Angels

Angels (from the Greek ἄγγελος - aggelos) are a race of pure, extremely powerful, winged, luminous, immortal, spiritually similar celestial beings.

## Higher Angels (The First Sphere)

The first order of angels, the Higher Angels, consists of the oldest, wisest and most powerful angels of all creation. They are considered the strongest warriors of God, as well as the leaders and commanders of the heavenly army.

* Archangels
* Seraphim

   Archangels are the oldest highest and most powerful angels.
They are the original leaders and controllers of heaven in God's absence. Archangels are the most important angels of high rank and reputation. They are said to be the only angels who have seen God Himself. They are far more powerful than any other angelic rank, as they are imbued with almost unimaginable and immeasurable power and authority. Moreover, they are among the strongest beings in all creation.

   Seraphim are a high-ranking class of angels, having a higher rank than all other angels, but below the archangels. Like archangels, the powers of seraphim are anchored in them, and when they fall from heaven or are cut off from heaven, they lose none of their powers. . They are tremendously powerful celestial beings, strong enough to overwhelm and crush everything under an archangel, and they have proven incredible powers. Therefore, they are stronger and more powerful than the lower and middle angels, but still much less than other higher angels.

## Powers and Abilities

### Standard Powers

* **Immortality**: As spiritual beings, whether in spiritual or physical form, angels do not age and cannot become ill, die, or be killed by disease or earthly weapons and exist forever.
	+ **Invulnerability** : Angels are essentially impossible to harm by conventional means.
	+ **Regeneration** : When an Angel or Angel's vessel is damaged, this greatly increases their hosts' self-regeneration abilities, as well as their immune system and tolerance to physical pain, repairing itself almost immediately unless the wound was caused by Angel weapons.
* **Extreme Power**: Angels are one of the most powerful beings.
	+ **Angelic Possession** : Similar to demons, angels on earth need a vessel even though they can manifest. However, they must have the permission of the vessel before they can take control; basically, they need the vessels to say "yes".
	+ **Astral Projection** : Angels can manifest on earth as spirits without needing a physical form. They can even interact with the physical world in this state.  Angels can project shadows of their wings onto surfaces at will. When one is killed by an Angel Blade, their wings are burned onto the surface where they died.
	+ **Chronokinesis** : Angels can travel through time in both directions, go back in time or reverse time, cause the resurrection of the dead, cause memory loss and also cause the physical restoration of the damaged. They can also take others with them and simply send others without going themselves. Angels also have the unique ability to manipulate the space-time continuum, watching the world freeze around them.
	+ **Demon Immunity**: The vessels of angels and even angels themselves are immune to demonic possession.
	+ **Healing**: Angels can instantly heal and cure wounds, diseases and toxins of another being.
	+ **Cosmic Senses**: Angels possess heightened senses and enhance the senses of their vessels to cosmic levels. Angels have learned to control their senses of hearing, sight, taste, touch and smell.
	+ **Holy White Light** : A particularly deadly force, angels can unleash a highly concentrated beam of pure light energy from their palms to incinerate or destroy targets. The degree of its destruction can be controlled, from obliterating an entire building to killing a room full of monsters.
	+ **Invisibility** : Angels can become invisible to humans. All angels are spiritual beings, which naturally make them invisible to the visual spectrum. However, angels can be seen for the main reason of physically interacting with the living.
	+ **Protection Spell**: An angel can protect a person (usually their vessels and their protection spells) from most physical harm. This level of protection is associated with the power of an angel.
	+ **Pyrokinesis** : Angels have the ability to create, generate, manipulate and extinguish fire. They can also use this as an energy attack. The higher, older, more powerful and experienced the angel is, the more they can use this ability.
	+ **Reality Warping** : Angels are powerful enough to bend reality to their will. The more powerful the angel, the greater his ability. Even angels who are cut off from heaven have this power to some degree.
	+ **Resurrection** : Angels can easily raise the souls of the dead from the afterlife and back to life.
	+ **Shapeshifting** : Angels are able to change their true angelic appearance and make themselves look like humans (hiding their big wings)
	+ **Smiting** : Perhaps the most versatile and terrifying weapon of an angel, smiting (sometimes known as Killing Touch) allows the angel to kill/destroy all creatures and humans with a simple touch. They can also use it to kill demons, ghosts, monsters and humans.
	+ **Sonic Cry**: Angels can raise their voice to a deafening level that allows them to smash rocks, buildings and even kill other creatures.

## Weaknesses

* Holy Fire: If the angel is enclosed in a circle of flames made of holy oil, he is trapped. The trapped angel can still use its powers, which may help it escape. However, the touch of the flames kills the vessel and the angel. It cannot kill Michael, however, but only banish him for a short time. The oracle can simply ward off the Holy Fire. Should the circle be broken by some kind of bridge, the angel can cross it and escape unharmed.
* Enochian sigils: When enochian sigils are placed on human chests, they prevent angels/archangels (except the Oracle and Seraphim) from detecting and finding them. They can also be used to prevent angels (except the Oracle and Seraphim) from entering a building by painting them on the walls of the building. In Torn and Frayed, the sigils on the walls drastically weakened an angel's powers. They can also prevent an angel from overhearing a conversation of the people in a protected room.
* **Grace Removal**: An angel's grace can be removed by cutting its throat and drawing it into another being or vial, making it human and mortal.
