Maybe this is a terms thing, but how is that sort of thing "fiat"? That's authority. Used consistently and in accordance with principle. Fiat, in my experience, is when authority is used without a principle grounded in the integrity of the fiction, fairness, or some other commonly understood goal shared by GM and players alike.
