Reality Marble
From TYPE-MOON Wiki
A Reality Marble (固有結界 koyuu kekkai, innate bounded field) is the common sense of the spirit world that the demons possess, but now, it is possible to achieve one as an innate bounded field.
As a sub-category of Marble Phantasm, it is possible to reshape reality into the vision of the bearer through a bounded field. It is a magecraft that comes close to being real magic, and is a category that was banned by the Association of Magecraft.
Unlike Marble Phantasm, it isn't possible to make any transformation you want: its only purpose is to do the one thing that defines the practitioner. On the other hand, that thing can be something unnatural.
The Reality Marble allows the creation of a world that obeys a set pattern of rules. However, there are limitations in how it is a way to create a spiritual world. In principle, it is something that only belongs to demons and spirits, but it is possible for an individual with high magic abilities to realize one with time. The World will naturally try to crush such a bounded field if it isn't made by a spiritual entity. Also, in the end, only a limited number of people are capable of realizing a Reality Marble.
The majority of the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors seem to be capable of realizing one. By the way, Nero made his Reality Marble as his own body, so that the World will not try to crush it.
