I wanted some of the powers in order to be a better fighter. I can't teleport and I really really can't control hellhounds or daeva but telekinesis, strength and seeing how they see.
Are we seriously listening to Crowley?
I don't think Death exactly adores me, since I did die, but that's also true of a lot of us and I think I might offend him a bit less than others. Maybe. I'm willing to try, definitely.
