In the real world, the "right" to do something doesn't mean the "power"

that doesn't grant you the power to right a bestselling novel.
However, in Agora, the right and the power are inseparable; the
right to perform an action by message is inseparable from the
granting of that message a legal effect.
The rules use the term ``right'' without defining it (they only say
that persons may or may not possess them), and the term is frequently
used in legal contexts. But then rule 754 (3) requires us to
interpret it in the legal sense, so rights and powers are distinct.
