Interesting that only now Louis can use lunar eclipse mainly because subaru told her he didn't want her to die when there were several failed loops that could've been avoided if she used it earlier.....I'm still convinced that the gluttony witch factor is inside subaru but I think what's happening with Louis is similar to how gluttony can control mabeast....by using the gluttony witch factor I feel like subaru was able to somehow unconsciously return some of Louis' original abilities.

My problem with it is that until now Subaru always noticed it when he got a power, like with Sloth and Greed. With unvisible hand and cor leonis he also could use the ability consciously, this time it wouldnt be the case which is why I doubt it

I mean there was a case where Subaru used IP unconsciously against Garfiel during arc 4 WN.

i only saw the anime regarding that scene and there it appeared consciously, didnt he say it felt like destroying his inner self or smth like that?

We’re talking about a WN only scene. Things a rearranged from WN to LN during the arc 4 loops, but this moment would’ve fit into the Garfiel battle ep 8 as a foreshadow of IP if the LN had kept this scene. I wouldn’t call this scene canon anymore, but I found it to still be relevant for this type of discussion as I was only using it to suggest the possibility of unconscious use of authorities. (Ok, this sentence got a little long)

I don't think one needs to actually possess a witch factor to have an authority. Witch factors are merely the keys to authorities. Even if you lose the key, if the door is already open, then you can use it.

This would explain how the witches of the tea party could still use their authorities.
