How to Fuse

Angel

Main article: Angel

|The ninth class of angels in the Angelic Hierachy. They appear in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism as manifestations of God's will. The generic angels depicted in paintings are almost always of this class.

The word "angel" means "messenger" in Greek. Angels serve as a link between God and humankind. They are also sometimes referred to as "servants." Angels appear in many parts of the Bible and other scriptures.

Archangel

Main article: Archangel

|The eighth class of angels, members of the Third Sphere, they are directly involved in the world of humans as the bearers of God's will, acting as a bridge between humans and their Lord. At the end of the world, they will be charged with the blowing the Seven Horns.

Archangels have a spiritual awareness two levels higher than humans. Unlike angels, their role is to guide groups and nations rather than individuals.

Principality

Main article: Principality

|The seventh class of angels. These angels protect the leaders of nations and large cities on Earth. They have an orthodox view of good and evil, but are said to be stubborn. Principalities are charged with patrolling the borders of regions overrun by demons and can create harmony between those in conflict. However, they are also the most easily corrupted of all angels.

Their spiritual awareness is three levels higher than humans. They are said to rule over time.

Power

Main article: Power

The sixth class of angels, members of the Second Sphere. Their name signifies the power of God. They are also known as "Dynamis" and "Polantias".

Powers are tasked by their masters with destroying sinners who defy Heaven. They serve largely as holy soldiers, seen as capable of both good and evil. This is because they have the most contact with devils, compared to any other type of angel and thus are the most prone to fall from grace. They patrol the corridors of Heaven, always ready to stand on the front lines and defend Heaven from demons and other enemies.

Powers have a spiritual awareness four levels higher than humans. They help protect law and order in the natural world. They also took part in the Creation and serve as spiritual guides to all humanity.

Camuel, leader of the Powers, commands one million of these angels, while Raphael, one of the four Archangels, oversees the class.

Virtue

Main article: Virtue

The fifth class of angels, ranked second among the Second Sphere. Their name signifies the virtue of God.

Virtues lack physical bodies and cannot directly affect reality. They are known as "the shining ones" and "the luminous ones". Virtues manifest themselves in the form of miracles. They create miracles before all who strive toward noble goals or fight in the name of good, bestowing favor and courage upon them.

It is said that two of these angels of might were summoned to accompany Christ during his Ascension. They also acted as midwives for the birth of Cain, Adam and Eve's first child.

Dominion

Main article: Dominion

In the Christian hierarchy of angels, Dominions are part of the second sphere and are said to watch over nations and regulate the duties of lesser angels.In Moses Maimonides' hierarchy of angels according to Jewish lore, they are Hashmallim, the fourth rank of angels, and are mentioned briefly in the Hebrew version of the Book of Ezekiel.

Throne

Main article: Throne

The third of nine classes of angels, they are angels of knowledge. The Thrones or Elders, also known as the Erelim or Ophanim, are a class of celestial beings mentioned by Paul of Tarsus in Colossians 1:16 (New Testament) and related to the throne of God. They are living symbols of God's justice and authority. They come the closest of all Angels to spiritual perfection and emanate the light of God with mirror-like goodness. They, despite their greatness, are intensely humble, an attribute that allows them to dispense justice with perfect objectivity and without fear of pride or ambition. Because they are living symbols of God's justice and authority, they are called Thrones and have as one of their symbols the throne.
