Rule

This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

A Rule (権能ルール) is a power of a divine being. A Rule can overwrite the laws of nature. The way the Rule is used, however, is restricted to the way Role fashions it. Rules only have power when combined with a Role. Without one, a Rule is useless. Unlike Roles, one may possess multiple Rules, each bound to every Sacred Artifact the person possesses.

Examples of Other Roles/Rules

• Rán, Aegir's spouse from the world of Yggdrasil, possessed the Role of the Plunderer. However, she would later give up her body and entrust all her memories into her Sacred Artifact, the vast ocean itself, thus becoming one with the sea. Her Role would live on in Yggdrasil's ocean, becoming a System itself that steals and hoards living memories. The System divided itself into nine devices called the Daughters of the Waves to gather memories from wandering sailors more efficiently and effectively.¹¹
• According to Shinya, the Role of the Sacrifice is for someone who is offered up for the benefit of their home world. He may be alluding to the Three Beasts of Eden, though this is never confirmed.¹¹
• The fae in the world of Tír na nÓg possess the Rule of the Changeling, which allows any injuries they sustain to be transferred onto someone else. The only way to defeat them is to eliminate them instantaneously, such as with Balor's Evil Eye.
• According to Alice, she and Sanat Kumara share the same Rule of Memory Manipulation, though this is unclear if this is meant to be their actual Rule as it does not fit the usual naming convention for Rules.²²
• Taishakuten's Rule of Thunder likely applies to all iterations of Indra that exists in other worlds. It is not specified if his Rule of Storms apply to other Indra iterations as well.^{6 20}

Examples of Matching Role-Rule Pairs

• Perun from the world of Kitezh shares the same Role and Rule as Zeus from Olympus, blocking him from entry. Zeus currently uses Shinya as his proxy.¹⁰
• In the newly created world of Yggdrasil (Fantastic Boyfriends), Horus had stolen the title and power of Demon King from its rightful owner Nekros because of his similar power to raise the dead. Once Horus was defeated and the Black Core was removed from his body, Horus would lose the title of Demon King, giving Nekros the opportunity to take back his power.¹⁰
• The original Daikoku from the Land of Wa shares the same Role and Rule as the Exception Mahakala. If it wasn’t for Okuninushi inhabiting his body, he would have been barred from entering Tokyo.

Notes

• Suzuka's Rule of Revelation only applies to one of her three swords. The other two Rules are currently unknown.
• In the Raiders of the Lost Isle event, Triton gives away his Role of the All-Father to Dagon in exchange for the Role of Educator. It's unclear if Triton regains his original Role or keeps his Role of Educator after Dagon's defeat, and what his Role is in other loops.
• The Protagonist is the only character to have their Role change during the progression of the story, going from 'Wanderer' in the beginning of the Main Quest to 'Dragon' at the end of Chapter 9.

Should add that:

Rules of similar nature. Cannot combat one another. Instead the rule that was activated first will take effect leaving the other ineffective. As shown when Horkeu Kamui fought Chernobog (in Black Snow on the Hot Spring Mountains) as they both have the power to freeze. However if there targets differ then this may be changed.
