Ultimate Skill

Ultimate Skills (究極能力) are the successor to Unique Skills and the final evolutionary stage of Skills in general.

Characteristics
Ultimate Skills, as the name implies, grants its wielder the ultimate power to control the very laws of nature. The only ways to counter an Ultimate Skill are with another Ultimate Skill, Administrative Authority, Ultimate-level Magic, God Grade Equipment or Divinity. Although it all boils down to will power.

If Unique Skills are born from one's individuality, Ultimate Skills are born when Unique Skills are brought past their limit. That is why no Ultimate Skill is identical. A strong will and Soul, as well as being a Spiritual Lifeform are necessary to awaken an Ultimate Skill. Similar to all Skills, a large amount of Energy is consumed and converted to awaken them.

Through certain methods, Ultimate abilities can be imparted to those who have not naturally awakened them. One of the requirement is that the recipient must be a Spiritual Lifeform to qualify for it.

Variation
There are certain variations of Ultimate Skills based on how they are acquired, namely Ultimate Gifts (究極贈与) and Ultimate Enchantments (/). Both are not naturally awakened by the individual like ordinary Ultimate Skills, but instead imparted to them with the Skills Skill Gifting or Michael. Ultimate Gifts are Ultimate Skills which are gifted via a Soul Corridor, while Ultimate Enchantments are Ultimate Skills given to those outside of it.

Trivia

 * In the story, the characters pronounce Ultimate Skills using only the being they reference and not the entire names used in the wiki and translations. Meaning, it's "Ultimate Skill Beelzebuth" not "Ultimate Skill Lord of Gluttony Beelzebuth." This is due to the Japanese texts themselves. (See: Furigana and Ruby Characters)
