subaru and Beatrice at the centre is created which negates effects from mana within it. Julius remarks that it is useful against mages and those who use mana to assist their techniques. However, the magic only negates the use of mana, and so it has no effect against opponents who specialise in physical fighting. | Yin Magic | Volume 21 |
| Weather Changing Magic | Roswaal L Mathers | Weather Changing Magic (Altemillion (アルテミリオン) in the Web Novel) is a spell that allows the caster to freely change the weather with the usage of mana. The spell itself is extremely complex and requires a great deal of concentration and preparation. Roswaal L Mathers was forced to use a catalyst in form of a extremely high quality pyroxene crystal in order to cast it properly, during the events of Arc 4. | Fire, Wind & Water Magic | Volume 11 |
| Akra (アクラ) |
Priscilla Barielle | The user produces pale coloured light around the target that envelops them in a veil of golden light. The veil presumably allows the target to carry things with ease. This magic was cut from the Light Novel. | Yang Magic | Arc 3 (Web Novel only) |
| Al Clarista (アル・クラリスタ) |
Julius Juukulius | Julius imbues his sword with sixfold magic, cladding the blade in a rainbow hue. When it this state, his sword is capable of cutting through pretty much everything. When Julius pierces his opponent, he scorches away his very soul, delivering a fatal wound. | All Six Elements | Volume 9 |
| Al Clauzeria (アル・クラウゼリア) |
Julius Juukulius | Julius' spirits from a circle around the the tip of his sword which envelopes the surrounding with a pure white light that unleashes a blow that aims to pierce an opponent. When making contact with a solid surface, the light expands in a circular shape, creating an expanding rainbow dome that scorches away everything in its path. | All Six Elements | Volume 9 |
| Al Cranvel (アル・クランヴェル) |
Julius Juukulius | Julius calls upon the power of his newly-bloomed Spirits and clads himself in their sixfold power, greatly increasing his speed and overall power while also appearing as if his entire body has been swallowed by a rainbow. This skill is noted to be Julius' ultimate technique. | All Six Elements | Volume 25 |
| Fell Goa | Julius Juukulius | Julius calls on La to produce a powerful magical firestorm, combining both Fire and Wind Magic. | Fire and Wind Magic | Volume 17 |
| Al Shario (アル・シャリオ) |
Echidna | The user topples the very stars from the sky, sending them hurling towards her enemies, causing unimaginable devastation. The projectiles are mentioned to be nigh impossible to evade. | Unknown | Re:Zero Prequel: Loving the Days Gone By |
| Twofold Magic | Unknown | The user casts two spells at the same time, using two different body parts as mediums. This type of magic casting is absurdly hard to pull off as it would require the caster to literally have different brains, visualising, concentrating and casting two different spells at the same time. When successfully pulled off, the caster can send forth two spells at the same time. Currently, no such examples exist in the written story of Re:Zero. | Unknown | Unspecified |
| Threefold Magic | Roswaal L Mathers | The user simultaneously casts three different spells, each through a different part of their body. While the effects may vary depending on the three spells casted, Roswaal's only example of threefold magic resulted in three fireballs of different colours to burst forth and chase their target until they connect. The fireballs were red, blue and green respectively; the red flame absorbed incoming attacks and amplified its volume, the blue flame dispersed the incoming blades of wind and the green flame transformed into a fiery snake relentlesly slithering towards its opponent. Threefold Magic is stated to be verging on the realm of god-like abilities, as casting more than one spell would require the user to have more than one brain–Threefold Magic would literally require the person to have three brains. | Unknown | Volume 15 |
| Fourfold Magic | Roswaal L Mathers | Fourfold Magic is follows the exact same principle as Threefold Magic, but with an additional fireball. | Unknown | Volume 15 |
| Fivefold Magic | Roswaal L Mathers | The user is able to cast five different spells at the same time. Fivefold Magic follows a similar principle as the aforementioned Twofold, Threefold and Fourfold Magic spells. During Arc 4's climax, Roswaal used this spell to simultaneously scorch his target with intense fire, slice it apart with destructive wind blades and pulverise it, in seconds. | Unknown | Volume 15 |
| Sixfold Magic | Roswaal L Mathers | Sixfold Magic is Roswaal L Mathers' trump card and the most powerful and destructive spell in his arsenal he developed throughout his 400 years-long life. Currently, no examples of him using Sixfold Magic can be found, however, he did use it during his half-a-day-long battle with Puck, roughly a month before the events of Arc 1. | Unknown | Re:Zero Prequel: Bond of Ice |
| Soul Transference | Roswaal L Mathers | The user can transfer their soul into a vessle by "pushing out" the body's original soul. By doing so, the user can in theory achieve immortality. The spell was originally devised by the Witch of Greed. Normally, in order for the spell to work, one must transfer their soul into a body that's related to the user by blood, however, Echidna found a way to somewhat bypass that obstacle. | Unknown | Volume 15 |
| Rewriting Magic | Roswaal L Mathers | The user can rewrite the spell's composition and disassemble the spell into mana, absorbing it through their own gate. The only condition to successfully pull off Rewriting Magic is making physical contact with the spell itself. | Unknown | Volume 15 |
| Magic Circle | Sphinx | A type of geometric magic algorithm used to perform complex spells and rituals that can be drawn on the earth or a living being. These can produce great kinds of effects such as large-scale magic that completely alters the state of a battlefield, imbuing an individual with extreme power, or even temporarily cutting off Divine Protections. However "Magic Circles" drawn on the ground once found can have their spells be disputed and the range of the effects of the magic only extent as far the circle's physical range so hiding them until activate is necessary. Since this is ancient magic very few people know about it and even fewer are capable of using it. Magic Circles were deployed frequently by demi-humans during the civil war. | Unknown | Ex Volume 2 |
