Acid Magic: A Caster Magic that allows Neppa to create acid; it was specifically designed in order to kill people.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 308, Page 3 This substance seems to be created from the Knight's fist, as seen when he punched the ground and sent a stream of acid spiraling towards Natsu and company, melting the area. The acid has been seen to appear from the ground in a straight line towards the user's opponent, from Neppa's fist in a spiraling motion, and also as a horizontal tornado directed towards the target.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 308, Page 10 The acid produced is extremely corrosive, to the point where it can gnaw through solid stone, and has been noted to be extremely difficult to deflect or cut, making it an ideal weapon against most opponents.
