Copy magic has been one of the most talked about skills for years in power fantasy anime series, but there are still two giants that stand out even among the crowd, they areNaruto’sKakashi Hatake andFairy Tail’sAugust. Although Kakashi’s skills are formidable enough, Hiro Mashima’sFairy Tailtakes the concept to new heights with its unparalleled abilities of Copy Magic.
It is much better than Kakashi’s one and redefines the whole concept of this skill. Its uniqueness makesFairy Tail’sCopy Magic the ultimate game-changer. So what exactly makes this version of Copy Magic so overpowered compared to any series?
How powerful is Copy Magic inFairy Tail?
Copy Magic is indeed one of the most powerful abilities to have in the world ofFairy Tail, wherein its wielder, August, can unleash powers that are simply incomprehensible for some. Therefore, August was able to negate even the most powerful magic spells thrown at him when he copied everything. So any battle against August is nothing but a foregone conclusion.
This sort of magic allows its user, for instance, to master complex and mighty spells at any time. From elemental magic to advanced caster techniques, Copy Magic’s reach is almost limitless, making it one of the most overpowered magic types in theFairy Tailuniverse.

August’s Copy Magic, however, goes further and beyond, as it copies and gains access to the opponent’s past thoughts, their magic, as well as gaining knowledge, all of which makes him infinitesimally better than his opponent. In fact, one of the other big advantages given to August is his ability for surveillance, which makes him even stronger.
Interestingly,even Lucy has manifested a formof Copy Magic using her Water Clone spell, whereby she can create humanoid clones from water. Although much less extensive than August’s capabilities, Lucy’s spell does prove that Copy Magic is indeed versatile enough to be used in a wide range of magical practices.
Mashima has the upper hand over Kishimoto with this one
Copy Magic ofFairy Tailcertainly does make the series more intense, where users can replicate even the most complex magical abilities. This powerful magic ability enables its wielder to turn the tide of battle in an instant, so naturally, it makes every confrontation unpredictable and thrilling.
By contrast,Naruto’scopy magic is almost crude in comparison. It is indeed powerful but, as the case is, it lacks in comparison to this other superior version found inFairy Tail. Its strength and versatility are simply unmatched.

However,Fairy Tail’sCopy Magic has also its limits. For example, copies can only be sustained for five minutes and a user can only copy two individuals at a time. Also, Copy Magic is specific to Caster Magic, and because of its very nature, which is substance-less, it cannot copy Holder Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic. This depth adds to the power system inFairy Tail, balancing the scale between the abilities and their applications.
Fairy Tailis available to stream onCrunchyroll.
