She is also one of the main characters in Natsume Akatsuki's original novel, original light novel, manga adaptation and anime adaptation series, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!.
Megumin is an archwizard and can use many different kinds of incantations and high level spells. It is also shown that her burst output display is higher than any other mages for the most. When her mana capacity is depleted, she falls on the ground, unable to move due to using too much. When leveling up, she mostly spends her extra skills points on Explosion enhancement passives and high-speed incantations.

Throughout most of the series (light novel, manga and anime), Megumin has been using her high level spell, Explosion, as her most notable spell of all. Despite her being an archwizard, she can only use this spell of her's only once per day because of her mana capacity. She also says that if she doesn't use her Explosion spell once a day, she will "die".
It has been shown that she mostly uses Explosion to resolve most problems. Due to her reliance on her Explosion spell, she has been known as the "Explosion Maniac". This spell of her's, despite being the only one she uses for most of the time, is powerful enough to destroy a medium-sized area and is also quite deadly and powerful due to her high burst output display, even managing to destroy most of the castle she used it on.
However, as a "side-effect" of using this spell, she will fall on the ground, apparently weakened, after using this spell.
