Holy magic uses the power of the gods, but the aforementioned barrier made its usage impossible for anyone inside before the death of the demon Hellmaster Phibrizzo. Shamanistic magic is focused on manipulation and alteration of the basic elements of the natural world (earth, wind, fire, water and spirit) and contains spells for both offense and convenience, such as Lei Wing, Fireball, or Elemekia Lance. White magic spells are of an obscure origin and are used for healing or protection. Black magic spells, such as the famous Dragon Slave, call directly on the powers of the demons and are capable of causing enormous damage. There are four types of magic within the Slayers universe: Black, White, Shamanistic, and Holy. Nevertheless, Shabranigdu's lieutenants remained at liberty, sealing a part of the world within a magical barrier, through which only demons could pass. Ultimately, the piece of Shabranigdu won, but Aqualord, using the last remnants of her power, sealed him into a block of magical ice within the Kataart Mountains. A millennium before the events in Slayers, one of Ruby-Eye's fragments (which was sealed in the body of Lei Magnus, a very powerful sorcerer) revived and began the Resurrection War ( 降魔戦争, Kōma-sensō, alternately "War of Demon Conquering") against one of the parts of Ceifeed, the Water Dragon King, also known as Aqualord Ragradia. However, Ceifeed was so exhausted by this that he himself sank into the Sea of Chaos, leaving behind four parts of himself in the world. As the souls are reincarnated, the individual fragments would wear down until Shabranigdu himself would be destroyed. Long ago, their war ended more or less in a stalemate, when Ceifeed was able to split Shabranigdu's existence into seven pieces in order to prevent him from coming back to life, then seal them within human souls. In the world where the Slayers takes place, Flare Dragon Ceifeed and the Ruby-Eye Shabranigdu are, respectively, the supreme god and demon. Should the monsters win, the world will be destroyed and returned to the Sea of Chaos. Should the gods win the war in a world, that world will be at peace. On each of these worlds are gods ( shinzoku, lit. For unexplained reasons, though, the Lord of Nightmares has not acted upon this desire by itself so far. An artifact known as the Claire Bible contains information about the Lord of Nightmares' task to regain its "true form", which is only attainable by destroying these worlds and returning them to the chaos (sea of darkness) that it itself is. In the Slayers universe, the ultimate being is the Lord of Nightmares, the creator of at least four parallel worlds. The anime series is considered to be one of the most popular of the 1990s. Including the spin-off series, the novels have over 20 million copies in print. Slayers inspired several spin-off novel series and has been adapted into numerous manga titles, anime television series, anime films, OVA series, role-playing video games, and other media. Using powerful magic and swordsmanship they battle overreaching wizards, demons seeking to destroy the world, and an occasional hapless gang of bandits. They follow the adventures of teenage sorceress Lina Inverse and her companions as they journey through their world. The novels have been serialized in Dragon Magazine since 1989, before being published into individual volumes. Slayers ( Japanese: スレイヤーズ, Hepburn: Sureiyāzu) is a Japanese light novel series written by Hajime Kanzaka and illustrated by Rui Araizumi.
