In the manga, the four types of Magic users, Fire, Water, Thunder are mentioned. All of the above ones are used in video games. Some English video games refer to Black Magic, White Magic, Demon Magic, Illusion Magic, Water, Fire and Divine as Shadow, Light, Fiend, Dreams, Aqua, Pyro and Devine respectively. In the Bandai game, the four Magic users are used as Types. In the ''OCG'' and ''TCG'', Water, Wind, Fire and Earth are used as Attributes, although Earth uses different [[wikipedia:kanji|kanji]], Thunder and Demon have Type equivalents; [[Thunder]] and [[Fiend]], while the other Magic users are classed as [[Spellcaster]]-Type.

Alignments are for the most part derived from concepts from the [[Duel Monsters (manga)|early manga ''Duel Monsters'']]. In the manga, the four Magic Users were [[Type]]s, five of the six elements were [[Attribute]]s and Divine was used to describe the [[Egyptian God]] cards. The strengths and weaknesses of the Magic Users and some of the elements were taken from the manga.
