Description: Lightning Magic is a branch of Elemental Magic that utilizes electricity, but more specifically, lightning, as a form of offense and defense. Mages who possess the ability to utilize such Magic are able to generate these elements from their bodies, and manipulate them. However, unlike other types of Elemental Magic, users of Lightning Magic are also capable of utilizing lightning from a distance, such as from the ground near them, or down from the sky. This is a very powerful Elemental Magic, having many avenues for usage. It can also be imbued into Magical Lacrima crystals, as seen with the canon Laxus Dreyar's Thunder Palace spell.

Strengths:
- Lightning attacks work by electrocuting the opponents to various degrees, and there are spells that are said to be capable of completely paralyzing enemies, due to the extremely high voltage of the electricity employed in their use.
- Because of the high amounts of light produced with its use, Lightning Magic can also can also be utilized to blind opponents, albeit for a short amount of time.
- Similar to other types of Elemental Magic, Lightning Magic allows the user to transform their body into the element they control: by transforming into a lightning bolt, the user is able to avoid physical attacks, and have the added advantage of traveling around at very high speeds and damaging everyone or everything they come in contact with, much like real lightning.

Weaknesses:
- Weak against Earth Magic.
- The lightning can be easily redirected.
- This magic is more into the offensive side and has only a few spells for defense. The user mostly counter-attacks or tries to evade the enemy's spell rather that defending.
