Dragon Force

Dragon Force ( Doragon Fōsu) is an advanced Dragon Slayer ability.
==Description==
According to Zero, Dragon Force is the final, most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain; granting them power comparable to that which a real Dragon possesses: the power to utterly destroy everything.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 160, Page 3 When Dragon Slayers enters Dragon Force, they undergo a temporary Dragonization process, effectively turning the into a humanoid Dragon, gaining reptilian scales and traits, such as further elongated and sharper canines and scale-like patterns on their skin.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 98, Page 6
==Abilities==
Dragon Force greatly increases the damage done by standard Dragon Slayer spells, and grants the user access to more advanced, powerful attacks.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 161, Pages 13-14 It also drastically enhances the user's physical prowess, speed,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 98, Pages 6-18 and considerably boosts their Magic Power, which becomes visible, taking the appearance of a Dragon.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 98, Page 5 This can put them further at risk of eventually turning into a Dragon and going berserk unless countermeasures are ensured.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 465, Page 11 It’s even possible to use Dragon Force without undergoing any physical draconic changes with enough control.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 432, Pages 16-17 When exuded at its fullest, said Magic Power takes on a violent corporeality, likely as a result of the immense amount of Magic Power employed.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 161, Pages 10-12 When Natsu Dragneel entered this state through the use of Jellal Fernandes' Flame of Rebuke, his flames gained the ability to burn off offending Magic, even that of Zero's ultimate attack Genesis Zero.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 161, Page 9 The Dragonization effects gained when entering Dragon Force can be temporarily stopped by separating the Dragon Slayer Magic from its user with the use of a Separation Enchantment.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 48, Pages 15-19
This form has also been shown to be further empowered by combining with other Dragon Modes. Such as a duel element mode from consuming another Dragon Slayer's element, thus amplifying the user's powers even more.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 511, Pages 16-19 It's especially powerful when combined with a Dragon King Mode, further augmenting the user's destructive power.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 533, Pages 9-14
==Achieving==
*For First Generation Dragon Slayers, those who have been taught their Magic by a real Dragon, certain conditions must be met in order to enter Dragon Force: the only one known so far would be to eat substances with powerful magical properties,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 97, Pages 19-20 preferably those somehow related to the element they can control and consume; while other, unrelated substances can be eaten as well, these have been described as being similar to "poison" for the user, causing heavy after effects, such as pain on activationFairy Tail Manga: Chapter 98, Page 4 and extreme exhaustion after use.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 101, Pages 2-3 Natsu Dragneel, Gajeel Redfox and Wendy Marvell, all three of the First Generation Dragon Slayers, have entered Dragon Force, initially requiring an external catalyst to do so. This occurred on five occasions: Natsu's first was the consumption of Etherion, followed by Jellal Fernandes' Flame of RebukeFairy Tail Manga: Chapter 159, Pages 17-19 and then from Ignia's flamesFairy Tail: 100 Years Quest: Chapter 21, Page 17 while Wendy through eating air with an extremely high Ethernano concentration,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 376, Pages 21-23 and Gajeel did so through consuming Magical Barrier Particles released by Bloodman.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 487, Pages 23-26 Later, Natsu was the first First Generation Dragon Slayer to enter the state without an outside stimulus;Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 411, Pages 7-11 Wendy did so as well after one year of training. Interestingly, she lacked any sort of draconian features normally associated with Dragon Force, however, with successive uses, these features reappeared.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 471, Page 19Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 476, Page 5

*Second Generation Dragon Slayers, those who have been implanted with a Dragon Lacrima, are generally not shown entering Dragon Force, however on one occasion Laxus Dreyar appeared to enter Dragon Force when revealing his Dragon Slayer Magic.Fairy Tail (Video Game) The most notable feature of Laxus' form is scales that run across the arms, with Laxus also bulking up as transformed.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 124, Page 15

*Third Generation Dragon Slayers, those who have not only been taught by a Dragon but also have Dragon Lacrima implanted into their body, are capable of freely entering Dragon Force. However, the appearance of their Dragon Force is slightly different from the previous generations, for instead of actual scales, a scale-like design appears on their face and body.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 294, Pages 36-37 In one circumstance, Rogue's Dragon Force became exponentially more powerful when possessed by his shadowy future self, also causing the scale-like marks to cover their body even more than before.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 318, Pages 6-15

*Fifth Generation Dragon Slayers, those who have devoured Dragon flesh or cannibalism of other Dragon Slayers, are capable of freely entering Dragon Force. However, it has been stated that the use of Dragon Force is forbidden as it differs from the previous generationsFairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 46, Pages 19-20 since it hastens the drawback of using Dragon Slayer Magic, turning the user into an actual Dragon with them becoming berserk from the process.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 48, Pages 7-10 When activating their Dragon Force, their body and muscles becomes bigger and their overall appearance becomes more feral.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 47, Page 5
