Introduction
Powers awakened after the reckoning are various and vary between people in type and strength. They mirror the various supernatural powers of angels. Most people have come to consider these powers a helpful change from the norm -or even an angelic gift- and don't think much of them. Some people consider powers a taint from the angels, especially if they hate angels.
These powers are roughly classified as
Powers that span one or more of these classifications aren't exactly rare either. People whose control spans more than one of these classifications are called doubles or triples. A person with pyrokinesis might be a manipulator-- To be able to control fire but not create it. However, they might be also a double, who can create and control fire. A triple might be a person who can create fire, manipulate it, and possess a talent for being able to breathe in smoke without problem or something similar.
Some powers are stable, some are degenerative. Especially adaptation powers have the tendency to be degenerative: they get more extensive over time, and can even threaten the persons life. Emotions, too, can affect how all powers manifest. In strong emotional situations, the angelic powers may become even uncontrollable.
Creation
This class spans over every ability that creates something, whether it be electricity, water, blood, etcetera. It's quite straightforward. The ability can be extensive or centered towards a single body part. A person who creates electricity might become electrified completely or only their fingertips.
Manipulation
For example, pyrokinesis would fall under manipulation. Manipulators don't however possess the innate capability to create anything, so that this person would only be capable to manipulate existing fire. They might, for example, carry with them a lighter to provide them with live fire.
Adaptation
Adaptation powers are most visible and usually affect the persons appearance even if this is not always the case. For example, the ability to breathe underwater might come with gills. However, sometimes there are no outside signifiers.
