Magic Physiology (Maou Gakuin no Futekigosha)

==Summary==
Within Maou Gakuin, all characters major and minor, possess magic power with majority having the ability to utilize magic which provides them with certain abilities and resistances. This blog will index these abilities and resistances they possess, explain major and minor details about different races to hopefully eliminate the need for constant repetition in character profiles.
==Terms==
*: Origin magic borrows power from an older and stronger existence. The older an existence is, the greater power it has. However, the older it is, the more uncertain its existence becomes, which makes its power difficult to control. Thus, the best way to use origin magic is to clearly know the existence of which one is borrowing power from or from an object with which they have an affinity. By its very nature of borrowing power from the origin, origin magic cannot affect the origin itself. Despite being widely known in the Mythical Age, in the Magical Age, its knowledge and use are exclusive to demon royalty. Origin magic was developed by Anos Voldigoad.
*: Holy magic is a term used by humans and gods to refer to a certain wavelength of magic. Humans mostly use it, as it possesses unique characteristics that make it very effective against demons, such as inflicting greater damage to them or sealing their power. While it is initially assumed that only humans can use holy magic, it is shown that if a demon possesses a high level of magic knowledge, they can use holy magic to a degree.Certain unique demon swordss, such as Siegsesta, the Sword of Intent, are also capable of using holy magic. Mixed-blooded demons also have an easier time adapting to using holy magic.
*: Spirit magic is a form of magic that is only usable by Spirits. Each individual spirit has a unique form of magic that they use due to their rumors and legends granting them various abilities. Unlike demons or humans, spirits actually consume a portion of their source when casting their unique magic. However, the lost source portion is easily restored if the rumors and traditions that form the spirit's existence still persist. While most spirits are limited to a handful of unique magic spells, it is shown that unique Great Spirits, such as the Treat Mother Spirit Reno, can utilize all types of spirit magic.
*: Ancient runes were the runes used in ancient times and were considered old even in the Mythical Age. Few people studied it, and those who could use it were even more scarce. Ancient runes can amplify small amounts of magic power, but every spell formula has a limit to the power it can draw. The efficiency of ancient runes in amplifying magic actually lowers the limit. Anos suspected that this is why the ancestors of the demon race abandoned ancient runes and developed the runes used in the present day.
*Order- The various laws that make up the world, or the power of the gods that keep these laws normal. There are various orders such as “time”, “creation”, and “destruction”, and the same number of gods control them.
*Source- The source is the fundamental concept of existence, and it defines all aspects of an individual. It exists beyond the body, soul, and mind, and therefore should not be confused with any of them. It exists across the present, past, and future. Only specific magic like <Bebesd> or weapons like <Venuzdonoa> can affect the source. If a person's source is destroyed, they would be erased from existence at a conceptual level.
*World- Worlds are universes with endless and endlessly stretching size. The Author's explanation also states that worlds have infinite size. It is impossible to leave a world by conventional means, like flying past the endlessly stretched space in the world. The space in a world is distorted, and therefore something that flies straight up, naturally changes direction, goes around the world, and comes out from below.
*Magic Power- The amount of magic power an individual has not only determines the amount of spells they are capable of casting, but also determines their overall power, like strength (attack potency), toughness (durability), and rarely even their speed.

==God Physiology==
==GODS==
Gods, also known as the divine race, are extremely powerful beings who control Order. There are many Orders such as Time, Creation, Destruction e.t.c and the same number of Gods to control them. Gods inherently possess magic power incomparable to most members of the other races. The Gods are bound to and embody Order and have authority over the aspect of reality their Order presides over. As such, they are able to use abilities that deals with that aspect of reality. Gods exist for the sole purpose of maintaining Order and as such are mostly Apathetic to events in the world as long as everything is within order. There are exceptions to this trait though who actively harbour emotions and care about how other denizens of the World are affected. There are mainly 3 types of Gods Namely;
*The Chief God
*Normal Gods
*Guardian Gods
These three exist in an unofficial hierarchy that is centered around their importance to the world. The hierarchy between them goes somewhat like this; Chief God> Other Gods (Creation and Destruction Gods> Heavenly Father God> Every Other God)> Guardian Gods. This hierarchy is centered around their importance to the world. Additionally, the destruction of any order would consequently destroy the world.
===OTHER GODS===
These are the main members of the divine race. They are the Gods besides the chief God and guardian Gods. A Gods death would cause the Gods order to become disturbed/altered and jeopardizes the worlds integrity hence the Gods are necessary existences in maintaining Order.
====HEAVENLY FATHER GOD====
If a God is destroyed, the Heavenly Father God, the Father of Gods who maintains the Order of Order can simply create a new God to maintain it. The Heavenly Father God is the second most important existence to the world after the Chief God and if he is destroyed the Order of Order would be disturbed and lead to the destruction of all other Orders and thus destroy the world. Like the Chief God he is independent of the World and all other Order is dependent on him.
====GODS OF CREATION AND DESTRUCTION====
The Gods of Creation and Destruction are the first Gods to exist. The World is dependent on them and they are independent of the world. They are unaffected even by the destruction of the Order of Order and in the event the world is destroyed, it can simply be created again with the Order of Creation.
