Abilities/Powers || Nerfing/Warping || Weakness
Type
Seraphim - a higher class of angel just below an archangel.
Grace - a type of celestial energy that resembles a shining bluish-white mist. It's what makes them different from humans. While humans have souls which have been described as nuclear reactors, angels have grace instead of a soul. An angel's grace gives them access to Enochian magic, which is how they use their abilities. When an angel uses too much of their grace, they need time to recharge it. When an angel loses its grace they gain a soul and become human. However, they can still tap into varying powers including their ability to tune into 'angel radio' via mass telepathy angels use to communicate. If an angel loses their grace, so long as they can recover it they will turn back into an angel.
Wings - all angels have wings which symbolize their status as celestial beings. Wings are a representation of an angel's strength and the potency of their grace which is why they tend to display their wings to intimidate their enemies. The shadow of their wings can be seen through Astral Projection. When an angel dies their wings are seared onto the surface on which their vessel is lying. Angels need their wings in order to apport, teleport, and travel through time.
Powers
Angelic Possession - needs to use and possess a human vessel to physically interact while on Earth. As an angel, he requires the vessel's permission.
Astral Projection – the ability to extend at least a portion of one's body outward to the astral world. Angels use this to display their wings to non-celestial beings who's senses are too dull to see their wings. Castiel projected his wings to Dean to prove he was an angel when Dean didn't believe him. Projecting one's true self can be harmful and chaotic to the outside world. As a Seraph, Castiel's true visage is far more hazardous and far more terrifying to creatures such as humans, demons, and other earthly monsters since angels tend to display their wings in order to intimidate their enemies.
Dream Walking – ability to communicate to someone through their dreams. Angels use this ability when they can't go to, or locate a human they wish to communicate with.
Warp: will feel as if something is constantly watching him.
Electromagnetic Interference - ability to manipulate electrical devices, he caused a dozen car alarms to stop just by raising his hand. When an angel uses their powers it usually messes with electronics causing lights to flicker, spark or explode.
Voice Mimicry – angels can perfectly mimic anyone's voice due to their perfect control of their vessels. Castiel once perfectly imitated Bobby Singer's voice.
Super Stamina - ability to indefinitely go on without sustenance or rest. Angels never tire and they do not require anything to sustain themselves.
Super Strength – ability of one's muscles to exert force beyond what is physically possible for a human. An angel can dramatically increase the physical strength threshold of their vessel.. It's established that Castiel can lift a ton without too much effort.
Super Senses - angels operate on a different plane of existence and enhance their vessel's senses to superhuman levels. All angels can integrally hear, see, taste, and smell everything on an extremely superhuman level.
*Hearing: so attuned, they can hear any and all spoken prayers from anywhere on Earth.
* See: can see atoms and see inside person past their physical form to see their soul. Castiel was able to see a symbol on a person's heart that was so small Sam needed a microscopic lens to see it, he saw the true faces of demons from a far enough distance that Dean needed binoculars. In his alternate timeline, he knew right away that Dean was not the right Dean of his timeline with merely a glance.
* Touch: deadly or healing touch
* Taste: taste every molecule in food/liquors
* Smell: can identify genes and hormones by simply smelling the body, bone or blood regardless of its condition. Castiel was able to tell the Winchesters had chosen the bone of Sister Mary Constant just by sniffing it. He was able to tell demon blood from human blood and discovered a person's identity and prior medical conditions just by smelling their corpse.
Pyrokinesis – ability to manipulate and generate fire. Castiel set a bag of bones aflame. He also showed this ability to put out Holy Fire with a wave of his hand while it wasn't containing him.
Telekinesis – ability to move or otherwise exert force on inanimate objects from a short distance without physical contact. Castiel used this ability to open a water valve when investigating a demon's escape, and later to open Bobby's Panic Room to let Sam escape.
Nerfed Powers + Power Warping
Localization - ability to locate a soul not protected by Enochian sigils.
Nerf: only w/permission.
Telepathy – ability to read a human's thoughts. Angels are able to read the minds of other angels if given permission and send messages to others. They commonly communicate using mass telepathy known as 'Angel Radio'.
Nerf: only w/permission.
Warp: from time to time, he will hear a soft voice murmuring incoherently that sounds like the voice he was first greeted with on his arrival.
Sedation – ability to render a human unconscious by touching them. All angels possess this ability.
Nerf: only work on characters w/permission. If event monsters/situations are part of the plot, then this ability will abide by the event/monster rules.
Immortality – angels, even in their vessels, don't age and can't be killed by disease, toxins or earthly weapons that inflict mortal damage. Angels don't tire. They don't need to eat, sleep, drink, or breathe to sustain themselves or even their vessel.
Nerf: if event monsters/situations are part of the plot, then this ability will abide by the event/monster rules and cause harm or death.
Invulnerability - ability to withstand regular physical damage, causing little or no harm or pain to the angel. When Dean tried to punch Cas, he hurt his arm while Cas barely even noticed. However, supernatural strength will send an angel flying. Angels can be shot and stabbed drawing blood.
Nerf: if event monsters/situations are part of the plot, then this ability will abide by the event/monster rules and cause harm or death.
Supernatural Perception - ability to perceive what would normally be invisible to humans such as ghosts, reapers, certain monsters, magical sigils, the true faces of demons, and hear other angels through 'angel radio' or electromagnetic waves.
Nerf: if event monsters/situations are part of the plot, then this ability will abide by the event/monster rules.
Temporal Awareness - angels are aware whenever any alteration occurs in the time-stream, allowing them to discern changes to the timeline.
Nerf: if event monsters/situations are part of the plot, then this ability will abide by the event/monster rules.
Healing – ability to remove injuries, sickness, and wounds through physical contact. This ability is included in the 'miracle repertoire' of all angels. Thus, angels can heal wounds, diseases, and toxins of another being instantaneously.
Nerf: will work but deplete his grace much faster, prompting him to rest for longer periods of time.
Warp: if healing someone who is within 10 ft of another person that person will take on their injuries.
Regeneration – ability to heal wounds and injuries beyond that of a normal person. This is similar to a healing factor. If an angel's vessel is damaged it will repair itself nearly instantly unless the wound was caused by an angelic weapon. Castiel has accelerated healing abilities. He can instantaneously regenerate from injuries caused by earth-based weapons. However, he takes somewhat longer to heal damages caused by angelic weaponry.
Nerf: will work but deplete his grace much faster, prompting him to rest for longer periods of time.
Warp: if regenerating within 10 ft of another person that person will take on their injuries.
Photokinesis / Holy White Light / Smiting – the Killing Touch. A holy light is emitted by the angel that kills everything it touches. Angels emit a holy white light from their vessel which gets forced into their opponent burning them from the inside out. Angels can smite demons and monsters in addition to humans, although this ability won't work on a demon if it's too strong or the angel is too weak. When smiting an opponent, a strong white light appears from the eyes and mouth of the victim and burns them from the inside out.
Nerf: will work but deplete his grace much faster, prompting him to rest for longer periods of time. During events, if a power hierachy exists monsters/demons/beings with the hierarchy of low, mid, and high, he'll only be able to use this ability on low-level and mid level creatures, and not on high level ones. If event monsters/situations are part of the plot, then this ability will abide by the event/monster rules.
Apporting - ability to disassemble matter and reassemble somewhere else. This is a similar ability to teleportation except teleporting refers to one's own body where apporting refers to foreign bodies. Castiel has touched many hunters and moved them instantly to wherever he wants. Usually, Cas uses this ability to remove blood from his vessel leaving him looking pristine. Wings are required to apport.
Nerf: limited; distance of the town.
Warp: a feeling of entanglement of an invisible force will push back on him preventing him from going more than 10 miles.
Teleportation – able to travel from one place to another instantly without occupying the space in between. An angel needs his wings to teleport.
Nerf: limited; distance of the town.
Warp: a feeling of entanglement of an invisible force will push back on him preventing him from going anywhere he's not meant to.
Additional Powers (will not gain back/work)
Invisibility – ability to render oneself unseen. Since Castiel is an angel, his invisibility may be linked to being on a different plane of reality. Only those with Supernatural Perception can see them.
Nerf: will not work at all.
Soul Reading/Channeling – By pushing his hand into a person's chest, Castiel can determine the condition of a person's soul, and if the soul was branded by a deal. He can also siphon energy from or completely absorb a soul to recharge and enhance his powers. The process is extremely painful and delicate, having been noted by Castiel as putting one's hand into a nuclear reactor and causing the person to explode should anything go wrong. Castiel displayed this ability to strengthen himself with by siphoning some of Bobby's soul when he depleted too much of his grace and couldn't bring back Sam and Dean from the past where he had sent them (chronokinesis). Later, he siphoned the energy of 50,000 souls from Hell and again when he absorbed all the 30-40 million souls of Purgatory to evolve into a mutated angel.
Nerf: will not work at all.
Vessel Locking – Castiel has displayed the ability to grab a demon's smoke form and force it back into its body to smite it.
Nerf: will not work at all.
Mental Manipulation – By placing his hand on a person's forehead, he's able to manipulate a person's mind, being able to create, erase or alter memories or simply alter their perception of events altogether. He was able to transfer the mental damage from Sam to himself. He is also able to show a person the true version of their memories, not just the version they choose to remember. This is shown when he makes Dean see what really happened when he escaped Purgatory. It wasn't that Dean didn't save him, it was that Castiel didn't want to be saved. Later on, he's able to discover who Rowena truly loved by searching her memories, when she claimed she loved no one.
Nerf: only w/permission.
Warp: if enforcing a particular feeling or trying to gain insight to a character, he will be subjected to the same feelings and intrusion.
Hypnotism - by touching someone's head, he can hypnotize a person and give them commands. He used this to hypnotize a secret service agent into not seeing him and gave him further instructions.
Nerf: only w/permission.

Chronokinesis - ability to manipulate the passage of time, including traveling back in time or forward which sets an angel to a possible future that may or may not happen.
* Time Travel: Highly advanced chronokinetic method for transporting someone either back or forward in time. Angels can achieve it, but it's not easy to perform, even with the help of Heaven. Fallen angels who have been disconnected from Heaven have a difficult time doing it, and it can be quite damaging to the angel and may even kill them.
* Wings: An angel cannot travel through time without wings.
Nerf: Will not work at all.
Resurrection - the power to revive the deceased. Angels can bring the dead back to life, resurrect them, but it's an extremely difficult power to harness. Castiel brought Dean and Bobby back from the dead.
Nerf: will not work at all.
Abilities
Basic Hunting Skills – Demons and monsters are afraid of angels. Angels know of them but don't interfere with them unless they get in their way. While angels know how to set devil traps and have knowledge of how to kill a monster, they tend to simply overpower their foes and use their grace to kill them which leaves their eyes burnt out.
Hand-to-Hand Combatant – shown himself to be a skilled hand-to-hand fighter. He's shown to disarm many angels and come out on top when fighting against more th with Angelic weaponry and then use that weapon to kill them. He has proven capable of fighting his lesser angelic brethren with ease. This skill remained with him as he became a fallen Seraph or even human, as he managed to kill an angel in a broken bus without his powers. Castiel even held off two Leviathans with only his fists.
Limited Cosmic Awareness – possesses a superhuman level of intelligence and awareness of the universe. Information is seared into his mind by god (factory settings) granting him knowledge of demons, other angels, weapons of Heaven, symbols, spells, artifacts, names of prophets, and more. Also have awareness of the power level of a being.
Multilingualism - due to their age, angels are proficient in most, if not all, languages ever spoken on earth.
Enochian Symbols/Sigils – Castiel is shown using Enochian symbols for spellwork. Some spells he's used are: Devil's Trap that can completely suppress and bind a strong demon, banishing sigil, sigil to ward off angels, sigils to hide a soul from all of Heaven, tracking spells and protective spells, etc.
Weaknesses
Angelic Exorcism - there is an exorcism chant to expel angels from their human vessels and send them back to heaven.
Anti-Angelic Chants - some Enochian chants can cause an angel severe pain
Angel Banishing Sigil - Enochian Sigil capable of banishing angels.
Angel Depowering Sigil - Enochian Sigil capable of depowering an angel.

Angel Proofing Sigil - Enochian Sigil that prevents an angel from entering a room, or listening to sounds coming from inside
Angel Trap - Enochian based symbols capable of trapping an angel besides Holy Fire.
Alcohol - A whole liquor store supply of alcohol is sufficient enough to cause a normal angel, cut off from Heaven's power, to become intoxicated.
Angel Ward - Enochian based symbols that prevent an angel from entering a place that is marked with angel wards.
Enochian Brass Knuckles - carved with Enochian sigils into the metal, these magical knuckles can hurt/weaken an angel.

Hexbag - used in witchcraft, can be used to prevent angels from detecting and finding someone.
Holy Fire - made from Holy Oil, if an angel is encased in a circle of flames created by Holy Oil, they will be trapped. If they touch the flame they will kill both the vessel and the angel. However, it did not work on the Archangel Micheal, but it did trap the other archangels.

Weak Vessel - heaving a weak vessel prevents an angel from using their full power. An angel's true vessel can contain the angel without falling apart. An angel can take a vessel that is not their true vessel for some time before the vessel implodes. Vessel's are carefully watched over by cupids who make sure certain bloodlines thrive since strong vessels come from these bloodlines.
Damage/Loss of Wings - having their wings damaged stops them from using their ability to teleport or travel through time.
Naomi's Drill - Naomi, a high level angel, possessed a drill that she could use to remove an angel's memories and brainwash them back to factory settings making them more obedient soldiers.
