Magic in the world of Shadow Vale is a litte different then the normal ways of the world.

Here magic world differently if at all. First off, those who have the affinity for magic must
have special permission from the council to use their magic within the main city resting
in the center of the vale. Second in order to cast the magic that they are either gifted
with, or granted throuh birth they have to have been granted by that same council a
device that cancelts out the area natural magic dampener. The below bit of information
is but one of the many ways people amonst the vale cast their magic, but is not limited
to that aspects. be is Mana, Magic Points, Spells Per Day or which ever aspect of cost
magic is magic and it is governed by the responcible.

Magic Mechanics
All people are born with "magical energy", but one must have the aptitude to use it. Not all
people have the aptitude for any type of magic other than Null, which is a special case.
An example in both the manga and the anime: Eli and Rin are twins, but Rin is able to use water
magic where Eli has no aptitude for the aforementioned.

The aptitude for certain element can be discovered by using small shards of magic stones (spell
stones) of different colors, each element having a different color stone. If a person chants a
spell while holding a magic stone, and the magic stone reacts, then the person has an aptitude
for that element (excluding Null, which everyone has).

Aptitudes also have intensity. The more intense one's aptitude is, the more powerful his/her
spells are. This was shown when Linze, an adept wizard caused a trickle of water to fall from
the stone while Touya, a novice wizard caused a small geyser to erupt with the very same spell
that Linze used.

To test for one's aptitude, one must say "Come forth, element".

To use a null spell, one must simply say the spell.

Below are the different elements one can control:

Stone Color Element

Red Fire
If an aptitude is present, a blast of fire will erupt from the stone. It is unknown how the user's
aptitude intensity affects the stone. So far, only fire can be generated from this stone.

Orange Earth
If an aptitude is present, a miniature avalanche of sand will fall from the stone. It is unknown
how the user's aptitude intensity affects the stone. So far, only sand can be generated from this
stone.

Yellow Light
If an aptitude is present, the stone will glow. It is unknown how the user's aptitude intensity
affects the stone. Light is viewed as something "holy", meaning it can heal and purify. This was
first shown when Touya healed Leim. Purification spells have a great advantage against undead
enemies.

Green Wind
If an aptitude is present, a wind tunnel will erupt from the stone. It is unknown how the user's
aptitude intensity affects the stone. Anything related to storms can be generated from this stone.
This includes lightning.

Blue Water
If an aptitude is present, a blast of water will erupt from the stone. The more intense the user's
aptitude is, the more powerful the user's blast of water. Water and ice can both be generated
from this stone. It is unknown if steam can be generated from this stone too.

Violet Darkness
If an aptitude is present, a cloud of darkness will form around the stone. It is unknown how the
user's aptitude intensity affects the stone. Summoning spells are included in this element.

White Null
Null magic is a personal magic, meaning that it is extremely rare for two people to use the same
spell under the Null magic category (Touya and the Fairy Clan being the exceptions). Null magic
involves any spell that isn't related to the elements mentioned above.

An example: Gate, which allows the user to create portals. Touya can use any Null magic spell,
and the Fairy Clan can use roughly four or five Null magic spells.

The amount of aptitudes one has varies per person, but the more aptitudes one has, the rarer
his/her magic capability is. This means that it is extremely rare to have three aptitudes, as
stated by Linze, while it is more common to have two aptitudes, and it is the most common to
have one aptitude. The exception is Mochizuki Touya, who is the only person capable of
handling all seven stones.

A person with more than one aptitude can have an affinity for an element over the other. For
example, Linze is better at using fire than at light although her affinity for water is unknown.

The magic capacity of the user can make the spells more powerfull or weak, this was explained
when Touya used for the first time the Null spell Gravity, the original user was only able to make
things a little more heavy while Touya is able to increase the weight to various tons.

Summoning
The summoning in the world of 'In Another World With My Smartphone' works based on
contracts.

For make a contract the user need to do the following steps:

Magic Circle, in order for summon a being the user need to draw a magic circle and infuse his
magical energy, this circle other than summon the being for make a contract work as barrier that
prevent the summoned being from assault the summoner or go rampaging in the area

Pact, the summoner will talk with the summoned being with the latter that will say what want for
make the contract (example, a wolf will ask to be filled of food or a demon will ask human
sacrifices), if the summoner fulfill the request it will be possible procede to the next step but if
the summoner fail then the summoned being will retire and will never respond to another "call"

Name, if the request is fulfilled the summoner will give to the summoned beast a name and this
will conclude the contract
Till now the summoning magic seems connected only to the darkness attribute but this fact don't
prevent the chance of summoning divine beasts or holy being

Aside from the steps, the summoner needs to have enough magical energy to sustain the
presence of the summoned being, otherwise the being will disappear; the more powerful is the
being, more magical energy will be required to sustain it.

A summoned being can be removed from the field if the summoner dies or is in a state that can't
sustain the summoned being.

Spells Mechanics
Spells are what magic users chant in order to use the magic they are capable of.

Most spells seen follow a certain pattern. In this chart, the spell is in a left-to-right pattern,
meaning that the spell starts with the calling and ends with the name:

"Come forth fire, hail red stone: Ignis Fire!"
