Arcs of electricity
Electrokinesis or Electronic Manipulation is an extremely powerful ability, allowing the practitioner to manipulate, and in some cases generate, electricity. It is not the same as Electromagnetic Interference which is a more passive ability and occurs as a side effect of a being's presence or mood, rather than occurring by their will.
Supernatural beings such as angels and demons are able manipulate pre-existing electrical currents. Archangels, such as Raphael, fully possess it, and are able to actually generate currents of electricity.

Notes
- Some creatures are vulnerable to electricity. The Khan Worm, for example, and the Rawhead can be killed by electricity. Leviathans are weakened by incredibly large amounts of electricity but not killed by it. Though when Bobby connected one up to a car battery, it had no effect on the leviathan.
