The Witch Queen told Asta and his friends a bit about the history of the elves
in Black Clover Episode 65. She stated that the elves possessed great magical
abilities and were so strong that many of them were her equal in terms of
magical strength (and she is very prideful; for her to admit that says a lot.)

What is really baffling me thou is when she stated that the leader of the
elves was the former wielder of the Anti-Magic weapons that Asta currently
uses, which subsequently blew Asta's mind and mine too!

**How is it possible if people with Magic can't wield them?** We know that the
only reason that Asta can use those swords is because he was born without
magic and hence the sword does not weaken him. However, the leader of the
elves possessed strong magical powers and yet he could still wield the Anti
magic weapons. Even the Wizard King admitted that only people without Magic
could wield those weapons. Are there any exceptional rules to how the Anti
magic weapons work?

How could someone with Magic wield the Anti-magic weapons?


it would normally be impossible unless:

  1. the wielder ran out of mana.
  2. the wielder has a huge amount of mana.
  3. the wilder concentrates all of there mana away from the sword.

Maybe they could use magic that levitates swords but the "levitation/gravity
magic" doesn't "physically contact" the swords, or at least it drains the mana
slower.

From recent manga all of this has been answered.

Three swords already have the ability we see today with the exception of anti
magic. That is the Demon slayer sword already had the ability to cut and
deflect magic when Licht was the owner of this grimoire. (This is why Licht
was able to cut the storm in which Tetia the princess was stuck.) Similarly
the Demon dweller sword already had the power to absorb surrounding people and
the owner magic spells and release it as flying slash and to glow after it has
absorbed certain amount of magic and the Demon destroyer sword other than able
to cut magic and spells. It also already had the ability to absorb and remove
the effect of spells.

So anyone with magic would have been able to wield them. This is why they were
present in a four leaf grimoire because of its tremendous strength and also
before this grimoire became five leaf grimoire these swords were shiny. It is
after the grimoire became a five leaf grimoire and housed a demon that they
became dark and shady and were able to absorb anti magic from the grimoire in
which the demon resides.
