**Stamina:** High

**Range:** Hundred of kilometers, Universal | High Multiversal & Interdimensional | Multiversal & Interdimensional

**Standard Equipment:**

* **Black Imperial Sword Judecca:** A weapon originally sealed in the Sky Library that made a contract with Arata and became his main weapon. After Arata became a Sword Magus, Judecca became a semi-merged body with him. Judecca has the ability to control the magical power of Arata, and can analyze the possibilities in a battle against his opponent, he can also absorb the magic of an opponent in a defense mode and change shape. Arata can also execute several magic using Judecca as an intermediary.
* **Astil Manuscript:** A legendary grimoire that Arata obtained from Hijiri, said to be a grimoire that contains information from another world. She possesses great knowledge in magic, and can analyze the opponent's abilities just by visualizing them. Among her abilities are the "world reconstruction spell", which can recreate a whole reality including living beings, and the manipulation of memory by being able to make Arata and the rest forget everything about the Breakdown Phenomenon. Finally, together with the Ilias Fragment, they are able to analyze the magic of the Trinity Seven to copy them.
* **Ilias Fragment:** Another legendary grimoire belonging to Arata, previously also belonged to Hijiri, however she joined Arata some time later. She is more a grimoire of support, being able to increase Arata's offensive power, heal wounds, or stabilize magic. Also has the ability to analyze the opponent's skills. Other of her abilities are spatial manipulation and the creation of worlds, sending her opponents and also specific areas to a suspended place between parallel universes, and the invocation of undead beings. Finally, together with the Astil Manuscript, they are able to analyze the magic of the Trinity Seven to copy them.
* **Handgun:** Arata can create a handgun with Outer Alchemic, which is capable of canceling magic or killing powerful beings with one shot.
* **Rifle:** Arata can create a rifle, with the same capabilities as his handgun, but on a larger scale, and can even end Breakdown Phenomena.
* **Sentry Gun:** While in Paladin Mode, Arata is able to create a laser sentry gun, which has a much greater power than his previous weapons, being able to defeat an artificial Demon Lord.

**Intelligence:** Above average (Arata is a prodigy in the use of magic, being able to learn magical abilities in a single use and master them easily. His grimoires give him great knowledge about magic, and both, like the Judecca sword, allow Arata to analyze his opponent's abilities and know the probability of victory. Also, Arata is an excellent swordsman, after having trained with Anna and Ayesha.)

**Weaknesses:** If his Magic King Element is removed, he'll die. Within the time stopped, he can not interact with the affected matter, so he can only stop the time to move faster. He risks becoming Astral Trinity permanently should he overuse Trinity Form, limiting his time in the state. Is rather laid-back and a pervert and he is single-mindedly driven to save his cousin Hijiri, a fact that can be used to manipulate him.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* Imperium (Superbia)
* Abies (Luxuria)
* Fides (Gula)
* Stagna (Acedia)
* Ruina (Ira)
* Judecca's Abilities

* **Stark Naked Magic:** Arata's Thema is Imperium or "Rule" from the Superbia Archive, meaning that his magic is used to dominate and "rule" other. Arata's first and primary magic is nicknamed Stark Naked Magic, momentarily controlling all magic in the surrounding area and forcibly dispelling the magic. This ability is so powerful as to eliminate Breakdown Phenomenons, or deny abilities such as Existence Erasure.
	+ **Meteo Punisher:** Using a gun, Arata can shoot a large blast of anti-magic towards a directed path. This attack is capable of erasing a Breakdown Phenomenon.
	+ **Meteo Dragonar:** Activating the Outer Alchemic spell Realize and Mantra Enchantment spell Conception at the same time, Arata creates rifles and shoots a large burst of anti-magic in the form of a dragon. This attack is capable of dispersing a Breakdown Phenomenon. Furthermore, the spell can be utilized by another mage by transferring his magic.
	+ **Imperiosus Magister:** Arata's stripping magic, that he uses to disassemble a persons magus mode and thereby clearing the third process of copying a person's magic.

- **Outer Alchemic:** The first magic he copied was Lilith's Abies Thema or "Outer Alchemic" from the Luxuria Archive, allowing him to use alchemy to form guns and firearms as she does. He uses this to direct his Anti-Magic abilities rather than throwing them randomly at everything in his vicinity. Using this directed version of his magic, he defeated a D-type demon dragon and dispersed his second Breakdown Phenomenon.
	* **Realize:** Activating a macro in the Astil Manuscript, Arata can use Outer Alchemic to create a weapon such as a handgun or a rifle.
	* **Realize Buster Mode:** While in Paladin mode along with Lilith's support, Arata summons and controls a laser sentry gun.
	* **Meteo Buster:** Fires an alchemic laser blast from a sentry gun capable of defeat a Demon Lord.

- **Mantra Enchant:** The second magic Arata learned was Akio's Fides Thema or "Mantra Enchant" from the Gula Archive, which gifts him the ability to enhance his body for defensive or offensive use, namely he manifests a dragon-like entity based on the D-type demon he had defeated before. Using this magic requires him to have a very strong determination.
	* **Conception:** Taught to him by Akio, Arata uses his determination to create a single magic character on any part of his body, usually on his fists, chest or forehead. This spell will strengthen the body part the magic character is on, giving him defense against most physical attacks. Furthermore, he manifests and freely controls a dragon-like entity, based on the D-type demon during Yui's Breakdown Phenomenon. This dragon is capable of nullifying any magic. Arata can also apply this magic through Judecca.

- **Logos Art:** The third magic Arata completes was Liese's Stagna Thema or "Logos Arts" from the Acedia Archive, which grants him the ability to manipulate time and space.
	* **Chrono Calculation:** This spell allows him to teleport short distances.
	* **Baal Peor:** The Lost Technica of the Acedia Archive and created by Pythagoras, the founder of Logos Art, Baal Peor allows Arata to manipulate the time of all the matter around him, slowing time at a point that seems to be completely stopped. Arata can move in stopped time, even if the ability was not executed by him, and within the stopped world, Arata will move at a speed in which he will travel faster than the speed of light.
	* **Baal Reincarnate:** A time leap macro on the same magic level of the Last Crest. Arata, with the help of Lieselotte, controls the magic and reverses an opponent's magic.

- **Chaotic Rune:** The fourth magic that Arata acquired, originally from Arin. Arin's Thema is Ruina from the Ira Archive, and her branch of magic is Chaotic Rune, which is based on the ancient writing style Norse runes. Specifically, Chaotic Rune manifests the power of gods into runes, capable of overpowering Demon Lord magic once enhanced. Arata has not been shown to use this magic much, only to strengthen himself by using the power of the collapse phenomenon, making his hair and eyes turn white.

- **L'Ciel Cocytus:** While charging herself, the possessor performs a powerful strike capable of destroying the Sky Library. Alternatively, the wielder can also summon large amount of anti-magic in an area to dispel a Paladin's magic or even a Final Crest.

- **L'Ciel Aciel Cocytus:** Together with Caina, Judecca's master executes two powerful simultaneous slashes capable of destroying two Breakdown Phenomenons.

- **Imperium Magister:** Transfers her master's magic into another individual at the result of losing the Demon Lord Element, rendering the possessor a normal human or even disappearing in a worst-case scenario.

- **Conception:** Generates a powerful energy wave to strike an opponent from a distance.
