Changes

:* For example, [[Michael]] heals Sam, and Castiel heals Dean.<ref name="five13" /><ref name="five22">[[5.22 Swan Song]]</ref> [[Metatron]] also heals [[Kevin Tran]].

:* Angels are able to maintain their vessels without food, water, or sleep, and to heal them after they are injured. Lucifer healed Nick's body after he was shot by [[the Colt]]. Castiel has healed his vessel, [[Jimmy Novak]]. Their vessels also appear resistant to disease. However, when Castiel is on the verge of becoming mortal, [[Pestilence]] is able to infect him.<ref name="five21">[[5.21 Two Minutes to Midnight]]</ref> Possessed vessels do not seem to age. Also, weakened angels in vessels can become drunk, but it takes an extremely large amount of alcohol. This was the case with Castiel. An angel's ability to maintain and heal its vessel can be used to repair fatal damage that even their healing power can't fix.

* [[Smiting]] - Angels have the ability kill [[demons]] by placing a hand on the forehead of a possessed individual. Extremely powerful demons are immune to the touch of lower-level angels, e.g. [[Alastair]].<ref name="four10" /> This works on monsters like [[vampires]] too, as displayed by Castiel in [[6.19 Mommy Dearest]]. Humans can also be killed by this power.<ref>[[9.09 Holy Terror]]</ref> A special class of angels called the Rit Zien, like [[Ephraim]], can use this to kill mortally-wounded angels and humans, but when they do, the being it is used on near-instantly explodes in a painless death.<ref>[[9.06 Heaven Can't Wait]]</ref> The collective Host of Heaven can pool their powers together and perform mass-smitings.

* Supernatural perception - Angels are able to see objects and beings that are invisible to humans, for e.g. [[reaper]]s, [[hellhounds]] and [[Enochian sigils]].

* Memory manipulation - Angels have the ability to take away and restore a human's memories. Angels can also implant fake memories. Displayed by Zachariah, Michael, & Castiel.

* Revelation - Angels can implant visions into a [[prophet]]’s mind, as demonstrated when Zachariah uses [[Chuck]].<ref name="five01" />

:* Gabriel resurrects Dean <ref name="three11">[[3.11 Mystery Spot]]</ref> and so does Castiel when Dean is returned from Hell.<ref name="four01" />

:* [[Joshua]] resurrects Sam and Dean;<ref name="five16" /> Zachariah resurrects [[Adam]].<ref name="five18">[[5.18 Point of No Return]]</ref>
