POWERS

Said to be the first angels created by God, these angels are the guardians of the passageways leading to Heaven and reside between the First and Second Heavens. They are the guides to lost souls and they bring balance to the earth. Because of the Powers, humanity is able to maintain balance within their spirits. They are also the recoders of the history of mankind, and are said to prevent the efforts of demons to take control of the world. They are also said to preside over demons, or perhaps (According to Saint Paul) are themselves evil.

They are recognized as special Warrior Angels against evil, tireless defenders of goodness by most. They are so intelligent that they can detect schemes and tricks before they happen and always send warnings to humans when others seek to hurt them.

OTHER NOTE

POWER:
This is the name of one of the ten Holy Sefiroth (angels found in the Cabala). It is also the name of a demon dound in the Testament of Solomon. Solomon summoned and interrogated him with the aid of a magic ring. Power revealed to Solomon that he was a ruler in the world of darkness, raising up tyrants, deposing kings. This demon and the name of the ten Holy Sefiroth are distinct from the choir of Powers.
