Rereading OT2 in search of missed details I think Aureolus might deserve a bump in his AP. Ars Magna is already hard to gauge due to mechanics (basically being imagination-based reality warping) but it seems that he could be at least City Block level.
During the events of the novel Aureolus had his base on the Misawa Cram School, a school made up of four linked twelve-story buildings with significant space between the school and the rest of the city's buildings surrounding them.
It could only be described as an irregularly shaped building. The building itself was a perfectly ordinary, rectangular, twelve-story tower. However, there were four of them. An intersection sat in the middle, and the placement made the entire structure a square with a cross in the middle when looked at from above. Raised passages straddled adjacent buildings, connecting them to one another.
The school is attacked by an enemy spell, which flattens one of the school's buildings, causes the two buildings it's connected to collapse and causes destruction in multiple surrounding buildings with the wreckage launched by the attack.
The holy spear of crimson struck through from the roof of the building to its basement in the blink of an eye.
Just like stepping on an empty soda can, the building was squashed down to half its original height nearly instantly. Its glass all shattered, and interior objects came hurling out of the windows.
The detonation didn't stop. Only one building had taken the hit, but it was connected to the buildings next to it by the bridges joining them, forcing them to collapse. The last building remained standing like some sort of tombstone.
Kamijou was dumbstruck at the lunacy.
People fell out every time fissures ran through the crushed walls of the building, like a beachgoer shaking the sand out of his trunks. It didn't end there. Tons of debris were raining down like meteors, even destroying some of the neighboring structures. The only saving grace was that no one was around due to the people clearing field.
Aureolus casually undid all this damage with two words, showing he can affect a much large area than a single building with Ars Magna.
The first thing Kamijou felt was the building particles blocking his vision being pulled back. The storm of particulate matter began to flow forward as if whipped up by a gale— right toward the demolished school.
"!?"
No—it wasn't only the particles. The fragments flung all over floated into the air, and collapsed walls rose up. The connecting pieces fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle, and their damage began to close up as if being fixed up with a spatula and clay. It was like he was watching a video rewinding. The fallen building lifted itself up. The people who had been tossed out and had fallen began being sucked back into the fissures, and the damage to the building started to repair as well. The next thing he knew, like nothing had happened, Misawa Cram School's four buildings were standing there again. Even the buildings nearby that were destroyed by the blown-away cannonball debris were back. It was enough to make him think that even the contents of his memories had been altered.
[...]
He contemplated as he stared at his visage, which wouldn't even twitch an eyebrow at seeing buildings lift themselves up like living creatures from his one statement—really only two words: "Go back."
