Summon You can call an angel from a place of your power. You never truly control angles, but they will cooperate in good deeds. Learning who to summon may require study or be a a score in itself.

This does not remove existing loyalties, which can lead to conflicts.	Enslave You can permanently bind angels to stay on your plane. Unless affected by other powers, they will stay in one location and act according to your instructions, like very loyal and literal-minded goons.
Consort	Mask You can change your clothes and accessories by imbuing them with light. This can mask your identity or create fabulous outfits.	Shapechange You assume the form of an angel. Add 1d to one action and subtract 1d from all actions covered by an attribute except if you just raised one of them.	Transform You can shapechange a willing or helpless creatures into an angel. A target can end the effect at any time. Evil creatures will be very uncomfortable in this form.

Finesse	Ride You can move and see regardless of the level of light.	Fine Local Control You can use the power as a fine and potent close-range attack, similar in effect to a fine potent dueling sword or pistol, or you can give your friends the Ride ability for the duration of a score.

This allows you to trigger or hinder mechanisms or perform other minor manipulations, as long as the target is sensitive to light or heat.	Surge Your power manifests like a rain of searing rays, suppressing the effect of multiple opponents and acting as a fine potent weapon.
Hunt	Track You can track creatures with strong good and bad intentions.	Fine Ranged Attack You can use your power to attack, similar in effect to a fine and potent laser rifle.	Area attack You can use your power to attack similar to a fine and potent laser bomb. This allows you to fight many creatures in the same area very effectively, but there is a risk of collateral damage.

Usually enough to provide cover for any escape.

This includes previous owners and how the object has been moved around as well as significant scenes.	Omniscience You research everything in a wide area. This is easy to do where you are, more difficult at range. You can then use hindsight on some of these targets.
Survey	Detect You can sense strong good and evil intentions as well as physical illumination. This works even when you can't see the target, but both range and information suffers.	Sensor Choose a glowing object that you have detected; you can perceive as if you were at that spot. You cannot use your Survey action for anything else when doing so.	Scry Choose a location or creature. You gain a sensor at the nearest glowing object, which is often close enough to perceive the target.
