Macht

==Summary==
Macht is a demon from "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", and the primary antagonist of the El Dorado arc.
He is the sole survivor and the strongest of the Seven Sages of Destruction who served the Demon King. Sealed for a long time in the Golden Land he created, by the great barrier managed by the Continental Magic Association. He wields a virtually undefendable and unbreakable 'curse' magic (Di Agölze) that turns everything into gold.
Though a demon, Macht is not fond of fighting. Despite his aversion to combat, he demonstrated formidable fighting prowess, capable of instantly wiping out groups of elite mages, including first-class ones. Notably, he once defeated Frieren 600 years ago. Even the current Frieren acknowledges his overwhelming strength. His life took a turn after meeting a priest from a village he destroyed, sparking a desire to understand humanity, especially the emotions of 'malice' and 'guilt.' This led him to a paradoxical existence, slaughtering humans while yearning for coexistence.

Powers and Abilities:
 Standard Magical Abilities, Longevity, Weapon Mastery, Limited Purification (Type 3; can turn himself and his clothes back from being gold, but nothing else), Enhanced Extrasensory Perception (His mana detection is something not even Frieren could deceive easily), Enhanced Transmutation and Curse Manipulation (Di Agölze is the ultimate curse which even the goddess's magic, which can purify petrification, cannot purify), Stealth Mastery/Invisibility (Any demon could hide their existence by limiting their mana; his transmutation magic is imperceptible even to Frieren, and invisible), Limited Intangibility (Likely Immaterial, Di Agölze cannot be obstructed by defensive magic), Invulnerability (Can change himself and his clothes into gold, his gold being an indestructible material entirely different from normal gold), Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Memory Manipulation (Demons have natural resistances to mental magic), Information Analysis, and Power Mimicry (The magic of the Seven Sages of Destruction transcends intellect and reason and curses are practically impossible to understand in their principles), Limited Resistance to Transmutation (Could think and act when turned into gold, which wasn't the case for anyone else)

Range: Extended Melee Range with his sword. Tens of Kilometers with Di Agölze
Standard Equipment: His cloak, which can be transmuted into a golden sword or spear
Intelligence: Gifted. Macht exhibits a profound understanding and strategic mastery of magical arts, adeptly mastering highly advanced spells such as Soul Track—a pinnacle of offensive magic in the war era—along with sophisticated barrier magic and telekinesis. Distinguishing him further from his peers, he also demonstrates exceptional proficiency in physical combat, skillfully wielding both sword and spear, a rarity among mages
Weaknesses: It is heavily implied that he is susceptible to illusion magic, as evidenced by his admission that such an attack is his worst matchup. Di Agölze, though formidable, has its vulnerabilities. Serie, adept at countering curses, was able to reflect the magic back. Her confidence in handling such magic was further highlighted when she entrusted Mystilzla to Denken, stating she had numerous other countermeasures against curses in her repertoire. Furthermore, Frieren, after an extensive study of over 600 years and incorporating details from others' memories, mastered the ability to dispel the curse, successfully reverting the gold-transformed objects back to their original form.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Di Agölze=
*Universal Golden Transmutation Magic:Di Agölze: A curse that can transform anything in the material world into gold, Di Agölze is considered the ultimate curse. 
|-|Defensive magic=
*Defense Magic: To counter Soul Track, this defense magic was developed. Mages can create hexagones that possess great resistance against magic. However, they don't have additional defense against physical attacks, making it weak against attacks that overwhelm with sheer mass.
|-|Offensive magic=
*Human Killing Magic: Soul Track: The first piercing magic in history, developed by Qual, one of the Seven Sages of Destruction under the Demon King. It is a magic that can pierce all of mankind's defense magics but also equipment imbued with magic resistance, directly eradicating a person's body. After Qual was sealed, Soul Track was heavily studied and analyzed. Ultimately, Soul Track was incorporated into mankind's magic system to the point that today, it is simply considered as ordinary offense magic. 
|-|Magic Visualization=
*Magic Visualization: Magic as a concept is freeform and allows for anything that the user truly believes in and visualizes to be realized. So if a mage believes their magic barrier or mana itself is enough to protect them from a magic spell, then it will protect them. Mages often times lose or gain powers and abilities based on their feelings and beliefs. So if a mage has resistance to ice magic, but then suffers from a change in terrain which might help an ice magic user, they could lose that resistance in that moment, because of their waning confidence. They also momentarily gain powers in much the same way, and if they believe they can penetrate or break through something, they often times will.
