Not many anime introduce a magic system as complex as the one thatMisfit of Demon King Academyrevolves around; the humans alone have over a thousand Holy spells in their arsenal, nevermind all the Demonic and Spiritual magic, which can be traced back to the Ancient and Mythical Ages.

As to be expected,The Demon King of Tyranny, Anos Voldigoad,has a firm grasp on most of the spellwork at his disposal, so much so that he was able to create his own sect of enchantments, the omnipotent Origin Magic, which draws power from a more potent being. This article does not discuss specific spoiler arcs that have not been featured in theMisfit of Demon Academyanime; however, some of the following spells have not been shown in the series yet.
11Lightning Magic: Golzora
The destructive power ofGolzorais put on full display by the hateful teacher, Emilia Ludwell when she fries eight young demon-hybrids to a crisp, despite their numerous defensive tactics. This assault can be on a smaller scale, whereby a melon-sized ball of potent purple energy is hurled at the foe, causing an explosive effect upon impact.
Alternatively, the spellcaster can produce a consistent wave of lightning energy with enough deadly force toput evenAvatar’sAzulato shame. The Source targetingJi Noavsand several other electrifying spells are significantly more lethal; however, they have yet to appear in the anime.
10Fire Magic: Jio Graze
While there are several flame manipulation spells at the demons' disposal,Jio Grazeis by far the most noteworthy, as it essentially harnesses a power equivalent to that of a tiny sun. In most cases, multiple cooperating spellcasters are required to evoke this potent magic, although the almighty Anos can achieve the desired effect single-handedly.

In the case of a team effort, one individual is given the authority over Jio Graze’s power and cancontrol the flames' trajectory,while a Hell Flame Annihilation Mortar is needed to fire the blast. Interestingly enough, the Demon King manages to negate this top-level spell with a mediocreGrega, attesting to his tremendous magical power level. Anos also updated Jio Graze to decrease the damage caused to the wielder, dubbing his masterpieceAviastan Jiara.
9Troop Magic: Gyze and Aske
While individualpower levels are evidently important, those with the most might are leaders of an efficient team that shares their magic, benefitting the entire group as a whole. Members underGyze’sinfluence are classified into specific roles with unique functions, including the commanding King, the Creation magic-fueled Guardian, the offensive Mage, the intellectual Shaman, the buff Cavalier, and the self-explanatory Healer and Summoner.
Similarly,Aske(also spelled Asc) gathers its strength from a group (human or demon), evoking the power of love and admiration and concentrating the positive energy to empower a chosen wielder. It benefits a single party and not everyone involved, and does not always have to be a voluntary process; although if admiration gets forcefully extracted, the subject’s soul is at risk.
8Resurrection: Indol and Ingall
Anos shows how truly sadistic Resurrection Magic can be when it is used as a punishment instead of a reward, as the pain of death is never eliminated from the equation.Indolcan be used to cause temporary loss of life, while spilling a droplet of blood before castingIngallto resurrect the target (if used in conjunction with the three-second rule), creating a blood-soaked loop of torture.

Othersignificant Necromantic magic includesAzheb(which alters genetic and physical attributes after revival), and the zombie-producingIgrum, the most effective way of utilizing a corpse after the Ingall time limit is exceeded.
7Playing God: Dino Jixes
Created by a Demon Elder Emperor, the ominous Ivis Necron,Dino Jixesessentially disrupts the natural order of things by separating a single Source into two segments, with a secondary body to house the excess power. Each individual can live out their life gathering strength and experience, before eventually fusing into one entity. In the case ofMisha and Sasha, this time gap lasts fifteen years.
In theory, the original body (and its corresponding personality) will remain intactwhile the other fades away,leaving their powers behind for the host to consume. The Necron sisters circumvent this untimely demise with Anos' assistance and find a way to form the all-new Aisha by using Dino Jixes to their advantage.
6Eternal Death: Behelius
Beheliusis like Igrum on steroids; constructing a cycle of death and revival, whilethe victim is confined to a coffin,where they will remain until their magic gets depleted and resurrection is no longer possible (ever!) This innovative spellwork uses the target’s own power supply to fuel Behelius' effects, draining them in the most merciless way possible.
One would never guess that Behelius could be used as a means of protection because, although the coffin’s death loop isn’t the most pleasant, the vessel itself is considerably robust, boasting top-tier magic barriers and anti-magic spellwork. The occupant must just be cautious of the duration of their stay, waiting for the external dangers to pass without reaching their personal power limit first.
5Secret Necron Technique: Magic Eyes of Creative Destruction
When the Necron sisters activateDino Jixeson their own accord, they put their family’s specialized Fusion Magic on full display and combine their Sources to become the all-powerful Aisha. As a result, this new warrior has access to both theDemonic Eyes of Destruction and Creation, essentially becoming a double-edged sword.
The reach of Aisha’s newfound powers is seemingly limitless. The effects of her Creation and Destructive magic are potent enough to manipulateanything imaginable, including magic weapons,and negate fierce spellwork such as Gavuel and Teo Triath (which fires Aske’s concentrated force.)
4The Human Spell: Eleonore
When Commander Jerga, King of Humans, separated his Source, two new entities (living spells) were formed; the beautifulEleonorebeing one of them (and Jerga, the other.) Fortunate enough to have received none of the tyrant’s toxic traits, Eleonore holds no contempt toward others, although she has been forced tomass-produce an army of Source clonesto assist in the demise of the demons.

Eleonore’s clones are not empty vessels but powerful beings in their own right; however, significantly lacking in the independence department and will become suicide bombers at the drop of a hat. When given a choice, Eleonore prefers to focus on defensive and healing magic and is particularly adept atDe IgeliaandEnne Igelia.
3Mind Control: Jerga
Askehas a complex range of capabilities that are affected by the spellcaster’s intent and can be heartfelt and cringe-worthy (as with the Anos Fan Union) ora convenient segue into the brainwashing business.Created by Commander Jerga, this manipulative spell is used in conjunction with Aske; however, the connection is corrupted as fear and hatred for the Deepest Darkness infiltrate the love and admiration of the original spell.
Subjects knowingly supply energy to their King and are subsequently turned into mindless puppets; even demon loyalists can become overwhelmed by the deafening voice of “reason” and subsequently take up arms against their own kind whenJergais effectively activated.
2Time Manipulation: Rivide and Revalon
Anos isa master of time manipulationand can castRivideover a vast region, freezing a whole town full of people (and more), and even stopping spells in their tracks. The Demon King can also opt to localize thisOrigin Magicto a small area or singular being, leaving everyone else untouched, and sending the target back in time to heal their wounds or restore forgotten memories.
Anos can also delve into the past by invokingRevalon, which allows him to take a trip down memory lane, but there is a limitation to the changes one can make to history, as the ripple effects could be disastrous. If the intention is to meddle with the timeline, then plan to be confronted bythe Keeper of Time!
