• Supernatural Authority
• The Power of Authority

Capabilities

User has the power of authority; a power that grants them the right to rule, enforce orders, and establish laws within their dominion, even extending to the supernatural realm. This authority bestows upon them total control over their designated domain including supernatural elements, such as mystical forces, living entities, mythical creatures, and otherworldly dimensions that shape their environment.

Their commands hold an irresistible influence, incapable of being disobeyed by those subject to their dominion. This authority is often guided by the user's intent, willpower, and understanding of the supernatural, allowing them to exercise control over these forces for various purposes, whether benevolent or malevolent.

Furthermore, users of this power have the ability to delegate limited authority to their subjects based on a hierarchical structure. This allows them to share a portion of their supernatural rule with individuals of their choosing, empowering them to exert control within specified limits. By bestowing fragments of their authority, the user can establish a network of agents or representatives who act as extensions of their will and ensure the continued enforcement of their decrees.
