Magic

Sorcery (陰陽師) is the purest form of Magic and the most complicated art to master in the entirety of the BlazBlue and XBlaze series.

Due to the rarity of people able to access Sorcery, it is scarcely seen or talked about, however, three characters have demonstrated the ability to access the power of Sorcery: Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury, Celica A. Mercury and Rachel Alucard. Due to the implied difficulty of access, it is assumed that the Magic Guild does not teach the art. Like Magic, Sorcery also exists outside of the Kotowari.

A unique aspect about Sorcery is that it holds a close relation to life. Valkenhayn R. Hellsing is implied to have actually been made from Sorcery itself, hence his existence outside of the Kotowari. Celica, prior to the First War of Ars Magus, was one of extremely few people who could heal others via Sorcery.

In the English-speaking versions of the games, Sorcery is only mentioned once in an offshoot comment by Rachel during Teach Me, Miss Litchi!. It is usually referenced to as just Magic within the English-speaking versions.
