Touch-oriented Powers

This is a page listing powers that require physical contact to work.

Sedation Touch
Sedation Touch is the ability to induce immediate unconsciousness in humans.

All Angels possess this power, as do Archangels like Michael. To perform this, they place two fingers (index and middle) on a person's head, usually the forehead or temple.

Characters with this Ability

 * Archangels
 * Seraphs
 * Angels

Death Touch
Death Touch is the ability to kill a being simply by touching them.

There are varying degrees of this. Reapers, ghosts and Lily can only kill humans by touch. Angels can also kill demons and monsters in addition to humans, although this ability won't work on a demon if it's too strong and/or the angel too weak, it also won't work if the demon isn't possessing some body, and they nothing coparal to touch. Death (and temporarily Dean, while wearing Death's ring in Appointment In Samarra) has the highest form of this ability, as he can make any living being die simply by touching them—allegedly even God.

Characters with this Ability

 * Archangels
 * Angels
 * Death
 * Ghosts (Some, powerful ones)
 * Dean (While wearing Death's ring)
 * Lily
 * Reapers

Incineration Touch
Incineration Touch is the ability that allows the user to burn or melt an object or living entity simply by making physical contact with it. Entities with this power usually use a hand to employ it.

Archangels can use this ability to kill other angels by burning them through completely. "Business-type" angels, such as Zachariah and Joshua, refer to this as "being fired".

Characters with this Ability

 * Michael
 * Dragons
 * Phoenix

Healing

 * See Healing

Healing is the ability to remove injuries, sicknesses and wounds through physical contact, though sometimes touch is not required.

This ability is included in the miracle repertoire of all archangels, seraphs, angels, the last provided they are connected to heaven. This ability was also used at one point to change Dean from a Jefferson Star-Ship back to human. (This is the only instance of a monster sickness being cured by magic powers, so it's unclear if all monster sicknesses can be cured across the board.)

Reapers have the ability to heal those near death as an inverse ability to what their natural purpose is. When Azazel possessed Tessa, he used her reaping abilities to not only bring Dean back from the brink of death, but cure his injuries and wounds as well. Sue Ann Le Grange also took advantage of this ability when she cast the reaper enslavement spell. The difference between these two instances is that Sue Ann had to transfer one person's death to someone else for the "healing" to take place, whereas Azazel's healing came seemingly without price for the reaper.

Demons are also able to cure injuries and sicknesses, but cannot do so unless a deal for the requester's soul is struck beforehand.

Time Travel

Angels are able to send or bring entities along with them through time by touching them.

Tricksters are also capable of manipulating time, though touch might not required. Seeing as how the only trickster on the show wasn't technically a trickster, details are a bit fuzzy.
