 * Origin Magic (起源魔法) Magic that borrows power from an older and stronger existence. The older an existence is, the greater power it has. However, the older it is, the more uncertain its existence becomes, which makes its power difficult to control. Thus the best way of using origin magic is to clearly know the existence which one is borrowing power from, or from an object which they have an affinity with. By its very nature of borrowing power from the origin, origin magic cannot affect the origin itself. Despite being widely known in the Mythical Age, in the Magical Age its knowledge and use is exclusive to Demon Royalty. Origin magic was developed by Anos Voldigoad.
 * Ancient Magic (古代魔法): Ancient magic characters were the mainstream magic characters in ancient times and were considered old even in the Mythical Age. Few people studied it and those who could use it were even more scarce. Ancient magic is highly efficient at increasing small amounts of magic power, but it cannot amplify magic power indefinitely. It reaches its limits quickly which is why the ancestors of the demon race abandoned it and developed new magic characters.
 * Holy Magic (聖なる魔法): Holy magic is a unique form of magic that is mostly used by humans, as it possesses unique characteristics that makes it very effective against demons as such as inflicting greater damage to them or sealing their power. While it is initially assumed that only humans can use holy magic, it is shown that if a demon possesses high levels of magic knowledge, they can use holy magic to a degree. Mixed-blooded demons also have an easier time adapting to using holy magic.
 * Spirit Magic (精霊魔法): Spirit magic is form of magic that is only usable by spirits. Each individual spirit has a unique form of magic that they use as a result of their rumors and legends granting them various abilities. Unlike demons or humans, spirits actually consume a portion of their source when casting their unique magic, though the lost source portion is easily restored if the rumors and traditions that form the spirit's existence still persist. While most spirits are limited to a handful of unique magic spell, it is shown that unique Great Spirits such as the Great Mother Spirit Reno, can utilize all types of spirit magic.

Source Magic
Sources are the concepts of existence of all living things. Physical attacks and most spells are unable to touch/affect the source, only certain spells can.

Creation Magic
Magic that allows the caster to create things that already exist in the world, including physical representations of memories. It can also create objects, clothing, and architecture.

Blood Magic
Blood Magic is a unique form of magic that uses blood as a medium and catalyst to cast unique spells that use the blood to take shape. Eges Code is a master user of this magic.

Curse Magic
Curse magic specializes in creating various unique curses, which can cripple and poison the enemy. However, the more one peers into the abyss magic to study curse magic, they themselves can become cursed in exchange for the ability to use more powerful curse magic.

Fusion Magic
The specialty of the Necron Family. Ivis Necron developed fusion magic for over a thousand years. The strength of fusion magic comes from the fusion of two different wavelengths of magic, which creates a powerful magic reaction that can increase the original power of the combined spells by more than tenfold. Originally, the duration of fusion magic was short due to the flaws of the basic spell formula. After witnessing the basic spell formula once, Anos improved fusion magic by incorporating origin magic into the formula by using the fusion spell itself to combine them. This increased the fusion duration by several hundredfold.

Troop Magic
Troop Magic is a form of magic that is used on armies for the purpose of strengthening the troops under the user's command or empowering the caster with the power of the subordinates under their command.

Summoning Magic
A form of magic that focuses on summoning various beings to assist the user by making pacts with them. Summoning magic is widespread in the Underground World, specifically the country of Giordal.

Magic Eyes
Magic Eyes (魔眼) allow one to see the flow of magic power and other things that the regular eye cannot see. By pouring magic into their eyes, the user can see the blood inside others or things that are far away. Magic Eyes can also see the essence of magic and its formulas, allowing those with superior Magic Eyes to learn magic more easily by observing its use. And depending on their mastery of Magic Eyes, they can see through various types of concealment magic as well.

All races possess Magic Eyes, and they can be inherited by one's offspring. However, more powerful Magic Eyes can only be manifested when one possesses an appropriate source to be able handle their power.

There are special Magic Eyes capable of unique effects depending on the user and are capable of affecting the surroundings with only one look.

Trivia

 * According to Anos, the key to using Iris is not focusing on the outward appearance of an object, but instead focusing on its inside. For example, if someone wants to create a sword, they have to think about its inner structure for it to have any durability.
 * This is summed up by a quote said by Anos in the Mythical Age, "if you want to make a stone, do not create a stone; create the atoms that form a stone."
 * According to Anos, there would be around 20 people from the Mythical Age capable of crossing Beno Ieven, though they would have to pay a considerable cost to cross it.
 * However, among them, it was stated that the Hero Kanon, the Great Spirit Reno and the Goddess of Creation Militia would have been able to cross the wall without any difficulties.
