Telesma

Telesma (天使の力) is an Angel's equivalent of mana. It can have highly dangerous effects on the real world, such as causing large tidal waves. However, there are some people who can control telesma, like Birdway, or with an object like the Curtana.

Potency of telesma cannot be compared to mana - the human body cannot handle telesma due to a difference of affinity, and not a matter of potency, and if the human body does absorb telesma, then they would suffer severe damage; as demonstrated when Acqua of the Back drained telesma from Archangel Gabriel. This further shows Saints, even if undergone modification from God's Right Seat, cannot handle Telesma.

There have been some cases where a human would posses telesma, such as Sasha Kreutzev, as a result of the Angel Fall incident.

Trivia

 * Telesma is the English transliteration of the Greek word τελέω, which means payment, toll or tax.
