What is Acnologia's element?


Okay so all the other dragon slayers have an obvious element to their magic.
Even with Acnologia's roar on Tenrou Island, there was no direct element to
his magic. The only thing I could think of is just that his name is "The
dragon of the apocolypse". So do we know what it is yet or not?




The dragons we have seen so far do follow a unique theme and magic which is
not necessary an "element". [This table on the
wiki](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon#Known_Dragons) sums it up pretty
nicely. Acnologia is known as "The Black Dragon". (There is also a white
dragon, Weisslogia). So the theme of Acnologia is "Black". What exactly are
the limitations of its "black" magic are haven't been shown in the
anime/manga.

However, there is a reason why Acnologia is "different" from other dragons.

history](http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Acnologia#History) and the Dragon
King Festival on the wiki (it has a decent summary) or read the manga. This is
discussed in Chapter 301 of Manga.
