Authority (権能, Kennō?) is a classification of special abilities possessed by the likes of Divine Spirits[1] and the agents of the World like True Ancestors[2][3] and Great Mother/Father class Fairies.[4]

Characteristics[]

Authorities are an ability of category unique from the likes of Codecasts, Skills, and Noble Phantasms. They are on the level of creating a World, including event shifting, time-flow manipulation, and kingdom-building, among others. While normal Skills "achieve a certain result based on some logical process or principle," Authorities "realize a result simply because the user has the right to do so."[1]

The usage of Authorities existed primarily within the Age of Gods six thousand years before the modern day. As of the Common Era, the advancement of human civilization has rendered Authorities unnecessary, rendering them a relic of the prior age. Divine Spirit Servants possess their Authorities, but the usage of their Authorities in the Common Era requires compensation in the way of strain and damage inflicted on them.[1] Those that gain full control over the Moon Cell reach a level of power that is Authority class.[1]

Authorities used by beings like True Ancestors, the "Planet's sense of touch," are classified as a "system" rather than a "skill."[2][3] The Functionalities (機能, Kinō?) of the Twelve Machine Gods are similar to Authorities and are referred to as such.

    Authority [Miracle]
    Kennou. Authorities are special abilities that fall into a different category than Codecasts, Skills, and Noble Phantasms.
    An Authority is a power that is on the level of creating a world, and includes things like altering events, time-flow manipulation, and kingdom building.
    Authorities existed in the age known as the Age of Gods, which was about 6000 years ago, but after entering the Common Era human civilization advanced to the point where Authorities were no longer needed, and so Authorities became a relic of the past.
    Normal skills achieve a certain result based on some logical process or principle, but Authorities realize a result simply because the user has the right to do so.
    A God Spirit Class Servant should naturally possess Authorities, but to use them in the modern age requires a corresponding compensation to be paid (involving strain/damage inflicted on the user).
    In CCC the one who swallowed up Moon Cell has reached a level of power that is Authority class.

    権能【奇跡】
    けんのう。コードキャスト、スキル、宝具とはカテゴリーの違う特殊能力。
    事象の変動、時間流の操作、国造り、といった、世界を創造しうるレベルの力をこう呼ぶ。
    神代と呼ばれる時代……およそ6000年以上前……に在ったが、西暦以降、人類の文明レベルが向上した事でようやくその任を解かれ、過去の時代に引退したもの。
    通常のスキルは『このような理屈でこういう事ができる』というものだが、権能は『ただ、そうする権利があるのでそうする』だけのもの。
    神霊クラスのサーヴァントなら持ち得ていて然るべきものだが、この時代にその権威を振るうにはそれなりの代償(自身の崩壊)を必要とする。

    [v] Tsukihime Material I - GLOSSARY: Event Storage, p.101

    Event Storage
    An ability of the True Ancestors, the planet's sense of touch. The conceptual and physical storage of things reared on the planet's surface. Every creature that has appeared on the face of the planet——it is something that requisitions textures.

    In terms of Divine Spirits it's an ability on the level of an Authority, but since this an Authority of the planet it is a 'system' rather than a 'skill'. The gravitational sphere that appeared at Arcueid's feet when she had become an Astral Body was of a scale great enough to store the entire planet's texture.

    事象収納
    星の触覚たる真祖の能力。星の地表で育ったモノを概念的、かつ物理的に収納する。惑星の地表に発生したあらゆる創作物———テクスチャーの没収が行われるのだ。
    神霊でいうのなら『権能』レベルの異能だが、惑星が持つ機能なのでスキルというよりシステムである。光体となったアルクの足下に現れた重力圏は地球全土のテクスチャーを収納するだけの規模を持っている。
