It would make a little more sense if they continued the theme of emptying your container of magic in order to accommodate for the new element, but they just chuck it down to "willpower" as always.

Well, the "emptying your container" thing only ever came up once. And it wasn't to use a new element, it was just so he could eat previously uneatable flames.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
And honestly, I thought THAT was stupid at the time as well.

Eating flames is unfanthomable to begin with in real life. They argued that dragon slayers were taught to be able to stomach dragon flames and thus could eat anything they want. God flame was stronger so in order to eat that you had to rebuild your container, which must be emptied or else the residual dragon flame would burn your innards.
By extention, this would apply to any other "incompatible elements" until the user is accustomed to it. The question would come down to whether any two elements would be mutually incompatible, and the time/training required to actually pull it off.
I don't think it was stupid at all. In fact, it's one of the few things in FT powerups that have a decent explanation.
I agree that the use of the word "element" in my previous post was factually erroneous.

No, I don't think it was. If the god slaying technique was stronger, the god slayers could do something to the dragons here. But for example Orga's attack did absolutely nothing to the dragon, despite looking far stronger than Natsu punching the flying dragon's back. The god slayers just would like you to think they are stronger. Not everybody can be a dragon trained dragon slayer, so those who failed to become one, invented something fancy sounding and naturally claim they are even tougher, to mask their envy.
Yeah, I'm with Kraco on the God Slayer magic. It just seems like Black Elemental Magic is inedible to Dragon Slayers, so they act like it's more powerful.
We've never seen a God Slayer be trained by a god, or use it to kill a god(although, to be fair, we still haven't seen a Dragon Slayer kill a Dragon yet).
Disagree. I think it's a stupid and deus ex machina explanation. There's no reason why using up all your power should suddenly allow you to absorb a new power.
A Dragon Slayer killing a dragon and taking it's power would make way more sense.
