   Keys: Beatrice · Secondary: Magic

   This are important concepts and definitions from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni setting and Beatrice' powers and abilities in particular: Personal World - while the biological body may, in terms of complexity of content, be compared to the cosmological arrangement of the universe, the spiritual-mental totality that forms the individual personality may also be termed a world, to which will belong distinctive traits, character traits, images of the perceived environment, degree of understanding of being, and related supernatural concepts, if any. Endless Witch - the status of a powerful witch who, by summoning the true essence of the sinister secret associated with infinite possibilities, gained the power of unlimited creation.

   the Golden Witch - The status of a witch who possesses the power of awareness and realization, which is in addition to the abilities of the Endless Witch.

   Devil King - the status of one who lords over even the highest demons like a monarch.

   Witch of the Land - The status of a witch confined to a certain Territory in the Sea of Fragments, causing one to have to sit on the shore waiting for interesting stories to dock there.

   Witch of the Past - status of the witch, whose powers are linked to the phenomena of the past and their influence on the future.

   Certification - The ability to recognize for lower beings their naming and supernatural attainments. Even the status of a person or higher being can be determined on behalf of a superior entity.

   Guardian - guardian, which is a being who guarantees the statuses of others with his name. The guardian has the right to revoke his recognition, depriving the target of all the powers and privileges he has received.

   Form - the basic elements of the appearance of the spiritual body associated with a particular personality. Being vessels, they are capable of containing power by themselves. One being can have several of its own appearances contradicting each other, the transition between which, however, will not be as difficult and costly (the simplest of the basic forms is maintained by default) as a free transformation.

   Golden Butterflies - an alternate form of Beatrice. Attempting to attack the witch's body will only temporarily disperse the manifested body into flocks of golden butterflies, which will do as much damage to the true essence as throwing stones at the moon's reflection on the water would do to the moon. Moreover, all the magic used, both by Beatrice herself and by the inhabitants of her world, manifests with a similar effect.

   Golden Heart - the embodiment of infinity, where there is nothing but zero, making the very concept of possibilities impossible to apply. A witch cannot be completely destroyed as long as her heart exists, even if it goes against her will.

   Wide range of skills - distinctive features of individual personalities, resulting from the operation of the psychological mechanism that ensures the diversity of individuals in the world. Personal knowledge, life experience, all the skills, abilities and talents developed on the basis of innate or acquired qualities, whether combat or communicative, are also preserved at the spiritual level, becoming an integral part of the personal world.

   Cute - Beatrice has the appearance of a young sweet girl, which she can use to her advantage, although she does so less often due to the divergence from the mainstream image. A Girl in trouble - ability to evoke pity, sympathy and desire to help others, even opponents, by showing them herself in the image of an unfortunate humiliated victim with a weeping face. Considering that Beatrice really does find herself in such situations from time to time, she plays it masterfully, and with sincerity.

   Provocation - methods of moral pressure on opponents, used to achieve a certain emotional response on his part, thus being another form of manipulation. Beatrice is capable of both mild provocations and the complete destruction of the victim, for example, bringing it to the state of uncomplaining furniture. The cynical witch is ready to resort to any means, completely disregarding any norms of morality and ethics, but she does not do it for her own amusement.

   Sarcasm - Beatrice's cynical speeches are filled with the highest degree of irony and sarcasm towards anything and everything, especially the feelings, dreams and hopes of others. Disturbing look - a set of creepy looks and grimaces of varying degrees of madness, capable of really shocking and frightening, and not so much by their appearance, but by the witch's ability to apply them quite unexpectedly.

   Evil smile - a set of devilish grins that make it hard not to look away.

   Abnormal laughter - a hideous inhuman laughter that did not bode well for those around him.

   Male puppeteering - The ability to get others to sing to your tune in one way or another. Depending on the goal and situation, encouragement, intimidation, blackmail, bribery, promises, and playing on feelings can be used.

   Falsification - skills that allow you to tamper with events and interpret facts in such a way that your opponent follows a false trail, while believing that he or she, on the contrary, has figured out the clever trick.

   Detective skills - Beatrice has a phenomenal talent and an impressive amount of knowledge, somehow related to the topics of mysteries, riddles and crimes, which has clearly contributed to the development of all sorts of skills peculiar to detectives.

   The Art of reading the Mind - The skills to read the psychology, intentions, and behavior patterns of others without difficulty, identifying preferences, desires, and intentions.

   Analytical talent - the ability to quickly assess a certain situation, easily generating theories based on known facts, quickly advancing to the truth through deductive inferences.

   Crime planning - backed by a broad knowledge of mysteries, detective talents can be used in a reversible way, that is, to plan crimes in such a way as to minimize the possibility of detection. It is for your madcap mysteries that Beatrice has become famous even among far more powerful witches. Murders in closed rooms are her calling card.

   Assassination technique - skills that allow them to take the lives of victims in a variety of sophisticated ways, both directly, i.e. by their own hand, and indirectly, i.e. by organizing special circumstances.

   Master fencer - Beatrice is an excellent fencer with her graceful blade.

   Acting ability - skills that allow her to play this or that role, hiding her true feelings and intentions well enough to deceive others. The very image of a cruel witch is essentially created by her artificially, in many ways being the diametric opposite of her true personality. In her human past, Beatrice played several roles at once, whose feelings and desires eventually literally began to contradict each other.

   Strong-willed - Despite her full awareness of the limitations of her human capabilities, Beatrice's unwavering determination allowed her to attempt to escape the clutches of inevitability, to expand her possibilities infinitely, and to bet on a miracle bordering on hopelessness. This absolute will even earned her the respect of Lambdadelta, who granted the unfortunate child the status of witch.

   Inhuman and non-witch potential - Despite her human body of flesh and blood, unnoticed by herself, Beatrice achieved a spiritual development corresponding to a being of a higher order, for whom it is no longer possible to perceive the world as only one possibility. Moreover, her evolution never stopped, and it was more stable than that of the strongest representatives of the higher world, although no less dangerous. Eventually, after becoming a true witch, Beatrice progressed even further, reaching an even higher Domain. However, she is unable to even realize this, and remains unable to leave her Territory, even though she has already spiritually taken the first step into the next hierarchy, at the peak of which is Featherine Augustus Aurora herself, who has returned from the highest Land of God.

   Figure - dependent controlled beings, like chess pieces with life and soul only on the game board. They are bound to their owner's inner world, having been originally created in it or added to it from the outside.

   Existential control - The very conceptual existence of figures depends entirely on the will of their possessor, for whom they are only imaginary objects.

   State management - The ability to kill and resurrect pieces on the inner game board as much as you want.

   Characteristics regulation - The ability to change the stories, roles, abilities, and personality traits of the figures.

   Creation - The ability to create figures from scratch or using existing images of creatures and phenomena as vessels. It is easy to produce any number of soulless objects, but creating a creature with a full personality requires considerable effort.

   Addition - the ability to add other creatures to your world, for example, by means of a contract. In this way, figures can be shared by several deities at once, which only strengthens their existence.

   Existence condition - figures are conceptual beings to some extent, and therefore the very fact of their being may require specific conditions to be met, such as the need for a unique vessel or precise characterization data. Nevertheless, in the end it simply comes down to subconscious recognition on the part of the host. It is an absolute necessity without which the figure's existence is impossible, even if its owner himself wants it to be.

   Proportion - The power and value of figures is proportional to the power of their owner, for whom they are only tools. For example, if the owner is an ordinary person who does not possess full-fledged summoning magic, then any use of servants in real combat is out of the question, because in this case they will be nothing more than fictional characters.

   Endless Magic - A unique magic system at the Endless Witch's disposal. It allows you to control values from 1 to ∞, thus giving you the ability to infinitely create and duplicate creatures (including yourself) and other objects. While the wielder of Miracle Magic always knows what values will roll when playing dice, the wielder of Endless Magic does not allow the dice to leave his hands. A limitation of this system is the impossibility of creating anything from nothingness, but the possibility of reversion to nothingness is assumed.

   Golden Magic - A unique magic system at the Golden Witch's disposal. It allows for supernatural creations, such as gold and jewels, to become real. Among other things, it strengthens all weak forms of magic and is a great addition to Endless Magic.

   A witch's fortitude - a level of magical resistance roughly comparable to that of mythical gods. It has been noted that witches, unlike vampires, do not die from a single stake, and this includes the ability to withstand high-end conceptual attacks, while ignoring, for example, reality manipulation, the power of which is enough to influence the entire Shinra Bansho.

   Transcendental velocity - a level of speed that allows you to ignore the concept of distance, relative to your own Layer and tier of being. The appropriate response is attached.

   Physical Manifestation - powerful enough spiritual beings can become visible and tangible by expending a considerable amount of supernatural powers. They can even practically incarnate on the physical plane, disguising themselves as humans, inserting themselves into the causality of the real world, while retaining the ability to leave it again.

   Multilayered barrier - The ability to create particularly strong defensive barriers that can block even strong conceptual attacks. Beatrice' Wall consists of 72 layers, while having offensive and anti-magic functions.

   Endless Realization - the ability to practically arbitrarily translate one's thoughts into reality, which is derived from the fusion of Endless and Golden Magic.

   Scenario control - the ability to change the universe at will, rewriting the history of the world.

   Dead souls control - The ability to send the souls of the dead to the afterlife of their choice or, conversely, to return them from there to be used for their own purposes. Form reminder - the ability to return objects to their lost normal state. Broken objects can be returned to their original form, and altered events can be returned to normal. Even the cycle of life and death is under control.

   Embodied existence - the status of personification of a certain concept based on certain structural elements and rules, on the integrity of which directly depends such a being, whose natural attribute will be the supernatural forces associated with the embodied concept.

   Formation structure - distinguishes a number of stages of formation of conceptual being, which can be considered as its constituent parts:

   1. Phenomena - The most basic part, representing something that happens naturally.
   2. Concept - The mystical part, which is a spreadable story that interprets the phenomenon in a supernatural way, personifying its cause.
   3. Environment - a necessary part, which is the very area in which the personified phenomenon takes place. This area becomes one with the being that embodies the created concept. This area can be shifted or expanded. The very interaction with the rules draws one into the conceptual story, creating a connection that can extend beyond the created environment.
   4. Manifistation - The final part, which is the spiritual being itself, formed from information and rules. Being one with the environment, it will, on the one hand, find it difficult to leave it, but on the other hand, it will have maximum power while inside it.

   Legend of the Golden Witch - a concept spread on the small island of Rokkenjima. It automatically attributed any strange occurrences to the witch Beatrice, whose image later hid the truth about the mass murders that had taken place on the island. Horror story - A set of elements that form the image of a witch on the basis of various rumors, speculations and scary stories spread among the inhabitants of the island. Legend of the Evil Spirits - stories that once upon a time the island belonged to evil spirits that fed on human souls. It was mixed with scary stories, made up to prevent children from going into the forest, and the name Beatriche, which the island's owner used to shout at night.

   Occult Tastes and Mystery Woman - exaggerated speculation about Ushiromiya Kinzo's mystical pursuits, mixed with rumors of his long-vanished one true love. From here came talk of a witch who had once given much gold to the owner of Rokkenjima. Epitaph - an encrypted message under a portrait that can lead the solver to hidden gold that is believed to belong to the witch Beatrice. If the mystery is solved, the witch will give up all riches and plans for murder.

   Game Board Rules - the principles of making up fake stories about the events on the island, hiding real murder plans behind them. The people who were interested in this further began to create theories and fake stories themselves, expanding the mystery more and more, although almost none of them really understood the Golden Witch.

   1. Ｘ - different accomplice each time. All adults have financial problems and will be easy to bribe.
   2. Ｙ - a lie that everyone agrees can be passed off as true. In a locked room situation, anything will do.
   3. Ｚ-somebody stop me!

   Revival - personification will disappear when its concept is destroyed, for example, when it is forgotten or debunked, but there can be re-creation and even rebirth of the same entity (the soul will return in a new incarnation) if the work of the rules is restored.

   Conceptual armament - A type of mystical artifact whose nature embodies some concepts and whose abilities act like absolute laws, taking precedence even over mythical deities, whose powers are already more effective in direct combat than manipulating reality on the scale of Shinra Bansho.

   Golden longsword - A graceful shining blade that is an extremely powerful conceptual weapon. An effective means of fighting against equal opponents. Golden smoke pipe - An alternative form of sword used outside of combat as a smoking device.

   The Smoke of the Seven Colors - The magic smog emitted by the pipe can create a veil and teleport those caught in it. In addition, this smoke, like butterflies, can be used for other magical effects.

   the Truth - a concept used in logic games that are usually played at the High Pole, although it is not a necessary venue. These are statements voiced by colored words that are a means of arguing about, for example, detective questions or the possibility of the existence of the supernatural. It is worth noting that colored Truths are relative, meaning that they can contradict each other in different games, worlds, and Layers of existence. Freely exercisable rights - not all sentient beings can use all types of Truth, it requires specific powers due to personal status.

   The Blue Truth - statements voiced by the blue color, which allow to interpret a certain situation in different ways, based on the impossibility of the opponent to prove the absolute truth of his version. The Blue Truth has a similar nature to the Blue Key, which creates uncertainty and causes self-denial.

   Range of possibilities - the Blue Truth is inferior to the Red Truth in strength, but allows you to throw any number of contradictory statements at the same time, based on the infinity of potential interpretations that exist prior to refutation.

   The Red Truth - statements voiced in red that require no proof and become absolute truth. The Red Truth has a similar nature to the Red Key, ignoring any contradictory concepts.

   The only possibility - all potentialities contradicting the Red Truth will be erased, and cannot be voiced by the blue. You have to actually know the truth to use it, and the statement can still be interpreted differently. It is the only way to confirm events that happened without an observer. Attempting to use the Red Truth that does not match the truth will result in strangulation of the self. Supernatural beings should use caution when using this power, for it can literally cut pieces off from the realm of uncertainty where those exist.

   The Golden Truth - Statements voiced in the Gold are a special kind of truth that is intended for the Game Owner, but can also be used by others if they understand the game. The Golden Truth can be superior to the Red Truth, meaning it can ignore even absolute truths when used as the ultimate weapon. It has been compared to the confluence of "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" and "Ten Little Niggers": works that changed the very laws of the detective genre.

   Transmitting the Truth - the ability to allow others to use individual colored Truth on their own behalf without transferring the right of free use to them.

   The truth shown - While shaping objects from the Truth is a standard ability of its users, controlling the shapes, sizes, and movement of the structures created is a skill-dependent, adjustable process that requires experience and a good understanding of the mystery genre.

   Wedge - created spear-like blades of varying size and power (from small blades to massive stalagmites) used in both melee and ranged combat. These are the most common type of weapon formed from the Truth.

   The barrier of the locked room - using the Truth to simulate a situation that allows you to play a murder dispute game with your opponent in a closed room with specified conditions. In this case, the room around (existing or specially created) is securely locked with impenetrable conceptual barriers, which are broken by the solution to the riddle voiced by the colored Truth.

   Pole: The Side Tossed by Fate - the lower of the two global opposites between which the entire Universe is enclosed. Its distinctive feature is that everything that happens here is initially dictated by higher forces. The poles are divided into large blocks, called domains, containing hierarchies of existential layers, where beings, structures and phenomena of different levels are also present.

   The Human Domain - the lowest of all known Domains, being the basic one on the Side that follows destiny. In all its corners and on all its stages, despite any internal differences, a number of common fundamental specific principles are believed to apply. This domain encompasses infinite layers.

   The Night Domain - another, non-human world, encompassing the supernatural realm, where otherworldly beings, spiritual structures and paranormal phenomena belong. It is difficult to call the Night Domain a full-fledged realm, since it does not possess its own hierarchy of Layers, but shares it with the Human Domain, existing synchronously with it, like the flip side of a coin, although this may be due to the specificity of the lower Pole, in which inner spiritual evolution advances perpendicularly to the existential ladder of worlds.

   Mount Purgatory - an afterlife belonging to Beatrice, where the souls of dead sinners are purified before going to a better place. At the center of this dimension is a huge mountain divided into seven levels, successively dividing the foot and the top. The role of a guide through this world can be played by the mistress herself or by Virgilia. It is worth noting that Beatrice's territory in the higher world is also called Purgatory, which symbolizes the middle position between Paradise and Hell.

   1. First Circle - a place where the sin of pride is purified, under the direction of Lucifer. The sinners here carry huge stones on their backs.
   2. Second Circle - the place where the sin of envy is purified, under the leadership of Leviathan. Sinners here are forced to wander around with their eyes sewn shut.
   3. Third Circle - the place where the sin of wrath is purged, which is under the direction of Satan. Sinners pray here in an impenetrable smoke.
   4. Fourth Circle - a place where the sin of sloth is purified, under the direction of Belphegor. Sinners here are forced to run continuously.
   5. Fifth Circle - The place where the sin of covetousness is purified, under the direction of Mammon. Sinners here lie motionless with their faces to the ground.
   6. Sixth Circle - a place where the sin of gluttony is purified, under the direction of Beelzebub. Sinners here are forced to starve by looking at food.
   7. Seventh Circle - The place where the sin of lust is purged, under the direction of Asmodeus. Sinners here are tormented in the flames.

   Spiritual Being - the status of a representative of the Night Domain, a supernatural being without material form and its weaknesses, and thus superior to humans. Nevertheless, since this level is not yet beyond the Side that follows destiny, the beings belonging to it still retain their dependence on the material world and its inhabitants.

   Pole: The Side that creates Fate - The highest of the two global opposites between which the whole of the Universe lies. Its distinctive feature is that the absolute freedom that opens up here makes it impossible to simply go with the flow. Even the Peak of all things pales before the cruelty and coldness of the Domains of the higher Pole, in which there is no salvation.

   Higher Being - status of a representative of the higher Pole, who has a full-fledged incarnation in it due to personal evolution or external support. Since such a being by definition has no material body, his abilities are a further development of the abilities of a ghost, while the area of observation begins to extend to the worlds of the lower Layers.

   Territory - is the area of habitat available to the higher being, limited both in the width of scattered possibilities and in the depth of existential Layers. Thus, the Territory defines the limits of the cat box in which a particular entity of non-existence is able to create its manifestations. It is impossible to leave such an area simply by going beyond its boundaries, because from the inside the Territory is closed to itself. It is possible to get out of it only with the help of external beings or by achieving significant internal evolution, the possibility of which, again, is complicated by the very fact of limited depth.

   The Witch Domain - the lowest of the Domains of the Higher Pole. We can say that the beings belonging to it are in the middle of the Universe, between God and men.

   Seagulls (Umineko) - The world of the personal Territory of the witch Beatrice, based on the small island of Rokkenjima, which is duplicated on several Layers of the Higher Domain at once, along with the surrounding sea and starry sky.

   The Witches' Smoking Room - one of the higher worlds of Beatrice's Territory, having several stages of the Witch Domain beneath it. The base is a strange room that was not on the island in its original version. It is from here that witches usually prefer to watch their games from the outside.

   Cathedral of the Witches - one of the highest worlds of the Beatrice Territory, probably standing above the smoking room. The base is a giant ceremonial hall with no entrances or exits.

   Golden Land - the world of the highest layer of Beatrice's territory.

   City of Books - an extremely high Layer world, perhaps inaccessible to the owners of their own local Territories. It looks like a magnificent capital city whose skyscrapers are titanic bookshelves containing the world-histories of the lower levels. Due to the size and illogical, even from its own perspective, geometry of the city, its visitor runs the risk of getting lost.

   Avatars - other selves of higher beings, independently living in different worlds of lower Layers, can be used as directly controlled figures or even their own incarnations, allowing them to live their lives in this or that game, conforming to its rules. It is assumed that the inhabitants of the World of the Gods would have no trouble gaining the skills, abilities, and experience of one or another of their inferior versions. To use an avatar requires access to the Fragment in which it resides, so not all of the infinite variety of their own inferior versions are at the disposal of ordinary Meta-world beings.

   Game Master - A status that allows you to create, conduct, and regulate the games of higher beings, exercising extended power over the histories of lower Layer fragments.

   Game Board - game space, broadly denoting the entire Territory under the control of the game owner in the higher world, which existence is directly dependent on him.

   Game - An owner-created Fragment containing a playable story situation within a specific space and time frame. Higher beings are expected to use their avatars, or simply figures from the lower world, to succeed according to the rules, which necessarily imply victory conditions for each party involved. The wielder must fully understand his game.

   Logic Error - A discrepancy in the structure of the game, leading the board itself to collapse and the owner to mental and spiritual confinement until he figures out how to eliminate the contradiction without breaking the rules.

   Territory Expansion - The rules of the game, with the intervention of external forces, can be extended beyond its original Territory, even into the higher Layers of reality. The world itself also expands, adding new areas or separate versions of them.

   Drawing Stories - the ability to create and manipulate the lower Fragments, treating them as a record that can be tweaked. While even ordinary humans are capable of something similar in regards to lower Layer worlds, in this case it is a fully controlled process with actually getting the embodied concept of the world into their own hands. This allows powerful beings to customize the game software in the Fragments they create, making them suitable for their own amusement.

   Playing records - the ability to restart recordings of previous games, allowing you to look at what is happening from the other side to understand the logic of your opponent.

   Managing the flow of history - the ability to control the flow of events in the Fragments below. The flow of history can be stopped or rewound, even if it is a lower world from a higher Pole, to which the lower concepts of time and fate do not apply, regardless of their order.

   Combining worlds - The ability to create worlds by connecting different Fragments while maintaining conflicting story elements, even docking different areas of space and time periods together.

   Ascension of figures - the ability to give beings from the stories incarnations in the higher world. It's worth noting that independent survival there requires outside support or adaptation, without which the spirit of the newfound deity will simply be lost.

   Introduction of rules - Whether it be the number of games, order of moves, thinking time, rights, powers, permissions or prohibitions, the owner is able to control all processes of his board and the game played on it through the ability to impose conceptually binding rules that apply to participants and guests.

   Detective authority - the conceptual power granted, allowing even an ordinary person without special abilities to inspect the crime scene without hindrance, noticing all possible clues, and enabling the examination to be carried out with one hundred percent accuracy. Spectator Authority - A conceptual power that allows you to travel to a higher world with the person you shook hands with. There, the target can be questioned about everything they know, as well as seeing it firsthand. Giving someone this power requires Senate approval, at least if the owner of the game is not a Senator.

   Fetters - The ability to block a higher being from being in a certain area, literally chaining it in place with cold steel chains that, among other things, prevent the body from even finally dying or sleeping.

   Exile - The ability to ban outside creatures from the game board, even if they have more power than the owner.

   Feudal lord - middle status among witches, belonging to beings who are absolute lords of their own Territories in the higher Domain. Such a controlled domain is another manifestation of a personal world, of which complete existential dependence follows. Games are usually played within such Territories. The weather in them is determined by the mood of the inhabitants.

   Stable values - Having clear limitations of the Layers on which the Territory is located, Feudal lords have a much firmer existential position than superior Voyagers. If similarities of some parts of reality are visualized in the controlled area, then even ordinary people ascended there will be able to live there, not caring much about the impact of waves of external nothingness and oblivion.

   Interworld transportation - The ability to instantly move yourself and others between worlds and Layers in the available Territory.

   Rokkenjima - A ten-kilometer island that is the base of Beatrice and Battler's Territory on all its Layers. In reality, all of its inhabitants are dead, but in the higher Domain they continue to exist forever, and no matter how limited this life beyond the land of death may be, they are all willing to fight fiercely to the last to protect their little world.
