   Keys: Bernkastel · Secondary: Magic

   This are important concepts and definitions from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni setting and Bernkastel's 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. Witch of Miracles - the status of an exceptionally powerful witch who, having escaped the nightmarish loop of logical fallacy, has been blessed with the Miracle of becoming the being who controls the phenomenon. Witch of the Fragments - status as an exceptionally powerful witch with control over the process of destiny crystallization. Witch of the Sea - The status of a powerful witch, traveling freely in search of worlds not found by those waiting on the shore. Witch of the Past - status of the witch, whose powers are linked to the phenomena of the past and their influence on the future. God of Death - the status of a deity somehow related to death in one aspect or another. It is assumed that the Gods of Death cannot lie about what concerns their activities. The reaper's desired victim risks becoming someone who is unable to accept objective reality and value his life in it. The traditional weapon of the Gods of Death is the scythe. Goddess of Fortune - the status of a deity who dispassionately controls chance. Goddess of Miracles - the status of a deity that very rarely smiles on people despite pleas. 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. The Noble Queen of Cats - The green-eyed black cat represents the true form of Bernkastel. The witch doesn't take on this appearance very often, but even her default human manifestation has a tail. The feline nature is also evident in some of Bern's abilities as well as in her character traits such as pride, fickleness, and playful cruelty. Universe - a powerful witch represents the whole vast universe from the perspective of her own level of existence. In this case we are talking not only about the form of the personal world, but also about the actual physiology of the manifested body. The astronomical objects of such a cosmos can be combined with both dependent beings and other attributes directly related to the nature of the witch. Microcosm - The embodied universe may be manifested in a compact version, for example, as a cosmic aura spreading around the body. Sea of Stars - The myriad feline hordes can seem like countless stars in space. The green-eyed kittens do not just spread out, but take on the appearance of shining paired lights, perhaps actually merging with the surrounding space or void. Green Suns - brightly glowing with an ominous greenish light, objects formed by large groups of cats. The surfaces of these eerie suns are covered with countless burning eyes.

   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 - Bernkastel has the cute appearance of an innocent child, something she can use to her advantage, though she does so far less often than in her past human life. A crying loli - the ability to evoke pity and sympathy from others by showing them your tearful, upset face. The pretext for its demonstration can be, for example, imitation of a clumsy fall. Headpat - The ability to calm and pacify others by stroking them on the head. Desu/nanodesu - words that are inserted at the end of phrases to increase the level of charm. Faito, O! - an uplifting command, urging not to lose hope, not to give up, not to lose heart, to continue the battle to the victorious end. Nya, nya - An imitation of a cat's meow used to demonstrate a playful mood. Mii - a nice meaningless word, the pronunciation of which puts people in a state of slight bewilderment, absent-mindedness and even a kind of trance. Nipaa - another nice meaningless word, spoken with absolute serenity, accompanied by a cute face. It is used to cheer someone up, to dispel anxiety, to tell them that everything is fine. The seriousness of any situation is instantly minimized when uttered. Provocations - Witch of Miracles' favorite methods of moral pressure on opponents, used to achieve a certain emotional response from him, thus being another form of manipulation. Bernkastel is capable of both mild provocation and the complete destruction of the victim, for example, driving her to suicide. She is a cynical witch, ready to resort to any means for her own amusement, completely disregarding any norms of morality and ethics. Sarcasm - Bernkastel's cynical speeches are filled with the highest degree of irony and sarcasm toward anything and everything (even herself, sometimes), 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 as by the witch's ability to instantly replace their emotionless doll face. Wicked smiles - a set of smirks more diabolical than the Devil himself, and once you see them, it's hard not to look away. Abnormal laughter - a hideous inhuman laughter that did not bode well for those around him. Denial of miracles - Bernkastel can show the victim various possibilities for her future in multiple parallel universes, lucidly explaining that a sad outcome is inevitable and there is no world where fate will turn out well. Worst of possibilities - Bernkastel can demonstrate or realize the most vile possibilities of the victim's fate, such as where betrayal, madness, passive homosexuality, or incest is present. Hopeless choice - Bernkastel can confront her assigned offender with the choice of accepting the accusation or continuing to deny it, with the second option ultimately leading to a much worse outcome. In response to the victim's unwillingness to admit his own sins, the witch will twist the truth in such a way that the person is guilty of far more than he was originally suspected of. A merely horrible crime will become horrifyingly heinous. Male Manipulation - 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. Attraction - a set of features of character, appearance, and behavior that allows one to be favorable to others. Even as a human, Bernkastel was able to easily control people and sway them to her side. It was easy for her, for example, to lead several people from the city to the mountains so that they didn't even realize how they got there. Art of conversation - the ability to present his position in a surprisingly clear, concise and lucid manner. Add to that excellent manners, wit, politeness and flattery, and it becomes clear why interpreting facts in the right light is a mediocre endeavor for Bernkastel. Detective skills - Having wandered through untold worlds over the course of her long life, Bernkastel has accumulated an enormous amount of knowledge related to the topics of mystery, riddles, and crime, which has clearly contributed to the development of all sorts of detective talents. It is suggested that the Witch of Miracles could perform in such a role at least as well as her avatar Erika, who was created to be the perfect detective. 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. Chessboard Thinking - skills that allow, based on the available data about the situation and others, to calculate the probabilities of potential events, as well as to reduce the number of possible courses of action. This is the ability to plan one's moves, reading the opponent's moves in advance, even though the opponent may have similar talents and may deliberately act in unpredictable ways, even to one's own detriment. Analytical talents - skills that allow you to quickly assess a certain situation, easily generating theories based on known facts, quickly advancing to the truth through deductive inferences and chess thinking. Observation - the detective's ability to notice every little detail and incorporate it into his theories. 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. Assassination Techniques - 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. Best suggestion on the execution concept - Bernkastel has a vast knowledge of the most spectacular and agonizing tortures and executions of East and West, but for all that, she can even come up with something new in the field. Parent cat - summoning her kittens from both outside and from her own shadow, clothing, or body, Bernkastel can utilize an extremely specific fighting style. Close attacks are accompanied by the claws and teeth of suddenly appearing predator silhouettes, while at a distance, squads of hungry and aggressive cats attack by obeying the specific orders of their cruel mother, aided by an explosive aura. Total number of kitten can be 10 quadrillions, each at least several times more powerful than beings who can hold universes in their hands. They can fly, travel through worlds and nothingness, and send and return others from it. Playing with Fragments - Bernkastel's favorite pastime, from which another unique fighting style emerged. Summoned crystals of various sizes, shapes and contents are used for ranged attacks. Variable contradiction - Bernkastel has a rather strange character, combining opposites. She can be loving and hating, calculating and frivolous, proud and humble, vengeful and forgiving, reckless and cautious, feline-like fickle and human-like stubborn at the same time. Such a personality is quite difficult to calculate, and if someone decided that he succeeded, the Witch of Miracles will certainly do something that was not expected of her. Acting ability - skills that allow her to play a particular role, hiding her true feelings and intentions well enough to cleverly deceive others. Most often Bernkastel wears the mask of an obscenely modest and cultured girl, who is completely indifferent to the surrounding passions. Her thoughts are impossible to understand because of her ability to remain calm, unruffled and cold in almost any situation, even when her personal feelings, which are the witch's weakest point, are hurt. Household skills - many useful skills for the home that have been left over from Bernkastel's human life. She is good at cooking, washing, and sewing. These skills are not much needed in a witch's life, but uses can still be found for them. For example, Bernkastel was able to sew together the dismembered body of a fellow creature that was damaged to such a level that regeneration was difficult. Strong-willed - In her human past, Bernkastel was characterized by a steely will and determination. In spite of everything, she did not give up, could endure terrible moral and physical torment, being in a time loop, not even seeing the ghostly light at the end of the tunnel. Breaking the loop, she became the Witch of Miracles, who defeated the Witch of Certainty herself, that is, the abstract being that encourages the will and ensures the universal operation of the principle by which determination and hard work determine fate and the future. Living through the centuries as a witch, Bernkastel preferred not to risk herself. She was not selfless, did not like games where she could lose, even the feeling of physical pain was forgotten to her. Nevertheless, as in her human life, the witch continues to have great sympathy for those who do not surrender to fate, but only continue to fight even harder, no matter what. Ironically, these qualities often belong to the Witch of Miracles' opponents, with whom she has a strange love-hate relationship. Piece - 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.

   Magic of Miracles - a unique magical system at the Witch of Miracles' disposal. It allows you to bring the probability of any event, even if it is infinitely tending to zero, to one hundred percent, due to which it is possible to realize any existing possibilities, whether natural, supernatural or even irrational, because everything Shinra Bansho exists thanks to a miracle. The user of this magic always knows what the dice will roll. 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. Marvelous speed - A level of speed that allows for some obscure way of catching up and even overtaking teleportation, even relative to movements that already ignore the concept of distance. 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. Vortex of concentrated time - the ability to create barriers of local time distortions, an attempt to pass through which will lead to instant aging. Big Bang - an attack projecting the phenomenon of the origin and formation of the universe in an expansive explosion from a cosmic singularity. Big Crunch - an attack projecting the phenomenon of annihilation of the universe by compressing it into a cosmic singularity. Dark spheres - attacking with large spherical blobs of darkness. 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.

   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.

   Unknown concept - some fundamental principle of the universe embodied by Lady Bernkastel. The impact of the Witch of Miracles provides all that is beyond effort and attempt, that which will not change, that which cannot be achieved. Inescapable fate - The promised God of Death, who brings the curtain down on history regardless of the will of its participants, is what Bernkastel is, a witch who knows that there are no miracles. However incalculable the possibilities of the future may be, they will not change the past and present, and a lifetime may not be enough to achieve the desired miracle, even if its possibility is not zero. And certainly fate will not change for someone who has already resigned himself to it, succumbing to grief and despair. God is cruel - the reason that the pleas for miracles directed to the deities and angels are addressed to Bernkastel, because the fact that it is she who controls miracles corresponds to certain qualities of the Creator himself. Your only friend - Bernkastel is the one who forcefully opens cat boxes, thereby fixing fate, shattering all illusions, dreams and hopes, for which she certainly cannot be forgiven, but at the same time it is these processes that define reality itself. All realized possibilities, whatever they may be, owe their existence to the Witch of Miracles, and only she will always forgive you, against all odds. Wheel of Fortune - Certainty includes everything that depends on will and effort, while miracles include what is left to chance. Simply put, these forces, representing conditional and unconditional fate, always accompany each other, being both the source of all that was, is, will be, can and could be, and the cause of what was not, is not, will not, cannot and could not be. The phenomena embodied by Bernkastel and Lambdadelta are inseparable from their concepts, and therefore need no interpretation, requiring no belief in witches as such. The Sea of Fragments is narrow - The concepts of Lambdadelta and Bernkastel are the most important in the entire World. Unbound by the quantitative and qualitative boundaries of any Territories, they operate everywhere, even if unknowingly to the witch manifestations themselves. It can be said that the Sea of Fragments is secondary to such fundamental forces, influencing even the beings of the higher Pole.

   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. God of Death scythe - A sinister black scythe of the reaper, which is an extremely powerful conceptual weapon. An effective means of fighting against equal opponents. Reap the Miracles - The scythe is capable of separating miracles, dreams and hopes from reality, which must mean a guaranteed sad end for the victim, without any possibility of a favorable outcome or even the thought of such. Internal rupture - cutting the body with a scythe causes the victims' insides to burst. This action symbolizes the deciphering of mysterious stories (potential adversaries may be their incarnations), exposing secrets and exposing the unpleasant truth.

   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. Purple Statements - statements voiced in dark purple color, similar to the Red Truth with the only difference that the criminal (the one who has such a role within the current game) can lie with it. 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.

   Mysteries - Using the rules of Beatrice's Game Board, Bernkastel can form conceptual attacks from locked room murder riddles she has learned while traveling through countless worlds. These attacks are of the same nature as the Blue Truth, however they do not simply deal damage, but kill instantly if not resolved before they reach their target. Angel Wings - By creating wide blue wings behind her back, Bernkastel is able to launch countless mystery wings from them at once, which can sequentially take different forms, increasing the overall effectiveness of a crushing assault attack. Big snakes - each of the mysteries takes the form of a stretching snake. Chasing the enemy like blue lasers, the mysteries create divinely beautiful patterns. Only classic mysteries are used at this stage. Eight-headed dragon - The snakes created in the first stage can merge into one massive one, to which seven more are then added when Bernkastel decides to utilize all the secrets of all time. The Whale of Mystery - The final attack of the mysteries, in which eight dragon heads merge together to form a ruthless all-devouring whale-like creature with a massive jaw like that created by cats. Even beings not subject to the concept of death cannot survive this attack.

   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 domans, 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 domain, 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.

   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.

   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 worlds-stories 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.

   Senator - status as a member of the most powerful group of witches in all of creation, with enormous influence on worlds-stories. In addition to their immense personal power, Senators have unprecedented privileges. Political authority - The Senate has immeasurable influence throughout the upper world, where the decrees of those in power have far more than just legal force. Even individual Senators have full power, but their powers can be overridden by the will of the entire group. Legislative power - the ability to make laws, enact rules, regulate rights, define responsibilities, and empower individuals. The power of the decisions of an organization less powerful than the Senate is equivalent to the Red Truth and can even override it, exceeding the power of individual game owners. Executive Power - Senators may engage in legal regulation, inspection and organization of subordinate structures in the field. They also have the right to temporarily perform the duties of subordinate entities. Judicial power - Senators can act as judges, determine the correctness of a position, and pass judgments and resolutions. In addition, they have a certifying function, so that contracts confirmed by them cannot be abrogated by unlawful means. Sacred boundaries - a barrier secured by the Senate to deny passage to any unwanted creature. Invitation - Senators can not only pass into the City of Books themselves, but are also able to grant this opportunity to others by granting passes.

   The Grand Court of Heaven - a powerful organization of the higher Pole, capable of dictating its will to virtually all worlds and beings. In the name of the one true God, it regulates laws, rules, and traditions everywhere, controlling the interplay of the real and the beyond, mystery and fantasy, down to such minor aspects as the miracles that occur on holidays. However, the Senate has more power, and therefore its representatives are entitled to at least limited use of the resources of the Great Court, for example, by requesting squads of angels under their command. Library Fleet - an invincible armada of at least a hundred assault ships, engaged in the selection of interesting stories for the City of Books, the titanic library of Featherina Augustus Aurora, and the opinion of the inhabitants of the worlds themselves about the change of status is not really taken into account, because everything can be solved by force. The fleet operates with the permission of the Grand Court of Heaven, so it is not a problem for the Senator to borrow it for his own needs.

   Voyager - The highest status among witches, belonging to beings total superior to the Feudal, being a tier below the almighty Creator. Stairway to the abyss - Voyagers are deprived of limitations in proportion to their desire for power and freedom, while moving up the rungs of an infinite hierarchical ladder leading to the depths where the bottom does not exist. In this case we are not talking about actual movement on the higher Layers, but about personal evolution, which determines this possibility as well. Steps on the abstract hierarchy are "efforts" that should not be neglected, because if a witch falters on the ladder, she may fall into the eternal hellish abyss. Final Destination - beyond the infinite hierarchy of both the Witch Domain and what lies beyond it is the forbidden Zero Domain, the attainment of which signifies becoming a Creator, that is, obtaining absolute omniscience and omnipotence, independent of all other hierarchies and perspectives. This is the very final point of Voyagers' journey, but they, most often, do not strive there at all, experiencing fear incomprehensible for anyone but themselves. Fundamental vision - Voyagers can assess the primal nature of beings, even the depth and potential of their inner evolution, of which they themselves may not even be aware. Walk across the Sea - Voyagers are Witches of the Sea who are able to freely cross space and time, worlds and dimensions, universes and meta-universes, realms of existence, nothingness and oblivion. An eternal journey with no final point, or an endless flight in an attempt to avoid it.

   Power of the Voyager - abilities that allow them to control creatures and history even at the High Pole, ignoring most rules and laws. More often than not, Voyagers do not use their true power to deny their opponents the chance of victory. Collecting worlds - the ability to collect favorite Fragments and take them with you. These worlds can later be, for example, given to Witches of the Shore who were unable to reach them on their own. Descent - the ability to seal higher beings in the Fragments or cast them into the darkness of eternal oblivion. Apparently, both can be accomplished simultaneously. Re-creation - The ability to return form to higher beings who have perished in the Sea of Nothingness, e.g. due to loss of self-determination. Souls can also be returned from there.
