Eating kinds of magic that aren't fire can temporarily give him a power boost but will make him sick in the long-run. Usually Reckless, due to which he can be caught off-guard. Damaging the book of END causes damage to him, also apparently killing his creator Zeref will also cause his death

Arsenal[]
- Igneel's Scarf: It is a scarf given to Natsu by his foster father, which he always wears to remember him by. The scarf is white, decorated with scale-like patterns, and serves as good-luck charm of sorts, warding off misfortune. When Natsu was hit by Zeref's Ankhseram Black Magic, the scarf served as his shield, but the exposure to the Magic caused it to turn black. During the time it was tainted, Wendy was unable to heal Natsu, so, in order to heal him, she had to reverse and remove the evil spell on the scarf.
Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities[]
Fire Dragon Slayer Magic: Dragon Slayer Magic lets the user penetrate a Dragon's scales which are otherwise impenetrable to any wizard. Dragon Slayers can consume their own element (whether it be in natural state or magical) to replenish their magic and they can be considered nigh-immune to it. Temperature of Natsu's flames increases depending on his emotional state, this is called the "Flame of Emotion", he even managed to "burn time" in his fight against Zeref with his flame of emotion. Natsu is very creative with his usage of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, it includes propelling himself with his flames, clinging to surfaces by solidifying his flames and propelling individual parts of his body with fire. Natsu isn't just limited to fire, he can eat/negate any heat based attacks (like Explosions) as we see with Jackal.
- Fire Dragon's Roar (Karyū no Hōkō): Natsu's signature Dragon's Roar in which he quickly gathers and releases a large quantity of flames from his mouth at his target.
- Fire Dragon's Talon (Karyū no Kagizume): Natsu ignites his feet in flames, thereby increasing the power of his kicks. The flames can also be used for jet-propulsion purposes.
- Fire Dragon's Iron Punch (Karyū no Tekken): Natsu engulfs his fists in flames and punches the target
- Fire Dragon's Wing Attack (Karyū no Yokugeki): Natsu rushes towards his target and grabs them, before subsequently setting hands ablaze, sending them flying.
- Fire Dragon's Sword Edge (Karyū no Kenkaku): Natsu lights his entire body ablaze and headbutts the target at a high speed.
- Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow (Karyū no Enchū): Natsu creates a stream of fire from his elbow, propelling him forward and increasing the strength of his punches
- Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang: With his hand lit ablaze, Natsu swipes at the target in a claw-like fashion, burning them.
- Fire Dragon's Crushing Blitz: Grabbing his enemy and supporting his arm with his other, Natsu blasts the foe at point blank range.
Secret Arts
- Flame Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist (Guren Karyūken): Natsu rapidly punches his target, with his hands lit ablaze, creating a fiery explosion after each subsequent contact
- Flame Lotus: Blazing Flashover Blade (Guren Bakuenjin): Natsu swipes his arms in a circular fashion, creating a powerful, and highly destructive, torrent of flames that barrages his target.
- Hidden Fire Form - Blaze of Fire: Phoenix Sword (Shiranuigata Guren Hōōken): Natsu ignites his entire body with fire, and then charges towards the target, sending them into the air with a sharp uppercut. Natsu then, in a similar manner to Fire Dragon's Sword Horn, headbutts his target.
Lightning Fire Dragon Mode (Mōdo Raienryū): After eating Laxus Dreyar's lightning and having the flames and lightning inside his body fuse together, Natsu gained the ability to use his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic enhanced with lightning. When in a state of anger, Natsu is able to summon forth this power, however, it leaves him heavily exhausted afterward. After unlocking his Second Origin, Natsu experiences a noticeably less amount of strain.
Lightning Dragon Flame
- Lightning Fire Dragon's Roar (Raienryū no Hōkō): Natsu's alternate, lightning-enhanced version of his Fire Dragon's Roar. Natsu gathers and combines lightning and fire in his mouth, subsequently releasing them in a large, destructive, sparking blast. This spell is capable of traveling great distances, wreaking havoc wherever it passes, as shown when it crossed half of Tenrou Island, generating a large explosion. In spite of the fact that this spell is potentially powerful enough to kill a person, a single use is enough to heavily strain Natsu's body and completely drain him of all his Magic Power.
- Lightning Fire Dragon's Iron Fist: Natsu's alternate version of his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. Natsu engulfs his hand in lightning and flame, and, in addition to being burned after being struck, his opponent's are also struck by a bolt of lightning. (Unnamed)
- Lightning Fire Dragon's Firing Hammer (Raienryū no Gekitetsu): Natsu engulfs his fist and forearm in fire and lightning and devastatingly strikes his opponent. Even with its power diffused by Minerva's defense, it was still strong enough to blow away most of the top floor of a large building.
- Lightning Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame: Natsu's alternate, more powerful version of his Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame. Natsu engulfs his left hand in lightning and his right hand in flames, and, after bringing the two together, generates a large, destructive, sparking blast around his opponent. (Unnamed)
Dragon Slayer's Secret Art Revision:
- Crimson Lotus: Exploding Lightning Blade (Guren Bakuraijin): Natsu's alternate, lighting-enhanced version of his Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade. Natsu engulfs one hand in lightning and the other in flames. By swinging his arms around, Natsu creates a highly destructive vortex of fire and lightning, which greatly damages the opponent and pushes them away with tremendous force. This spell is powerful enough to defeat the almighty Guild Master of Grimoire Heart, Hades, in a single hit.
Crimson Lotus - Exploding Lightning Blade
Fire Dragon King Mode (Mōdo Enryūō): After ten months of training to store and manipulate Igneel's remaining power bequeathed to him, Natsu is capable of using the power of the Fire Dragon King. According to Natsu himself, this mode was believed to be strong enough for him to defeat Zeref, however, its full potential depended on the remnants of Igneel's power which, upon activation, could not be recovered and used again. Even with the absence of Igneel's power, Natsu can still utilize this mode using his own power as a substitute, though it is nowhere near as powerful as before.
- Fire Dragon King's Destruction Fist (Enryūō no Hōken): Natsu first charges his fist, releasing a huge amount of fire in the process. After a brief delay, he punches his target with immense force so strong, in fact, that it shatters even the biggest of his foes to pieces.
- Fire Dragon King's Roar (Enryūō no Hōkō): An enhanced and empowered version of his Fire Dragon's Roar, that Natsu used to take down an entire battalion's worth of soldiers of the Alvarez Empire and destroyed a vast space of earth in the process.
Dragon God's Brilliant Flame (Ryūjin no Kōen): An alternate version of Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame, Natsu engulfs one hand in the flames from his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, and the other in flames from Fire God Slayer Magic, and brings the two flames together, generating a highly destructive blast that is capable of destroying a large area, and defeating Zancrow, a member of the Seven Kin of Purgatory in one hit.
Dragon God's Brilliant Flame
Dragon Force ( Doragon Fōsu): By consuming Etherion or the Flame of Rebuke Natsu has been shown to be able to enter Dragon Force. This ability is said to be the final and most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain, and it has been said that their power becomes comparable to that of a real Dragon's. Natsu is the first known First generation Dragon Slayer to enter Dragon Force without consuming external sources.
E.N.D: E.N.D aka Etherious Natsu Dragneel is stated to be the strongest of Zeref's demons and the only being capable of killing Zeref. Like every other Etherious, his killing intent towards Zeref increases greatly as E.N.D and his prime goal in this state is to murder Zeref. Natsu's power as E.N.D is noted to be exceptionally large, enough to ignore Dimaria's time stop and move in her time distorted world.
Seven Fire Dragon's Power (Shichien Ryuu no Chikara): During his fight with Acnologia within the Space Between Time, Wendy used her Enchantment to temporarily empower Natsu with the combined Magic Power of six Dragon Slayers composed of Laxus, Gajeel, Sting, Rogue, Erik and Wendy herself. The combined Magic Power takes on the appearance of a rainbow colored energy that surrounds Natsu's right arm and greatly increases the offensive power of his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist to the point of manifesting it in the form of a huge flaming fist and destructive enough to finally defeat Acnologia himself.
