Magic

Magic is the common term referred to the magical system used in the In Another World With My Smartphone series.

Overview
The magic system of In Another World With My Smartphone is based on the affinity of the user with a certain attribute

In the story is explained that all the person is born with a certain aptitude toward certain attribute, of this fact both Anime and Light Novel use the example of the twins Elze and Linze where Linze is able to use water magic while Elze don't have any aptitude for it.

The aptitude for certain attribute can be discovered using small shards of magic stones of different colors, if the one that use them generate a reaction will mean that he/she have an aptitude: During the story it was stated that more attribute one can use more rare is, this was said by Linze when Touya showed that he can use all the attribute afferming that she can use 3 (water, fire and light) and is be able to use 3 is already something very rare.
 * Red, magic stone of fire, if aptitude for it is present it will generate fire
 * Blue, magic stone of water, if aptitude for it is present it will generate water
 * Green, magic stone of wind, if aptitude for it is present it will generate wind
 * Orange, magic stone of earth, if aptitude for it is present it will generate sand
 * Yellow, magic stone of light, if aptitude for it is present it will generate light
 * Violet, magic stone of darkness, if the aptitude for it is present it will generate darkness
 * White, magic stone of Null, if the aptitude for it is present it will shine or show some other effect

In the same explanation about the aptitude, in the light novel Linze explain that despite she can use 3 attribute she is not that skilled using light while she is skilled using fire, this hint that despite one can use more than 1 aptitude the user have some sort of affinity with the element putting in the last position the one with less affinity.

An important note to made about the Null Magic is that, contrary to the other attribute, Null Magic is called too "Personal Magic" this because is mainly composed by spells that are more personal magic than something that can be learned or taught by someone else for this reason it was said that is very difficult found 2 or more person that can use the same Null spell.

As final note about the Null attribute is need to say that normally humans are able to use only one Null spell but in the Light Novel it was explained that the member of the Fairy Clan have high compatibility with the Null attribute and so is pretty normal for them be able to use 4 or 5 Null spells.

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: 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
 * 1) 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
 * 2) 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"
 * 3) Name, if the request is fulfilled the summoner will give to the summoned beast a name and this will conclude the contract

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
Spells are used for summon the magic using magical power.

Till now most the spells follow what seems a rule in their chant that follow a specific order: In both Anime and Light Novel was said that there are different "grade" of spell this mean that probably the rule said before is not applied to all spells
 * 1) Starting part, all the spells till now are started with the words "Come forth".
 * 2) Attribute, after the first part the name of the attribute is used (example a water spell will start with "Come forth Water" while a fire spell will start with "Come forth Fire")
 * 3) Central part, the central part of the chant is a very small description of what the spell seems do or its visual aspect.
 * 4) Name, the end of the chant end always with the name of spell

In chapter 5 of the first volume of the Light Novel, Linze wanted to learn a new water spell but was difficult for her learn it because she wasn't able to understand what was the meaning of the spell.

This event showed that despite they use the spells and shout their "name", they don't real know the meaning of it for use the spell in question for an example she wanted to lern the spell "Bubble Bomb" and the full chant of the spell is "Come forth Water, Impact the surface, Bubble Bomb".

After tried various time failing always, Touya looked at the chant and after he explained to her the meaning of the words she became able to use the spell without fail.
