"There's levels of trouble, Saturday," he points out, shaking his head. "Also, the rules here are different than the ones back in our own homes. I don't know how much of it is affecting you, but there are people who are here and have powers now that they don't have in their own worlds. And some who have powers that are much decreased. Even if an angel from my world arrived here, I don't know that the physics of this place would allow them to operate at anything near the same power level."
Sam gives that some thought. More because he knows there's a lot that he's never even seen when it comes to angels and their power. "Trying to remember how Cas puts it. Angels aren't exactly physical. They mostly are...metaphysical wavelengths of power. His true form is more along the size of the Chrysler Building in New York, but all folded down into a human body." A moment pause. "Difference between angels and demons back home. Demons can take a human host without the host's permission or even knowledge, most of the time. Angels have to get permission."
Though they could trick a human into saying yes. Lucifer had tried that a couple of times.
"I guess they're probably a bit closer to your free spirits, in that you don't call them, they just appear when and where they want. Most angels can heal any injury, even curing sickness and disease, though a large population would probably require a few angels. They're stronger and faster than any human. Near instantaneous teleportation. Or it feels like that to humans. It's mostly flying, though." He starts ticking things off on his fingers. "Invulnerability and immortality. They can walk through people's dreams. They can locate any human that isn't protected by certain sigils. Regeneration of any damage that does manage to get through. A certain amount of protection from harm that they can grant others. Knock people unconscious with a touch. Warp reality so that things that were there a minute ago aren't. And they really aren't, it's not just making your brain think they aren't. Smiting, always a good one. Temporal awareness, which is knowing when something has been changed in the past because there are also some more powerful angels with the ability to travel in time. They don't require food, water, sleep or even to breathe, even in a host body..."
Another moment of thought as he tries hard to remember everything that he's seen Castiel do. "They can see beyond human perception and see things that would be invisible to humans. Telekinesis, telepathy. Some of them can reshape large areas of land. Some of them can even bring people back from the dead, provided they know where all the parts of the body are and they have the soul, though higher level angels can do that with only the soul." Like what Zachariah had done with Adam. "And that's not even the end of the powers, those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head."
Really, angels were some of the most powerful creatures in Sam's world. They might be considered something different in other worlds, but Sam's was pretty low magic.
