==Summary==
Lyon Vastia is an Ice wizard who is the arch rival of Gray Fullbuster. Like Gray, Lyon trained under his master Ur. He's also Gray's senior and a user of the dynamic Ice molding magic, with molding speed that far exceeds Gray's. Introduced as an antagonist very early in the series, Lyon who at the time went by the epithet "Reitei Lyon" which roughly translates to "Sub-Zero Emperor Lyon", has since being defeated by Gray, turned good and is now a member, and the ace of the legal guild Lamia Scale as well as one of the most powerful wizards in the city of Fiore.

Stamina: Superhuman (Can fight for long periods of time despite sustaining severe injuries. Was able to stand, run and react faster than Racer when the latter attempted suicide. Was also capable of fending off thousands of monsters without being fatigued at all)
Range: Hundreds of Meters
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Gifted (Lyon is a highly intelligent fighter. Usually serious and somewhat lustful for power, he was able to figure out Racer's power by merely observing the birds' movements and come up with a counter strategy on the spot. He's also devious in battle, not hesitating to use his opponent's weaknesses against them. Lyon was also smart enough to learn a high level spell like Iced Shell at the age of only 8. He was also able to develop since a very young age to mold ice with only one hand, something Gray is still incapable of doing)
Weaknesses: Though Lyon can create moldings with one hand as opposed to the proper two hands, his one handed moldings are not perfectly stable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
Ice-Make: A form of Molding Magic that allows the user to create ice at his will and to shape it into objects. Lyon's proficiency in Ice-Make spells, after joining the Lamia Scale Guild, allowed him to quickly be selected to do S-Class jobs. Whether this indicates that he is an S-Class Mage or not is yet to be confirmed. As an Ice-Make user, Lyon is an individual resistant to cold and as such able to take damage from ice and snow-based attacks without sustaining major injury and is either completely to immune snow based attacks such as Eve Tearm's Snow Magic or is more resilient to it than other people.
*Ice-Make: Eagle: Lyon creates several eagles that fly to his enemy and strike it. As a dynamic form of ice magic, these eagles can avoid any obstacles to hit its target.
*Ice-Make: Snow Dragon: Lyon creates an ice Dragon that rushes towards its targets, and crushes them.
*Ice-Make: Ape: Lyon creates a large ape from ice. When he first employed it against Gray's Ice-Make: Ice Hammer, he created a static version of it. It was later revealed to be of the Dynamic type as well.
*Ice-Make: Snow Tiger: Lyon creates a tiger made out of ice that can rush towards, and bite its target.
*Ice-Make: Wing: Lyon is able to grow wings made from ice. He used such technique to fly over onto the Magic Bomber: Christina.
*Ice-Make: Panther: Lyon puts his palm on one side of the target, creating a panther made of ice that passes through the target and comes out from the opposite side.
*Ice-Make: Puffer Fish: Lyon creates a puffer fish made of ice and sends it towards the target, bashing it with its mass.
*Ice-Make: Mouse: Lyon creates a small, exceptionally cute mouse made of ice to function as a distraction, allowing him time to prepare more powerful spells.
*Ice-Make: Water Serpent: Lyon creates a large, spiraling serpent made of ice that freezes his intended target upon contact.
*Ice-Make: Dragonfly: Lyon creates many Dragonflies, made of ice, that quickly home in on and attack his target.
*Ice-Make: Sword: The user creates a sword made of ice for melee combat. The strength of the sword is powerful enough to combat normal swords.
*Ice-Make: Lion: Lyon's entire arm is enveloped by a thick layer of ice which manifests as the head of a lion. This strengthens his punches and increases the damage it causes to his enemies.
*Ice-Make: Shield: The user creates large pieces of ice in front of themselves, which then quickly reform into hexagonal pieces arranged in a shield-like barrier to protect everything behind it.
*Ice-Make: Diamond Cage: Lyon creates a diamond-sided sphere of ice on the enemy to destroy the target’s body. It was stated that it loses its hardness the further it is away from the Caster and eventually shatters. This ice has been proven to be unmeltable, as shown when Lyon first used it on Natsu, he couldn't melt the ice on him with the fire from his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic.
*Ice-Make: Ice Geyser: Lyon freezes the ground in front of him, creating a tower of ice spikes that impales his target.
*Ice-Make: Hedgehog: Lyon covers his body with ice spikes reminiscent of a hedgehog, to protect himself from melee attacks. This was first seen in his battle against Racer.
*Ice-Make: Clone: Lyon creates a copy of himself made out of ice. The copy is perfectly identical to him, being revealed as made of ice only after a close, careful inspection, and thus coming in useful to avoid enemy attacks.
*Ice-Make: Titan Feet: Lyon creates a huge leg out of ice and slams it onto the target, crushing the victims underfoot.
*Ice Blade: Swan's Wings: Lyon forms a plethora of bladed swan's wings which rush towards the opponent, attacking in a flurry to inflict lethal cuts.

Moon Drip: Moon Drip requires the light of the moon to act. It can deactivate every possible spell, even the "unmeltable ice" made by Ur's Iced Shell.
Ice Shell: Iced Shell is a technique that uses the spirit and the physical body of the user to freeze the target into a block of ice. It is virtually unmeltable as it is not made of just typical ice. It channels the user's body into the form of ice, destroying their body in the process. As explained by Gray, the Caster is not "dead" but alive in the form of ice. Due to this, even Ultear could not use her Lost Magic, Arc of Time, to reverse it as it was a living thing and therefore could not be reversed or advanced through time. It is shown to be extremely durable as it did not melt for about 10 years, though Ur stated it can stay the same for all eternity. It also seems that because the ice itself is made up from the spirit and body of the caster, the target is gradually worn away by the ice encasing it. The main difference between this and Ice-Make is that the hands must make an "X" sign, with the right arm above the left arm. The right palm facing down while the left palm is facing up. The user can also create a clone and have it use Iced shell. Currently, the only known method of melting the Iced Shell is with a Moon Drip, itself a lengthy, time consuming process.
