Spirit Arts

Spirit Arts (霊術 Reijutsu) are the main form of combat utilized by those who can gather Spiria.
==Overview==
Differing from Magic and Curses, Spirit Arts is a different attribute that is created by Spiria, an attribute that became developed in areas of Elentear. Magic or magical weapons cannot affect any Spirit Arts, instead only Spirit Arts can counter one another.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 70, Pages 2-11 Boosting and/or dispelling-type abilities such Enchantments have been shown to be able to intertwine and act in unison with Spiria to destroy and counter against Spirit Arts, such as Demons' Parade’s ability to morph humans into Yokai and being reverted with Enchantments that mold Spiria.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 76, Pages 9-11Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 76, Pages 15-16
==Usage==
According to Irene Belserion, Spirit Arts are a third type of fighting essence outside of Magic and Curses, given it's made from Spiria in the surroundings similar to how Ethernano is what Magic is made from. Seemingly, users are able to use items to utilise Spirit Arts, similar to Magic Items.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 78, Pages 15-17
===Spirit Power===
Spirit Power (霊力 Reiryoku) is the manifested energy that allows Mages to employ Spirit Arts, being composed of Spiria. Similar to Magic Power for Magic, one must first be able to gather Spiria into their bodies, and then after the variant levels of Spirit Power one can attain depends on the specific user as well as the level of "discipline" one puts onto their own craft, explained by Mimi.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 71, Page 7 
Spirit Arts can be seen as superior when compared to Magic and Curses, for they're virtually untouchable by either forces and capable of effecting either of them.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 72, Pages 17-18 That is unless if either practitioners also employ spirit energy into their abilities, as shown when Spirit Power can be used in conjunction with Ethernano-based attacks, noticeably boosting the potency of the attack correlated to the user’s level of Spirit Power. Subsequently, there are cases where one's Spirit Power can be massively enhanced, an example being Yoko's ability to turn humans into Yokai with her Demons' Parade.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 74, Pages 10-19 According to a Yokai transformed-Wendy Marvell, ice is useless when used against this power.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 75, Page 20
====Hand Signs====
While not an absolute rule for all Spirit Arts, certain styles require the practitioners to perform a series of hand signs, patterns and gestures to cast and activate those specific spells and techniques. Even when a spell has been conjured, the caster controls the technique by performing hand motions to direct the spells.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 71, Page 15
===Spiritual Combat===
Physical combat is one of the prominent uses of Spirit Art, casting and forming spells and techniques for offensive measures. Practitioners who train their physical forms to specialize Melee Combat and Martial Arts to be fighters can use Spirit Arts to augment their abilities, reinforcing their physical attacks with spiritual power, channeling it throughout their bodies to inflict far greater damage upon impact, even causing shockwaves emissions from a distance.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 72, Pages 5-7
===Spiritual Pressure===
Spirit Art practitioners can exert their Spirit Power from their bodies, enveloping them in an aura. Having a high enough power allows the users to exert high enough levels of pressure. This phenomenon can be used to instil a sense of intimidation to any present opponents, even to those who're known skilled fighters.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 71, Page 14 The user releases burst of energy from their bodies when reaching their maximum output, especially through one's fighting spirit.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 83, Page 3 Those who specialize in a certain elemental attribute can emit an aura of that same specific element and effect the surrounding areas, such as an ice user causing area temperature to drop and climate to snow.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 84, Pages 2-3
===Spiritual Transfer===
Certain Spirit Arts are capable of granting other individual some degree of Spirit Power even if they're not practitioners of this power, depending on the art, other conditions may effect a specific alteration onto the body like turning them into Yokais and granting the abilities of one.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 74, Pages 2-4 Mage Enchanters who've gained a grasp on Spiria particles are capable of bestowing Spirit Power onto allies, which can also augment a Mage's Magic Power.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 70, Pages 6-9
==Spirit Items==
Spirit Items are tools infused with Spirit Power. From the few that have been executed, these are so far shown primarily used to gain advantage in combat, be it for misdirectionFairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 78, Pages 15-18 or literal weapons for offensive mean, notably a caster is shown to conjure these weapons from nothing, supposedly manifested from Spiria particles.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 78, Page 18Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 79, Pages 8-9
