The problem is the thing to understand the difference between phenomenon type and possession type is lost in translation:
In the raw, every authority are written in kanji and then pronounce in his English meaning through katakana.
For example The translation of the kanjis of Ripper is "The person who slash/rip (with a sword)"
All the possession type Authorities are written with the kanji "者" at the end of them that generally means "person" in those context.
Phenomenon type Authority is only the concept while Possessor type Authority seems to include the god associated with the concept (who will then possess you to help you using it).
The stealing of authorities slashed is still busted though...
(The only way I can make sense of it is when you ripped something, it generally fell on your feet)
In the battleship metaphor from what I understood
- big battleship= God
- tiny little boat = human
- Phenomenon type Authority = Big weapons scale to be fixed in a big battleship
- Possessor type Authority = Half-broken battleship still floating but can't move anymore and with functioning weapon.
- Pseudo authority (the one glasses girl use) = the same weapon but scale down (detuned) to be be put on a little tiny ship and use effectively.
So
- Human with Possessor authority: the little boat is linked to wrenched big battleship and makes them move while in combat the battle ship do his things
- Human with phenomenon authority: the little boat have a big enormous cannon on it but can only fire a tiny bit of his true to avoid self-destruction.
- Human with pseudo authority: the little boat have a cannon scale down to his side so it fire at the same power than the one above with far less burden on fuel (Exp consumption).
IIf your wife that you love so much (that you her a invisible magic gun with a infinite magasine you has already filled up with 10 000 bullets but still load up more whenever you can that automatically fire anything who try to threaten her and she can also use whenever she wants) is enslaved to your boss through a magic contract, but then you learn that you can destroy Absolutely ANYTHING with your gun, what will be the very first thing you will shoot down as the good husband that you are ?
