I've along the lines came up with the Cosmic Horror summoner. Rather than keys, the mage finds various pages for his/her Necronomicon and take be blood bounded. Unfortunately, further research dictated that Cthulhu was already overpowered elder squid that can never be controlled by man. But perhaps similar to stellar summoners. The mage can get into a contract with said God. But to gain more power is to gain more favor towards a particular Old One. 

I.E: A mage gains more favor for Ammutseba, but doing so loses power from Yomagn'tho due to a personal feud between the two.

Or better yet, don't trifle the waters from the Lovecraftian universe. Too many tentacles may turn the series from fanservice to hentai.

I think this ability is really similar to Celestial Spirit magic and might undermine it with how you have it.  All users of Celestial Spirit Magic, when summoning spirits, use keys.  If you want to make this into a form of Celestial Spirit Magic, make sure your OC is using keys for summoning.

I wouldn't have the user of the magic make pacts with gods, since Cosmic Horror gods are probably different from the gods in the Fairy Tail universe.  At this point in time, we don't really know anything about the gods in the series.  We do know that God Slayer Magic exists for the purpose of slaying gods, but that's about it. I wouldn't go through with the favour idea, either.  All Celestial Spirits seem to be equal in that they all form a pact with the user and the user uses them equally without gaining favour from one spirit or another.  Besides, when a Celestial Spirit is summoned for battle purposes, the spirit is usually the one that does the fighting, rather than the user.  So I don't see the need for a spirit to lend the user of such magic their power since the user isn't the one doing the fighting.

I don't think it would be a problem to make Celestial Spirits inspired by the creatures from the Lovecraftian universe, as long as you're not copying the exact characters and sticking them in Fairy Tail since those are characters from another copyrighted work.

Your comment about fanservice and hentai made me laugh, though :) I really hope this helped.

this question has always been in my mind : since second generation dragon slayers have lacrima... so can a first generation and second generation dragon slayer use the same element? ( both are fire dragon slayers for example )

It might be possible, but I wouldn’t do it.  Having two Dragon Slayers that use the same element (and possibly in the same way) might get a little confusing, and you would probably undermine the uniqueness and abilities of the canon Dragon Slayers’ magic.  For example, having a First-Generation Lightning Dragon Slayer would take some of the light away from Laxus.  His powers wouldn’t be as unique anymore if there’s someone else who can pretty much use the exact same magic as he does.  Besides, a First Generation Lightning Dragon Slayer would basically be using the exact same magic as Laxus, which is unique to the series.

Great question, though :)

i was thinking about an ice dragon slayer but i can't think of any good spell instead of "ice gods bellow" can you help me with good spells for an ice god slayer?

It looks like Ace answered a similar question over at the other blog: (link)

I pretty much agree with her and I’d recommend sticking to Dragon Slayer magic instead.  

I’m sure you could definitely add “Ice Dragon’s Roar” to the list of spells.  I think something involving ice or water bullets (projectile attacks) would be pretty neat. Punches and blasts involving the OC’s element would also be great! You could also consider having your OC attack with beams of their element (ice beam, water beam, etc.)

I also don’t think it would hurt to add “Ice Dragon’s Crushing Fang” and “Ice Dragon’s Wing Attack” to that list.  Since some of the Dragon Slayers in canon have these attacks in common (like the Dragon Slayer’s Roar attacks), it’s possible that your OC might be able to use these as well.  Though these two seem to be attacks that First Generation Dragon Slayers (and Rogue) use, which means they might have been taught these specific techniques by their dragon parent.

I hope this still helped you out!

Is there such a thing as "barrier magic" in the FT-verse (or something similar to it)? I want to do something involving it and an OC of mine and I'd just like to know if there are already existing references in the series itself.

I know Jutsu Shiki can be used to create barriers by surrounding an area with magic runes.  Jutsu Shiki is better for trapping people than for combat, though.

I also know that Wood Make and Ice Make can be used to create shields and walls for protection.  If you had to choose between these two, I’d suggest using Wood Make in this case since there are so many Ice Make mages in canon already. Or you could create your own Molding Magic with a different element (as long as it’s a solid element).

Well since I named my character Topaz i thought about her using topaz gems. Now I'm all types of conflicted because I want to use Needle magic or gem make but I'm having a hard time choosing.

Topaz gems would be fine.  In cases like this, I don’t feel like it would be right for me to choose your OC’s magic for you.  Both would be interesting types of magic for an OC.  Though I will say that there’s only one character in canon that uses Needle Magic right now, as opposed to several Molding Magic mages. I don’t know if this will influence your decision or not, though.

How do you feel about a new magic like Gem make magic? All it would be like using Gems to make weapons and shields much like how Ice- Make and wood-make is used.

It can work since gems are solid like ice and wood.  I’d suggest choosing one specific type of gem, maybe?

Is it alright to have an OC with Needle Magic in the Fairy Tail guild? Only one person so far uses it and they are in Raven Tail?

I don’t think it’s a problem :) I made an OC that uses Needle Magic in Fairy Tail too
