Holy Magic

* Skill

**Holy Magic** (神聖魔法, *shinsei mahō*?) is a form of Spirit Magic that draws its power from the forces of faith.

## Principles

* Holy Magic, grounded in unwavering faith, places importance on one's belief in miracles. Departing from conventional magical practices, it removes the necessity of accumulating Magicules or relying on innate magical aptitude. Instead, it necessitates preparation, calling for only knowledge and sufficient time for incantations, allowing the casting of potent spells at a minimal personal cost. This form of magic is exclusive to individuals connected with a higher power, relying on their faith to access a fraction of the entity's power. The effectiveness of Holy Magic directly corresponds to the depth of one's faith and devotion, seamlessly translating into power. Through prayer, practitioners channel their will, transcending Space-Time limitations to resonate with their 'God,' thereby harnessing ''Holy'' power. This entire system is collectively referred to as the **Ultimate Secret of Faith and Grace** (信仰と恩寵の秘奥 shinkō to onchō no hiō).

## Usage

Categorized into two distinct groups, Holy Magic is differentiated by the nature of the employed power. The main category, bearing the "Holy" attribute, is predominantly utilized for purifying magicules. In contrast, the secondary category excels in directly manipulating Spiritual Particles devoid of any attributes alignment, they boy span a diverse range of applications from healing magic to the most potent anti-personnel spells.

### Main Category

Derived from the “Holy” Attribute, this powers serve a dual purpose—purifying magicules and healing wounds. This form of Holy Magic, commonly utilized, exhibits limited offensive capabilities especially against humans but transforms into highly potent forces when deployed against monsters, particularly the undead.

* **Holy Cannon** (霊子聖砲(ホーリーカノン), *hōrī kanon*?): When unleashed, it projects spheres of highly condensed Holy Energy. Upon making contact, these spheres disassemble and purifies magicules, rendering them nonexistent. It distinguishes itself primarily by its offensive nature, which is rare among holy spells
* **Healing** (体力回復(ヒーリング), *hīringu*?): Healing Magic that restores the targets stamina and lost blood.
* **Holy Bell (聖なる福音**(ホーリーベル), *hōrī beru*?): A wave of holy energy surges outwards from the user in all directions, purifying a large amount of magicules and destroying monsters while the sound of a bell sings their requiem. This magic is traditionally used to purify Undead and curses.
* **Prison Field** (四方印封魔結界(プリズンフィールド), *purizun fīrudo*?): Barrier Magic that keeps monsters from escaping while filling the area with holy energy. This greatly weakens most magical beings and even upper level Majin will find themselves in a much tougher fight because of it.
* **Holy Field** (聖浄化結界(ホーリーフィールド), *hōrī fīrudo*?): Barrier Magic that works under the same principle as Prison Field but ramped up the the max. Usually maintained by several high level practitioners working in tandem, within the radius of the barrier purification of all magicules commences. This outright kills any weaker monsters and those that manage to survive will find themselves greatly weakened and unable to use Elemental Magic and Magic derived skills.

### Divine Miracles

Miracle Level or Divine Miracles (神の奇跡 kami no kiseki?) harnessing Spiritual Particles directly, devoid of any specific affinity, requires significant faith from the practitioner. This power enables the casting of significantly more potent healing and offensive spells, proving fatal to all beings.

* **High Heal** (上位回復(ハイ・ヒール), *hai hīru*?): Healing Magic that restores a persons stamina and restores lost blood but on a much greater level compared to "Healing". It can also be used over a wide area for the healing large amounts of people or large areas of plantlife.
* **Holy Ray** (霊子閃光波(ホーリーレイ), *hōrīrei*?): A spell devised by Rimuru. The user fires rays of volatile spiritual particles from their finger tips. The power is adjustable and its lack of holy energy makes it safe to use even for monsters.
* **Resurrection** (死者蘇生(リザレクション), *rizarekushon*?): Healing Magic that completely heals the target and can even bring them back from death if their soul is still present.
* **Disintegration** (霊子崩壊(ディスインテグレーション), *disuintegurēshon*?): Strongest spell to practitioners, In a process similar to nuclear decay, spiritual particles bombard a target we a pillar of light made of Spiritual particles and destroy them all the way down to the soul from existence.

### Other(s)

* Death Blessing
* **Divine Barrier** (神聖屏障(ディバインバリア), *Dibainbaria*?)

## Trivia

* Commonly linked with the Western Holy Church, Holy Magic is widely believed to be inaccessible to monsters. The revelation that monsters can wield this magic shocks those who witness it, especially considering the "God" Luminous is a Demon Lord.
* Demon Lord Luminous Valentine can instantly produce large-scale magic due to the number of her followers, as an increase in followers directly augments the force she can wield in return.
* In Luminism being able to use "Miracles" is required to advance to the rank of Bishop.
