::: Terms :::

In order to understand my explanations in the information section you may need to get familiar with a couple Slayers related terms. So I have listed them and tried to explain as best as I can.

novel :: Novels refer to the original Slayers stories by Hajime Kanzaka. Novels are different from manga in the fact that they are more story with a few illustrations every given number of pages.

manga :: Manga is basically a comic. There were 2 Slayers manga, first a 6 issue manga with art by Rui Araizumi then a 6 volume manga by Shoko Yoshinaka.

anime :: Referring to animated versions of shows. (some people would call it "japanimation", but I wouldn't o.o)

Seiyuu :: Voice actor/actress.

mazoku :: Demon. Some subtitling companies have translated mazoku as "monster" but I always use mazoku or demon. There is a large powerful race of mazokus in Slayers and Lina is often fighting powerful mazoku.

Hikari No Ken/Sword Of Light/Gorn Nova :: All names of Gourry's sword.

Talisman :: Magical items, I basically only use this term to describe the gems that Xelloss had and gave to Lina.

Claire Bible :: Something which is suppose to have infinite knowledge. At first Lina and the others look for just copies of the Claire Bible which are most often found in books and papers, but the actual Claire Bible is like this little glowing ball of light. Someone can connect to the Claire Bible and ask it whatever they need to know. (it's very useful to have knowledge and can make you more powerful in some cases) That's how Lina found out the true nature of the Lord of Nightmares.
