Angel

The Angel is the avatar of the Gods, a person chosen from birth to do their will and defend their people from evil, mostly from Hell, but from other evils as well. The Angel is annointe by one of the gods, when one dies, the next is annointed. The god who does the annointing is chosen by a rotating cycle and that god picks from among his or her people. The Angel is imbued with divine powers to enable his or her ability to fight evil.

The woman Serafelle, who has lost her memory and her previous identity as Princess Elenia Haswyll of Darincedonia, was the Angel during her battle against the Titan Kraetus.

When the gods were banished during the War of the Necromancer, the Angel ceased to be. The angel at that time committed suicide when he lost his angelic powers for good and the cycle ended.

The Angel is always picked as the person with the most merit among his or her people. If that person abuses his powers, the gods will abandon that Angel, strip him of his powers, and annoint the next. This does not happen often as the gods are careful in who they pick and willing to forgive and overlook minor transgressions if the Angel learns from them (such as Serafelle's murder of the King of Darincedonia.)

Angelic Powers
Angels use divine magic, a school entirely separate from the usual Five Elements (Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Spirit.)  The Angel can use these magics for combat, knocking enemies back, destroying fortifications and seige weapons, setting holy fires, etc.

They can cleanse curses, banish demons and even single handedly sever a mage's magic, a skill that requires, among the Arcanites, no fewer than seven mages.

Angels also have wings at their back, ethereal golden wings that are only visible when the Angel desires them to be so. They can use these wings to fly. Serafelle, when she did not know she was an Angel, never had her wings out until she learned the truth of herself. Despite having no substance to them, they can bear the Angel aloft along with whatever she happens to be carrying.

The Angel State
The Angel State is a state an Angel can enter, either purposefully, or inadvertantly when in extreme danger. The Angel's eyes glow a golden color, the wings become apparent and visible and the entire body is surrounded by a nimbus. When this occurs, the Angel's powers are increased significantly, to the point where they even rival gods. The Angel state was used by Serafelle to defeat Kraetus and Zymaedis. She also used it in a fit of rage, throwing the King of Darincedonia, the usurper who took her father's throne, onto the spire of the Cathedral, a moment of anger she later regrets.

However the Angel State is taxing to maintain, like any other form of magic, it consumes mana. Though the mana pool is increased greatly, it depletes more quickly. Worse, it opens up the spirit of the Angel to demonic possession and any demon worth his salt would seek to possess an Angel. If this happens, the gods have no choice but to abandon the Angel, strip her of her powers, and annoint a new one, and this has happened before.
