Theory: Chao has somthing similar to Magea Erebea, and Magea erebea spreading Itself.

[~Greed~]

I was re-reading some old chapters of negima and found some similarities between the Magia Erebea spell pattern and Chaos "Code" spell pattern. In this thread Im just going to point out the similarities between the two, and the fact that ether chao attempted to copy megea erebea or chao has the complete form of magea erebea, since her spell covers her whole body, and the magea erebea spell pattern has been spreading on negis body , and will eventually cover his whole body.

Here are some pictures to show some of the similarities between the two.


notice the similarities with the symbols on the hands? Its not exactly the same , but its very similar.

Negi Also stated that Chao was channeling powerfull Magic into her body, which is similer to Magea erebea in that magea erebea forces offensive magic into the users body, giving the user Boosts in overall stats.

All these similarites between the spell patterns lead me to believe that ether chao tried to copy magea erebea, or that she has its complete form.


edited- since I was wrong about it bieng on one arm then spreading to the other. It was like that from the beginning.

Interesting theory, and there is definitely a marked similarity between Chao's unsealed form and Magia Erebea.

Expanding on that, since large pools of magic seem to be at least slightly hereditary, as we see with Negi and Konoka, there has to be some reason why Chao has to rely on Magia Erebea to actually use magic. Her bad future probably involves some sort of Cosmo Entelecheia "anti-magic" plot, that actually worked.

There's also the similarity between the transportation spells she used to get to the future and the one used to get to Magicas Mundus, which may lead into something.

it probably is based on magia erebea but i don't think it is the real deal. for one Chao has those marks as tattoos that channel spell power and Negi's swirls are just a side effect of his power up.

i don't think they are meant to be the same. it seems very likely that Chao's abilities are inspired by TYPE Moon universe's magical circuits while magia erebea being inspired by Final Fantasy 8 and it's junction system. to me it makes sense since Evangeline is partially based on Altrouge and Tsukihime was mentioned in one of the very early chapters (by Chamo?)

They aren't tatoos , all the manga said was that it was a spell pattern and that it was forcing powerfull magic into chaos body. Which would mean that its not exactly the same as magea erebea which lets the user absorb offensive magic, unless the translations were off, which could actually be a posibility. All I'm saying is that both spells are very similar.

I havn't played any of type moons, or the final fantasy games so I really can't comment on that. Ether way, I doubt that akamatsu is going to directly copy somthing from another manga/game/anime.

This could lead to something later.

I can't wait for Chao's inevitable return. I'd probably fanboy out as much as I did when Ran Fan returned in FMA. :lmao

[Watchman]

One problem with this theory, though - when Chao released her magic in her fight with Negi, she didn't use it in any way similar to Magia Erebea; rather than using Complexio to take the energy of a spell and boost her physical attributes, she just stuck to long range spells.

[Charcan]

Negi wasn't reminded of Chao when Rakan explained Magia Erebea to him so it's not the stuff only Eva and Negi have mastered (so far) but I think Negi asking who did that to her could set up something later that could be related to dark magic.

[Kairi]

I do see the similarities, I see what you did there. Chao seems to have made her own version of it, which isn't all that surprising. She is a descendant of Negi, after all, so maybe it runs through their family in the future?

Chao better return though <333

Fair enough. Its true that she didn't use a complexio, but she was channeling magic through her body the whole time the pattern was active, which is still similes to magea erebea in that magea erebea absorbs magic. I don't nessesserally think that chao has magea erebea, but rather something very similar and possibly based off of it.

I'm going to bet it was somone we allready know that put that pattern on her....actually, my bet is that it was Nagi....its just a feeling.

I don't think it runs through the family, though I agree with you that its probably based off of it.

Well the lasy thing she said was "until we meet again" or somthing like that , so Im pretty sure she'll return.....hopefully she'll give all the ala alba cassiopeia's when she does.

^That or Negi's her great-grandfather/grandpa.

What do you mean?

[squirrelnacht]

so maybe it runs through their family in the future?
Magic Erebea's an STD? Is anyone safe?

What do you mean?
A short while after returning home she went to the retirement home to visit her cranky old grandfather Negi. And then he Rakan punched her for not sending a post card back in time.

Chachamaru? Negi's screwed his magic into her already but he didn't have Magia Erebea then.
