A Rule is the in-universe term for the supernatural or otherworldly powers one has. The term likely comes from its ability to enact a person’s 'rule' onto reality to overwrite the normal laws of nature, similar to how a king can enact his rule upon his people. In exchange for that power however, a Rule must be accompanied by a [[Role]]. A Role can alter the way a Rule outputs its own power, changing it to whatever suits the Role best. While {{Transient icon|Taurus Mask}} and {{Transient icon|Shino}} both share the Rule of Accession, their different Roles produces Rules with vastly different powers as a result. Without a Role, a Rule cannot be used, as seen by {{Transient icon|Shadow of Triton|show name=n}} [[Dagon]] in [[Event Quest:GoGo! Remote Island Expedition|Raiders of the Lost Isle]] when he could not use his Rule and was hoping to obtain a Role from {{Transient icon|Triton}} in order to obtain his lost power. While one can share the same Rule, one cannot share the same Role-Rule pair in the same [[world]], whether it be [[Tokyo]] or [[Yggdrasil (Fantastic Boyfriends)]].

One’s Rule best describes the power one possesses. For example, {{Transient icon|Kengo}} wields the Rule of Infinitude, which describes how he can gather infinite power within his fists to deliver a devastating attack. Abilities such as these act under a conceptual system; in other words, the specific powers a Rule has can vary as long as it fits within the general ‘idea’ of what their Rule is meant to represent. {{Transient icon|Akiha Gongen}}’s Rule of Extinguishing can extinguish both real fires as well as the fires of passion within people, causing his targets to lose their motivation and creative drive.

The way a Rule functions can actually be changed, but only if one's Rule originates from the '[[System#Enclosed Space|enclosed space]]' within their own body and the majority belief within is somehow changed. {{Transient icon|Behemoth}}'s Rule was altered because of Inugami entering his body, changing the majority within from a majority of 1 to a 50/50 split. once Inugami left, Behemoth continued to believe that his Rule was changed, and so that became the 'truth' within himself. If Behemoth were to stop believing or find out the truth, his Rule would return to normal.<ref name="Extravaganza">[[Event Quest:Valentine Festival!|Valentine's Extravaganza!]]</ref><sup>13</sup>


Rules are ranked within a world according to a hierarchy which determines which Rules are superior over others and which Rules lose to others. In Tokyo, because of the [[Gate]]s allowing multiple worlds to battle against each other, these mythologies have not had their Rules ranked against each other, causing contradictions between conflicting Rules to take form as [[Exceptions]].

According to {{Transient icon|Maria}}, Rules are not inherently good nor bad. The alignment of a Rule is determined by its wielder and how they choose to use their Rule, often influenced by what one's Role dictates them to be.

==Sacred Artifacts==


[[Sacred Artifact]]s act as vessels in which a Rule is housed and used in battle. Kengo’s Rule of Infinitude is housed within the Belt of Power wrapped around his hand. Every time he wraps the Belt around his fist, his power increases, storing up power until he releases it all in his attacks. If a Sacred Artifact were to be lost during a fight, one would not be able to use their Rule.

Each Sacred Artifact holds only one Rule. One can own multiple Sacred Artifacts, so it is possible to have multiple Rules; however, each Sacred Artifact can still only house one Rule within itself.
