Forum:Smiting Expanded

Smiting has by far been one of the most displayed angelic abilities, and arguably one of the coolest.

However, I believe that some facts about it should be altered.

1. Smiting is a very wide term that cannot be clearly asigned to any ability displayed on the show to this date. I believe that the correct term would be White Light.

2. Smiting has, by far only been used to describe tacile power, that is capable of killing any creature with less power than an angel. However some characters such as Amara, Lucifer, and Dagon used what appears to be a remote version of it; it was used to disindegrate angels to clouds of black and white dust from distance, without contact. Yes, could be called biokinesis or molecular combustion, but it was not as nearly as violent as what was used to kill Castiel and Nithael, and included almost no biological matter.

3. The way that Michael killed Anna could also be smiting; however, due to him being far more powerful that any angel ever displayed, his smiting was potent enough to completely incinerate his victim. Note that Castiel displayed simmilar power after absorbing 50.000 souls: his smiting was now devoid of ussual yellow hue, and managed to burn through Lenore's face, instead of only incinerating her eyes.
