Authority

Authority (権能) are various abilities Sin Archbishops use based off of the powers of the Witches of Sin.

Information
Authorities can be manifested within people after they have taken in Witch Genes. Currently only the Authority of Pride hasn't been revealed as the seat is vacant.

Sloth
The Authority of Sloth (怠惰の権能) was formerly used by Betelgeuse Romanee-Conti and currently used by Natsuki Subaru
 * Sloth (怠惰)
 * The user can let out a black wave toward their surroundings, corrupting the minds of those who have no knowledge of Spirit Magic. Those affected experience hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and severe pain, then expose the whites of their eyes, foam at the mouth, and are nearly driven mad.
 * Unseen Hand (見えざる手)
 * The user can cause physical interference by creating an invisible force field in the shape of a hand. The effect area, power, and number of hands is based on the user, and according to Pack the Witch of Envy was able to manifest 2000 hands at once. Subaru later renames this technique as Invisible Providence (インビジブル・プロヴィデンス), though he is only able to control one hand and its range is minimal.

Gluttony
The Authority of Gluttony (暴食の権能) is currently used by Ley Batenkaitos, Roy Alphard, and Louis Arneb.
 * Gluttony (暴食)
 * The user can eat the name and memories of their opponent. Those that have had their names eaten have their existences erased from the world, destroying any human relationships along with preventing the use of magic and negating any contracts with Spirits. Those that have their memories eaten become amnesic and any characteristics they may have had are reset, effectively making them into a different person. Those that have both their name and memories eaten simply become a shell, and although they live, they no longer eat, excrete waste, or age, putting them in suspended animation. Things such as experience, talent, and the likes and dislikes of human relationships serve as food for the user. However, if the user eats a fake name, they are plagued with severe nausea.
 * Eclipse (蝕)
 * Eclipse is considered to be the trump card of gluttony and is also implied to have two types; solar eclipse and lunar eclipse.

Greed
The Authority of Greed (強欲の権能) is currently used by Regulus Corneas. Regulus was killed by Subaru and Reinhard in act 5, and had his Bishop ability absorbed.
 * Stillness of an Object's Time (物体の時間の静止)
 * The user can stop the time of themselves or anything they're wearing, touched, or even their breath. This stops any interference from outside and only allows the user's interference outwards. This negates any attack against the user, and if the user waves their hand anything in its trajectory is cut no matter the toughness. Atmosphere released from the stillness can cause shockwaves, gravel thrown around can become unblockable shots, and it can enable the user to travel at extremely high speeds. Normally, multiple uses of this ability can be deadly as the user's own heart also stops, however it can be circumvented when combined with another of the Authority of Greed's abilities.
 * Lion's Heart (獅子の心臓) or Small King (小さな王)
 * The user merges their heart with one of the people of his kingdom, or in other words any woman that the user has confirmed to be their wife. With this, the user can use the effects of Stillness of an Object's Time as long as they wish to. As it is only a pseudo heart, even if the merge is destroyed the only aftereffect is that the user bears the burden again. Any conditions or effect area haven't been shown.

Wrath
The Authority of Wrath (憤怒の権能) is currently used by Sirius.
 * Wrath (憤怒)
 * The user can share or transmit their emotions and senses to others. After polarizing emotions such as anger or sorrow, the user can transmit it to any people in their vicinity, either taking control of them or resonating a certain emotion between a certain amount of people to raise it to the point of madness. Also, since the user can share senses such as distress or pain, if anyone dies within the effect area the user can force others within the same area to die the same way.
 * Chain Control (鎖操作) or Fire Control (炎操作)
 * The user can control the chains wrapped around their body or transform the chains into fire and control them.

Lust
The Authority of Lust (色欲の権能) is currently used by Capella Emerada Lugnica.
 * Variation and Change (変異と変貌) (unnamed)
 * The user can transform themselves or others into various things. This ability can also be used to heal by transforming damaged parts into uninjured parts, with Al mentioning that Capella was able to heal "after I cut her head off and crushed her heart", and any spare parts generated through healing dissolve on their own.
