## Magic and Abilities

**Iron Dragon Slayer Magic** (鉄の滅竜魔法 *Tetsu no Metsuryū Mahō*): Gajeel was taught how to use **Iron Dragon Slayer Magic** by Metalicana, **The Iron Dragon**. As its name implies, Gajeel's particular **Dragon Slayer Magic** deals
 with the manipulation of iron. Gajeel eats iron to regain his own
strength, and his teeth and jaw muscles are powerful enough to gnaw
through solid metal with ease, even allowing him to eat the
Magic-canceling metal of the Dorma Anim. Gajeel's Magic deals with
producing multi-sized iron rods, as well as changing parts of his body
into steel. Most of his attacks involve transforming his arms into
blunt, metallic weapons, which he can do at will. Additionally, Gajeel
may turn his iron into steel if he somehow becomes able to absorb trace
amounts of carbon; said process is still toxic and harmful to his body
as it would be to others, but the addition of the natural element
changes the composition of his spells, allowing him to deal enhanced
damage and/or break through defenses that his iron could not.

* **Iron Dragon's Roar** (鉄竜の咆哮 *Tetsuryū no Hōkō*): Gajeel's exclusive, metal-based *Dragon's Roar*.

 After gathering Magic Power in his mouth, Gajeel shapes it into a
powerful tornado which he subsequently emits and sends towards his foes.
 Such tornado possesses immense force, being capable of generating
powerful explosions and inflicting heavy blunt damage, but also releases
 sharp shards of metal in the process, shredding the opponents' body.

* **Iron Dragon's Lance: Demon Logs** (鉄竜槍 鬼薪 *Tetsuryūsō: Kishin*):

 Gajeel turns his arm into a large spearhead, from which a large number
of steel spears are fired towards his target in rapid succession. In the
 anime, the attack is sometimes portrayed with Gajeel instead extending
one arm towards his target's direction, with his fingers outstretched,
and then summoning his Magic Seal in front of him, from which the spears
 are fired.

* **Iron Dragon's Scales** (鉄龍の鱗 *Tetsuryū no Uroko*):

 Gajeel covers part of his body (or the entirety of it) in steel scales,
 dramatically increasing his offensive and defensive abilities. When
punching and kicking while covered in these scales, Gajeel is capable of
 creating powerful gusts of wind through mere kinetic force. When
confronted with Natsu Dragneel's flames, the resulting clash generated a
 powerful shock wave which heavily damaged the area surrounding the two
of them. These scales are strong enough to shatter bone and rock alike,
are resilient against regular flames, and much harder than normal iron,
as shown when Pantherlily's Bustermarm Sword wasn't able to cut through
them.

* **Iron Dragon's Club** (鉄竜棍 *Tetsuryūkon*):

 Gajeel transforms his arm or leg into a large steel club, increasing
his punching and kicking power. He can also create multiple, smaller
clubs from the end of the original, hitting many enemies at once. The
clubs can be elongated at Gajeel's will, making them powerful ranged
weapons. He is also apparently capable of increasing their size
dramatically and to detach them from his body: several of these clubs,
enlarged to gargantuan size, were the main cause of the original Fairy
Tail Building's destruction. Also, for added maneuverability and to take
 opponents off-guard, the club can be rapidly turned into the similar**Iron Dragon's Sword**.

* **Iron Dragon's Sword** (鉄竜剣 *Tetsuryūken*): Gajeel transforms his arm or leg into a large, jagged steel blade, similarly to **Iron Dragon's Club**,

 but, rather than blunt power, this spell has cutting power, thereby
making it deadlier. The spikes along the blade's edge make its slashes
more painful and dangerous, and the weapon's length can be increased to
reach enemies who are far away from Gajeel. The blade is also sturdy
enough to function as a shield of sorts. In the anime, the sword also
functions as a chainsaw, effectively increasing its damage.

* **Steel Dragon's Sword** (鋼竜剣 *Kōryūken*):

 An enhanced version of Iron Dragon's Sword, only performable after
Gajeel has absorbed carbon and turned his iron body into steel. Much
like the original spell, he turns his hand into a long sword, this time
made of steel, and slashes at his target; this spell can break through
defenses that Iron Dragon's Sword cannot, such as Torafusa's hardened
skin.

* **Iron Dragon's Kunai**: Gajeel creates small, kunai-esque knives that can be thrown with pinpoint accuracy. (Unnamed)

* **Iron Dragon's Restraint**:

 Gajeel is capable of creating iron restraints to immobilize his
opponents by attaching them to surfaces. These restraints consist of a
flat part with a hole, meant to immobilize the victim's limb, and come
with some bolts, which secure the flat parts, and thus the victim, to
the chosen surface. Both the restraints and the bolts come in different
sizes. (Unnamed)

* **Iron Dragon's Foot Blade**:

 Gajeel sprouts a sharp, harpoon-like blade from the sole of each of his
 feet. By planting these blades in the ceiling, he's capable of
remaining suspended and to move around as if he were walking
normally. (Unnamed)

* **Iron Dragon's Hard Fist** (鉄竜の鋼拳 *Tetsuryū no Gō Ken*): Gajeel punches the target while covered in **Iron Dragon's Scales**, greatly enhancing his punching power.

* **Iron Dragon's Hammer**:

 Gajeel turns one or both of his hands into cylindrical iron hammers and
 beats his target with them. The spell was strong enough to send a giant
 monster flying and while enhanced with Arms, the spell had an effect,
if a minor one, on Dorma Anim. (Unnamed)

* **Dragon Slayer's Secret Art** (滅竜奥義 *Metsu Ryū Ōgi*):

* **Karma Demon: Iron God Sword** (業魔・鉄神剣 *Gōma Tetsu Jin Ken*): Seemingly one of his most, if not *the* most powerful spell in Gajeel's possession, being acknowledged as one of the **Secret Arts** attainable by the **Iron Dragon Slayer**.

 Gajeel claps his hands together above his head, creating a gigantic
iron sword. He then proceeds to swipe the sword down, destroying a
substantially large area in front of him.

* **Karma Demon: Iron Spiral** (業魔鉄螺線形 *Gōma Tetsu Rasen*):

 Seemingly his second ultimate move, Gajeel transforms his legs into a
giant drill, which rotates at high speed, heavily damaging and piercing
through whatever it strikes. He used this spell to destroy the
Dragonoid's core and to free Natsu from his imprisonment. Although it
did what it was intended to do, Gajeel stated that he still had a long
way to go, since he "planned" to destroy the whole Dragonoid, along with
 Natsu.[

**Iron Shadow Dragon Mode** (モード鉄影竜 *Mōdo Tetsueiryū*): After eating Rogue Cheney's shadows, Gajeel gained the ability to use his **Iron Dragon Slayer Magic** enhanced with shadows. Gajeel can, also, turn his body into a shadow, granting him intangibility.[217] Furthermore,
 as a shadow, Gajeel is unimpeded by things that would otherwise slow
him down, such as being in a large body of water.

* **Iron Shadow Dragon's Roar** (鉄影竜の咆哮 *Tetsueiryū no Hōkō*): Gajeel's alternate, shadow-enhanced version of his **Iron Dragon's Roar**.

 Gajeel quickly gathers and releases a large amount of iron and shadows
from his mouth, generating a very large, powerful, destructive blast
that can be seen throughout an area at least the size of Crocus.

* **Iron Shadow Dragon's Club**: Gajeel attacks his target with a shadow-cloaked **Iron Dragon's Club**. The damage dealt is increased by the addition of the swirling shadows. (Unnamed)

**Master Hand to Hand Combatant**: In battle, aside from his **Iron Dragon Slayer Magic**,
 Gajeel is known for extensively employing unarmed combat, and to
possess great proficiency in doing so. His style is a brutal one;
consisting of powerful, direct moves such as devastating punches and
headbutts, complemented by his high physical ability, with his strength
making his blows highly damaging, and his speed allowing him to land
them in extremely fast succession. When employed alongside his **Iron Dragon's Scales**,
 his unarmed blows become far deadlier. During his battle with
Pantherlily, he was shown able to engage in midair confrontations,
reaching the flying Exceed with a leap and then bombarding him with a
barrage of punches, and his clash with Rogue Cheney during the Grand
Magic Games proved him able to block and even counter-attack assaults
from behind without the need to turn his back.

**Enhanced Durability**: Even without his **Dragon Slayer** abilities,
 Gajeel has consistently proven himself to be a very resilient man: when
 he was confronted by Shadow Gear after joining Fairy Tail, he was able
to shrug off the combined attacks from Jet and Droy without retaliation
and only resorted to covering his body in his metal scales to protect
Levy from Laxus. Also, during his battle with Laxus, he took an attack
which would have, otherwise, killed Natsu and remained conscious. During
 his time in Edolas, Gajeel used his metal scales to fight
Faust's mechanical Dragon, where he took extremely powerful hits and
continued to fight.

**Enhanced Strength**:
 Gajeel has shown, on different occasions to be quite strong: during his
 time under Jose Porla, while he was tormenting the captured Lucy
Heartfilia, Gajeel casually headbutted a fellow Phantom Lord member with
 enough force to crack the stone floor the man crashed upon. His
physical might is enough for him to clash with Natsu on even terms, to
block and shatter Pantherlily's gargantuan **Bustermarm Sword**, and
 to pin down and hold still the gigantic Dorma Anim all by himself,
allowing Natsu to finish it off. He's also capable of performing very
high leaps, as shown from him reaching Pantherlily, who was floating in
midair because of his **Aera**,
 from the ground, which was located several meters below him.
Furthermore, he was capable of delivering several powerful blows
to Rogue Cheney while blocking his Shadow Dragon Slayer
Magic bare-handed.

**Enhanced Smell**: Gajeel has an incredible sense of smell, which he shares with other **Dragon Slayers**.
 He uses this for tracking purposes as apparently, nothing can escape
his nose, best seen when he tracked down Lucy, who had escaped from
Jose's imprisonment. It is also heavily implied that Gajeel used this
skill to track down Levy, who ran away from him during the S-Class
Trials out of frustration.[

**Enhanced Speed**:
 Gajeel's overall speed and reflexes are impressive, enough for him to
intercept attacks like Laxus' Lightning Bolts and reach Levy in time to
save her from an ambush consisting of two Grimoire Heart Mages.
