Angels

Angels in the MERCE Universe are a more flawed race than what is depicted in religious texts. In fact, they were not created specifically by God. Instead, they were simply created by a god to help govern the creatures in existence that had no direct access to magick. They took this mission too seriously, however, and, in an effort to protect the races without magick from those that did, they created the Veil that separates the Mundane World from the Other Side.

As a result of the Veils creation, all life in the Mundane World was wiped out (a la the cataclysm that wiped out the dinosaurs) and had to start fresh. During the progression of human evolution, the angels took great care in making sure the human race knew who was responsible for their existence and inadvertently created the theologies that survive in modern day as the Judeo-Christian faiths.

In the Mundane World, their power is diluted because they have no free access to the magick trapped on the Other Side. As a result, it takes longer for them to heal when injured then it does for the Spirare who can heal each other, and they cannot accept Spirit Energy in its raw form. They are still quite powerful in comparison to the Mundane, however, and have many different abilities such as changing their physical appearance at will, compelling Mundane by manipulating the thoughts and emotions, and travel between planes. They are also able to use their wings practically, flying great distances without rest easily, and can summon the gods of the old lexicons in times of need.
