• If attack hits a chaos elemental of the same size or smaller, victim is destroyed.
  • If both are equal in size, both are destroyed.
• When dealing damage, may choose whether the wound inflicts pain.

1. Cherub - can also be "recruits", like souls acting as psychopomp.
2. Choir (Preacher) - or maybe this is the celestial chorus? And their songs count as prayers, preachings, and things which cause "faith" damage.
   • Seldom used, because they can do weird things to other angels.
     • If an angel serving a different god happens across a choir, the Faith damage can cause them to doubt and lose their connection to their god.
       • This state of opposing lawful forces causes confusion and, ultimately, a (tiny) crack of chaos, corrupting the purity of the angel.
       • fallen angels lose their immaculate protection.
3. Ophan - Throne
4. Seraphs - Serpent - do like righteous dragons (or maybe wyrms)
5. Hassar - Prince
6. Metatron
