Non-Verbal Magic (無口頭魔術 Mu Kōtō Majutsu?, or Mental Magic) is a scarce type of Magic that takes an enormous amount of training to master. So far, only a few demons can utilize this ability, such as teachers, 13 council members, the Big 3, and prodigy students like Asmodeus.
Examples of Non-Verbal Magic[]
These spells below have been cast without chanting but through hand gestures by the demons. Some of the spells share similarities with the verbal chants, so it's safe to compare them with them.
Pyrokenesis[]
The ability to conjure and control fire. Like the spell La Fire, this magic cast by the user burns whatever it is pointing at or manipulates it into a protective barrier or even a sword. Asmodeus Alice is praised for mastering this ability despite being in the first year.
Plant Manipulation[]
The ability to control and manipulate plant life. Like the verbal spell Quan Quan, the caster can grow any form of plant life, mainly vines, to prevent opponents from making a move. The known casters for this magic are Stolas Suzy and Balam Shichiro.
Levitation[]
The ability to levitate the desired object or person, then move them to wherever the user wants. Like the spell Fractal, this magic manipulates the object/person's own gravity.
Transformation[]
The ability to change appearance or form. Like the spell Cherusil, this magic can also transform any object or person depending on the caster's imagination. Ameri performed this non-verbal spell during the Walter Park Arc while fighting a Magical Beast.
In Chapter 279, after a harsh lesson from Opera, the Abnormal Class unknowingly learned the Non-Verbal Cherisul.
Time Manipulation[]
The ability to control time, but instead of reversing or fast forwarding, the user can freeze everything in place. This gives the user an advantage during life-threatening situations to apply their tactics. Lord Sullivan is the only one who has used this technique, but other demons can possibly use this spell, like the Three Greats or Derkila.
Teleportation[]
The ability to travel from one place to the other. The user creates a portal to the desired location. The limits sometimes don't guarantee the right spot, but that's debatable. Lord Sullivan has been seen casting this spell various times, but so far, the boundary seems to have ranged issues, or he was saving up on mana.
Strength Enhancement[]
This ability increases the caster or other's strength so they'll be on an even field against an opponent. Sullivan has used this ability on Iruma's hands during the Execution Cannonball Arc so Iruma can use his own strength without magic.
Speed Enhancement[]
This ability increases the caster's speed and reflexes. The verbal version of this spell is Spered. Ameri used this spell once during her fight with a magical beast at Walter Park. So far, this spell has a time limit as Ameri only used it to evade, but that has yet to be confirmed.

Trivia[]
- In the book series "Harry Potter," wizards and witches have two similar magic skills that require mastering both verbal and non-verbal. The only difference is that the wizards in that universe require eye contact without blinking, but "Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun" requires the caster's imagination.
- It's explained that verbal and non-verbal spells can only be cast separately and never simultaneously. This is called the Ouroboros Rule.
- In myths, Ouroboros is described as a giant serpent or dragon eating its own tail (in either a circle or a figure-eight) as a representation of disorder that surrounds the orderly world. This could mean that if the demon were to do both verbal and non-verbal magic, they may harm themselves or much worse.
