I want Crowley to rip out Samandriel's Grace and corrupt it to fuel his minions to keep season 8 demons fresh and interesting. They will then be a new class of demons that can hold their own against angels. Call them nephilim (artistic license(!), don't slap lore on my--I know what they typically are according to lore), or infernal juggernauts of what-have-yous.

Abilities:

Heightened Supernatural Senses, Teleportation, Minor Resistance to Angelic Light, Biokinesis, Pyrokinesis, Improved Telekinesis, and Black Smoke (smothers a target with a demonic cloud storm, can rip apart devil's traps. Evil counterpart of Angelic White Light, stronger than Demonic White light. Appears Fiery Red in Crowley's Case).

''Okay, I can already hear your screams and rage about them being more powerful than even Azazael or Lilith. I don't give jacksquat. The lore needs to be fresh and must evolve. This is post-apocalypse. No more rules. This is an arms-race. Plus this would put another credit to Crowley as a real menace as a Big Bad. He seems to be the only one clever enough to come up with such.''

Weakness:

Demon Banishing Spell/Demon Bomb from the Tablet. That's it.

Why we need it:

Castiel becomes too much of a deus ex machina. It will bore me to death if he always becomes the trump card for every confrontation against Crowley, who as King-of-Hell, couldn't even go toe-to-toe with his enemy. Plus, like mentioned above, the lore will evolve and become more interesting.

Samandriel meanwhile, becomes human and signs up as a hunter. That's character development at the same time.
