"I'm just saying, if they're proper angels from the actual god, they shouldn't be worried about the local rules..." She blinks. "I didn't know that, actually. I mean, my third eye's been on the fritz since I got here, but I'm always fucking that up, I'm not very good as astral sight. Didn't think much of it. Huh."
She's still not sure that should be something that bothers an actual divine agent. But Sam almost certainly knows more about his world's magic than she does. Maybe angels are like the Passions, and choose to not do certain things they could do in order to cut down on unforeseen consequences.
For the next bit, she listens carefully enough that she stops smashing things. The drones are less than pleased, but she's not paying attention to them. A smart person is telling her things, they can wait their turn.
"Well, some of that sounds right. I don't think normal spirits can bring people back from the dead. Passions can, but it makes Death cranky - she's a real person where I am - so they avoid it these days. Spirits can heal the sick and all but I don't know if they can do more than one at a time? Most mages can only heal one a time and as a rule, anything a mage can do a spirit can also do but generally a little bit better since they don't have meat bodies to work around." She searches her memory. "Finding people's easy as long as you got something with a mystical tie, but if they can do that without one, that's really cool. And vanishing things - like I think maybe a spirit could move something somewhere else on the physical plane or into the astral or something to hide it, but I don't think they could make it be not-there-anymore without actually destroying it. How big an area could they reshape? Like a room, a country...?"
