Summon Angel

6th-level conjuration

"The Lord commands his angels to guard you wherever you go."
Psalm 91:11

Casting Time: Magic action

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S, M (a piece of parchment or other material onto which is inscribed the true name of an angel)

Duration: Instantaneous

You call out the name of an angel of the Lord. You choose the angel's type, which must be of challenge rating 5 or lower, such as a Messenger Angel, Guardian Angel, or Challenger Angel. The angel appears in an unoccupied space you can see within range. The angel disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when it decides to return to the heavenly realm.

The angel is obedient to the will of God alone, and is under no compulsion to behave in any particular way. You may respectfully request the angel's aid, but it is not obliged to help you.

Examples of tasks that an angel may willingly perform include: delivering a message, providing advice, rescuing an innocent person from danger, or engaging in combat with a demon. An angel will not commit an act of violence against a mortal creature unless in defense of another mortal creature's life, and even then will use nonlethal damage. An angel can provide excellent and insightful advice, but it is not omniscient and its advice is limited to its own experience of the universe.

If the angel decides that it is the will of God that it should assist you, it will remain on earth until your request is complete. If you are rude to the angel, or if it deems your request to be against the will of God, the angel will disappear at once.
