Solomon Authority

Solomon's magic is not built on ordinary spells. It is built on Law Authority, a form of magic that forces the world to recognize a command as a rule. He does not overpower reality. He persuades it, orders it, and makes it agree.

The First Law: Silence governs sound, voice, and communication. When Solomon invokes this law, the target does not simply become quiet. The world itself refuses to carry their voice. A creature may scream, a spell may require a chant, or a curse may try to speak its condition, but under Silence, sound loses the right to exist.

The Second Law: Denial governs permission. This law prevents an action or event from becoming real. It does not destroy the attack after it happens. It denies the event before completion. If a sword is meant to strike, Denial says the strike is not permitted. If a meteor is meant to fall, Denial says the descent is not allowed.

The Third Law: Severance governs separation. This law cuts the connection between a thing and what gives it meaning or danger. Solomon can sever fire from heat, poison from harm, a spell from its caster, a shadow from its owner, or a curse from its condition. The target may still exist, but the part that makes it dangerous is removed.

The Fourth Law: Stillness governs motion, momentum, and flow. Under this law, movement is halted. Rivers stop running, blades freeze mid-swing, spells stop advancing, and even falling objects can hang motionless in the air. Unlike Silence, which controls sound, Stillness controls movement itself.

The Fifth Law: Return governs origin. It sends things back to where they came from. A summoned beast returns to its realm, a curse returns to its sender, a spell returns to its caster, and a weapon returns to the hand that threw it. Return does not deny existence. It simply reminds everything of where it began.

The Sixth Law: Binding governs restriction, seals, and oaths. This law creates a continuing condition that the target must obey. It can forbid movement, speech, violence, escape, betrayal, or even the use of certain powers. Binding is the foundation of Solomon's contracts and one of the reasons demons still remember his name with hatred.

The Seventh Law: Revelation governs truth. This law exposes what is hidden. Disguises, lies, sealed memories, hidden contracts, false names, concealed wounds, and suppressed forms can all be dragged into the open. Revelation does not create truth. It removes the places where falsehood can hide.

The Eighth Law: Dominion governs territory and authority. When Solomon invokes Dominion, a space temporarily recognizes him as its ruler. Within that territory, his other Laws become stronger, faster, and harder to resist. It is not merely a barrier or domain. It is a courtroom, a throne room, and a kingdom made from authority.

The Ninth Law: Equivalence governs balance, price, and exchange. Under this law, nothing is free. Broken oaths demand payment, stolen power requires compensation, and damage must be answered by an equal cost. Equivalence is not mercy. It is fairness sharpened into punishment.

The Tenth Law: Genesis governs creation. It is Solomon's most difficult and most incomplete Law. With Genesis, Solomon can create forms, weapons, bodies, artificial spirits, temporary stars, false worlds, and structures of law from existing essence. However, he cannot create a true soul from nothing. That authority belongs to Big G alone.
