BATTERY and CROWN seem pretty clear.

After that, I'm really not sure:
MILLIONAIRE, TEMPLE - as other sources of power, wealth and faith
GROUND, PLATE - related to electrical power
BAR - "power bar", aka energy/protein bar
NINJA

The CROWN has the power. To getthe BATTERY to provide it, GROUND that sucker.

BATTERIES are a source of power.
Power was vested in the CROWN.

Less certain on the third word. I like BAR, as it has connections to both the electrical device and to protein/power bars. MILLIONAIRE is a possibility, as power flows from wealth as well, but if it was a word I'd think powerFUL would be the clue given. GROUND as related to electrical circuits is another, but this feels like an unintended connection.

I'd prefer BATTERY->CROWN->BAR here.

Unintended electrical connections to ground are pretty common, unfortunately.

lol 

I think Fenn's right that if the final word were MILLIONAIRE/NINJA, the clue would have been Powerful.
So I'm leaning BAR/GROUND. Slight preference for BAR.
Both words also have associations with Force. That's helpful; they should be no worse than grey.

Prefer GROUND pretty heavily, because I also saw a strong "ground force" connection. But BAR is okay if you can convince Sunrise.

I didn't see the connection to Bar at all, but re-reading I see you're referencing Power Bars which are indeed decently well known. I still definitely prefer Ground but I am okay moving Bar up to my fourth lean (after Battery, Crown, and Ground).

I'm okay flipping a coin....Azoth and Fenn prefer Bar and Fenn says he prefers it pretty strongly so we're pretty balanced.

All right. The coin came up tails, which means...

Point to GROUND
