Large-scale Spells

These spells are complicated spells that require one to draw numerous complex magic circles and require significant amounts of mana to perform. Some of them even require the cooperation of multiple magic-users.

Also sometimes refered to as "Creation Magic" this spell allows a noble or group of nobles to use a special white powder to create full buildings or even entire parts of a city out of seemingly nothing, or remodel buildings previously created with this kind of magic. Anything - be it object or living being - that is inside the area of the spell will be vaporized and it's matter absorbed into the spell to become part of the building. The resulting building looks like it is made from Ivory and is also called "Ivory Building".

Only archduke candidates are taught this spell and only Archdukes and their family members are allowed to use it.

If only a single building is constructed, a noble with sufficient mana can do it on their own. Creating or altering multiple buildings however requires far too much mana and thus require either additional mana stored in feystones or the cooperation of multiple nobles.

It is also possible for the archduke to cast the spell directly through the duchy's foundation magic, which opviates the need for the powder.

Spoiler from Part 4 Volume 5 After being created, ivory buildings require a constant supply of mana, corresponding to the size of the building. Should they receive too little mana, they will eventually crumble to dust over time.

Reserved for only the worst kind of crimes and traitors, this spell uses a person's citizenship plate to kill the criminal through their mana. When performed the criminal first turns to stone, starting from their feet and eventually crumble to dust, denying even the chance of a burial to the offenders. Only archduke candidates are taught this spell.

The spell functions much like Waschen does on a personal level. By drawing magic circles, adding charged feystones and chanting a prayer to the Goddess of Water Flutrane the efficiency of casting this spell can be increased dramatically, allowing the spell to be used on scales far beyond it's simple counterpart. With this method Ferdinand and Rozemyne were able to cleanse the entirety of Ehrenfest's lower city in a matter of seconds, after it's remodeling to incorporate a sewer system.

Several religious ceremonies are also of a scale to affect many people or entire swathes of land.
