The spirits ARE the magic. You're treating it like Lucy just summons a normal mage and thus August could copy their magic, It's not like that. The spirits use the MP of the celestial spirit mage to fight and the mage is using the key as a medium to channel her MP. August cannot copy magic that require an external Item.Spirits don't need key to use magic. August doesn't need to summon spirit to use their magic if someone summoned them.
I'm saying the same thing but the other way around. It was never mentioned that August can copy all types of caster magic. We can't just assume he can!Haha, pretty sure August smiling was part of the original Melt page.
It was stated he could copy magic, holder magic being stated as an exception doesnt mean we can go around making more exceptions. By default magic is copy-able by August, if it hasnt been stated or proven otherwise its an assumption.
You dont get what i am saying, i'm not saying August's ability is an exception, and can just automatically do all the exceptional things those other examples can do, im saying that DS magic is not an exception in the first place.
Characters have been able to copy DS without any more difficulty than it takes to copy other magics, and like August they dont follow the lacrima/seed rule, which means the lacrima/seed "rule" is not in fact a rule. There is absolutely no reason for August to have any more trouble copying DS magic than copying something like Meteor.
Fair enough on Larcade but like i said, doesnt change the fact that Neinhart not having a DS lacrima made no difference in his ability to create Serena.
But Franmalth cant actually summon spirits, which is what August cant to do, Celestial Spirit magic itself was never stated to be an exception.
Sure, he swallowed him, and used DS magic. Is swallowing Natsu really all that different from copying him? Both ways take the abilities from Natsu.
But I already showed you that they used different methods to copy magic, they are not the same as August. They were able to do stuff the august wasn't. Jellal's magic does not require a magical Item. God Serena's magic does and it's called Dragon Lacrima.
When he swallowed Natsu he also Swallowed the seed inside of him AKA the magical Item.
Cana uses cards to create effects like explosion. Even if August was unable to copy the magic directly from Cana's cards he should've been able to copy the explosion itself according to your theory. But he can't copy any magic related to magical Items.Example:
August vs Yukino. Yukino summons Libra. August cannot summon Libra, becaue he needs the key to do that and he doesn't have it.
So it's August vs Yukino + Libra. Libra uses gravity against August. She doesn't need any material to use gravity, it's just magic. August CAN copy Libra's magic.
