Fallen Powers
Fallen powers are supernatural abilities that manifest in fallen angels. Fallen powers tend to be twisted versions of the divinely inherited abilities possessed by the celestial races. These abilities allow the fallen to interact with other races with ease, shield their identities, and battle beings of formidable power. Below is a list of fallen powers acquired by succession within Only After Nightfall.

Gained at Strength: Level Six
This power enables the user to inflict a posionous infection onto another person resulting in their immediate death (after one in-character post). Upon activation coupled with skin to skin contact, the power causes the skin to welt and burn, incinerating it on contact.
