Formalcraft is a method to do Magecrafts using Mana instead of Od. A caster makes contact with mysteries through processes established in ancient times such as sacrificing a chicken, or praying in a magic circle all night. Since Magical Energy comes from somewhere other than the caster, and they only need to perform the ritual(s), it is popular among Magi who lack power because of weak bloodlines. Knowledge is a strong requirement.

Another Formalcraft allows for the conversion of Elements. A positive Magecraft. One of its users, Ayaka Sajyou called it "thaumaturgy for dummies." Elsa Saijou is good at it with Wind Element.
