It is not just for projectiles. He can manipulate any events by altering their equations.

So spells are equations? I ask because apparently it just looks like equations hold a different meaning in the DxD universe than the real world.

[kusabireika]

^ if I remember that there is two type magic one is using imagination and the other is using calculation .. Err I don't know if its true

If I remember Ajuka correctly he can increase the power input that he manipulated "enemy magic" that he throw to enemy by manipulating the equation .....

Err just quick question are 4 great seraph stronger than 10 seraph I hope it's ok to ask

Demonic spells of course use demonic "energy" and imagination. Human magic are derived from demonic spells and substitutes everything with equations.

Ajuka basically does the same. He treats everything as equations. That's why he can manipulate any events.

Ajuka Beelzebub-sama is said to have an absolute technique where he can control all phenomenon with just equations and formula.
(...)
“From my point of view, all the phenomenon and abilities that occur in this World have rules and laws in them. I am able to get an answer by filling in the equations. I have liked calculations since I was a child. That’s why my demonic-powers became specialised in those areas. Look. I can do things like this.”

So is Ajuka considered as a technique type?

[kusabireika]

^ yes I think so too like sirzech who I think that is technique type also ._.

[bluestahli1]

The underworld's strongest onii-chan and nikola tesla are both technique types, why are the strong ones always like this?

Because apparently, just nuking stuff is for chumps.

It does make sense though. Sometimes you really need precision and care. When the Gremory's start rating games the biggest growth they experience will probably in technique. Nuke the person not the area.

[bluestahli1]

Can't they just Nuke the whole area of the enemy team for the lulz?

[Biohazardous]

I'm sure they will when it won't cause them to lose. Why waste time when they can nuke win and go home to chase each other around the house. Jokes aside that will not always be an option due to certain rules and power of opponent.

[bluestahli1]

Unless one of them is both a Technique and Power type and well verse in teleportation.

Sirzechs Power spreads with out his command in his true form doesn't seem very Technique typey. Poor Rias is inferior to her brother and Nephew in almost every way. Has Dragonic power ever been giving a name and shouldn't issei have it know that he has a dragon body?

B-butt... Rias has a more unique feature that her brother or her nephew doesn't...BREAST LASER!

uhm quick question what magic did grayfia specilize in ^^? I hope it's ok to ask and lastly who is Lilitifa I never remember that character on ln before is he/she on short story ?

[azeem40]

I don't think it was revealed what she specialized in.

[LowCholesterol]

finally i'm back here (institutional economy, teaching planning and macroeconomic lecture broke my brain)

so, i'm just reading the volume 18 and i have a little question
did Fafnir have wings? in this volume was described that he's flying. but in the past volume he's described as a dragon without wings.

which one is the right?

[S.Freedom]

Ok I've been wondering this for awhile now. But what kind of bonus do the cards in the brave saint system provide? More generally, do they indicate a persons power/abilities like the evil pieces do?

The reason I ask is that I'm having a bit of a problem figuring out the authors intent of using playing cards and implying they gain different powers based on games like poker or 21 blackjack.

If so than the Ace card is usually the most powerful card as it trumps the king in poker while being variable based on a players situation in blackjack. Meaning if a player is dealt a Jack and Ace the ace would equal 11 and thereby give said player 21. Where as if the player has two 9's and is dealt an ace it would equal 1 to give them 19 instead of 28.

[darkofficer]

if they are in a poker set they get a power up

[S.Freedom]

So the card used doesn't mean anything by it's self?

Meaning that someone who is the jack of clubs isn't necessarily stronger or more skilled than someone who's the 8 of clubs?

[Biohazardous]

I would think it would have a little more power and have more power from bonuses if used in a set. They have people of varying power just like the other factions.
