crowley conspiracy connoiseur i wanna confirm smth, is it true that Crowley NEVER ever used his magic??

Like without the aid of a magical item (e.g the part where he drank a transformation potion on prologue to turn into a ghost to test Grim and Yuu, thats not exactly HIS magic) I dont think he ever did?? Like even just a simple teleportation spell he never casted anything--- but he has knowledge about magic thats for sure--

but back to the question— he never ever casted a single magic in lore right??? Cuz I think its bcs his magic heavily relies on the Dark Mirror, thats why when theres an overblot hes not doing anything like fight it himself despite being the headmaster-- instead he uses the magic of students-- because he cant do anything magical without that Dark Mirror??

Or maybe his magic is really just prophetic, which is completely useless in combat/power kajsja

am gonna die if he actually used magic but i just forgot 💀💀💀

Finally, someone who addresses me by my proper title!!! 💞🤪 /j

Just like Crowley, the answer to this very good question is annoyingly complicated ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡ Because it’s YES and…No???

The thing is, in the Twisted Wonderland game, he never uses magic, so you are correct! The Dark Mirror, the Potion, the Ghost Camera, and that magic Hammer thing for the guest room: all of these are magic items that Crowley has used. Even in the Savanaclaw chapter where he teaches Ace, Deuce, and Grim about blot, he summons the three Ramshackle ghosts to battle them to create blot. He has never been in a battle in-game, which is very sus. It’s even lampshaded in the prologue, when Crowley says to catch the runaway Grim at the entrance ceremony, Leona says “why don’t you do it yourself?”

But here’s where it gets complicated: In both the manga and the novel, he DOES use magic- but on a very minor scale.

He demonstrates fire magic with the tip of one claw, saying how imagination is vital to casting magic

And in the Heartslabyul manga AND the novel when Riddle overblots, he actually casts a barrier to protect the students from the debris. (Tee hee he was lowkey kinda cool for this)

And finally, in the novel he seems to magically give Grim the magestone collar.

This inconsistency makes me weirdly grumpy lmao, because isn’t it strange how there are no rumors about the Headmage’s “strong magical power!” Or something? You’d think that the headmage of a prestigious academy would have those types of rumors surrounding him, but he doesn’t. However, I am consoled by the fact that nearly all the magic Crowley has used in outside-game stuff (minus the little fire) is all PASSIVE/DEFENSIVE magic.

Barriers, summoning items. Not the most aggressive type of magic, right? So I think you’re right that Crowley may not have strong attack-type magic, which makes sense if he’s inspired by Maleficent’s raven. Diablo supports Maleficent; he’s not the one shooting lightning at everybody! In Idia’s Night Raven Quest, Crowley is definitely the defense/support type 🤪 Perhaps he really can’t do anything with the Overblots because he can’t attack with magic well.

It’s also become a running gag that Crowley “appears” in front of people literally whenever. I don’t think it’s teleportation magic- but a transformation. He seem to turn into a raven/crow in the opening animation several times, so maybe he doesn’t even need teleportation magic? He can just turn into a tiny bird, very inconspicuous, and turn back into his human form to catch people off guard. And if he is Levan, who was the left-hand war general, he would have a significant amount of physical strength and fighting prowess. Hmmm…

Now that you mention it though, I realize NRC actually has a lot of connection with things that DONT use magic 🤔 Pomefiore with poisons and curses, Ignihyde with machines, Savanaclaw and sports, Octanivelle and intellect, and Scarabia with astrology?!? Interesting how the stars can be used for predictions 👀 I wished it was mentioned in-game tho…Anyway, Diasomnia is this one weird case where the students there are literally just good at magic 😭 SUS?!?!?

Oops this got very long ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡ Didn’t mean to use your ask to create another theory 🤣 I hope this helps, because I literally cannot think of a single instance where he uses his own magic in-game??? Which is very sus and idk if the novel and manga count for this…thanks for the ask, it was super interesting! 👀

Edit: As of Crowley’s card that dropped months after this ask was written, Crowley displays much more magic than what was written here!

the problem with male writers in general is that they are completely unable to balance the parasitic drain of male characters in fictional het relationships like even if they theoretically Dont Hate Women and are capable of having a balanced and worthwhile artistic depiction of a woman they literally cannot help but flatten any female character into a sheet of paper if she is even remotely in the sphere of romance of a male character they like

most frustrating thing about instacart from my pov as a grocery store employee is how the mindset of someone not being at work if theyre a shopper (lessens the expectations of workplace protections, part and parcel for the way these contractor companies fuck labor up) has these people coming thru, not communicating properly, not knowing how to do their jobs, causing issues for us working within the store, and acting like entitled customers when they’re our fucking coworkers at that point

Fucking Walmart I hate it here. "if you don't like what we substituted for your grocery order you can start a return" how about you give me the option to opt out instead of replacing what I ordered with stuff that's more expensive because you're hoping I won't have the energy to do a return. I won't have that energy, you replaced soup I can eat with soup I can't, I didn't have that ten dollars planned, and fuck the fuck out of you.

This evening I am making homemade chicken soup for the first time, because my cat is increasingly turning down solid foods for a yet unidentified reason.
