Powers and Abilities
The Angelus is a force of nature with the power of the sun flowing through her. The Angelus has been described as beautiful as the Morningstar and as ferocious as Kali. She grants her hosts superhuman strength, speed, stamina, invulnerability to all Earthly weapons or harmful creatures, healing abilities, flight, the ability to create objects and sentient beings of pure light (including a cadre of soldiers known as the Angelus Warriors), and the memories of all the previous Angelus hosts.
She can also breathe fire, melt magical armor with her touch, channel blasts of light from either her weapons or hands, teleport both herself and others, withstand the full heat of a dying sun for 13 years without harm or nourishment by sustaining herself on the "will of the Almighty" alone, and fly through outer space at a speed "besting the hands of time".
However, the Angelus' powers are limited since functioning in complete darkness quickly drains her of her powers which can also cause her host to age away and die within moments if she is of old age, and anything she creates turns to dust in the dark.

—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“We should spend less time ranking children and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts and cultivate these. There are hundreds and hundreds of ways to succeed and many, many different abilities that will help you get there.”
