Telesma

Telesma (天使の力 (テレズマ)) is an Angel's (those of Divine Origin) equivalent of mana.

Principles
The potency of telesma cannot be compared to mana. The human body cannot handle telesma due to a difference of affinity, not a matter of potency. If the human body does absorb telesma, the person would suffer severe damage as demonstrated when Acqua of the Back drained telesma from Archangel Gabriel. This further shows that Saints, even if they have undergone modification from God's Right Seat, cannot handle Telesma. However there are some people who can control telesma, like Leivinia Birdway, or with an object like the Curtana Original. There have been some cases where a human can posses telesma such as Sasha Kreutzev as a result of the Angel Fall incident.

Unlike mana, which is not initially aligned when produced, Telesma is aligned to one of the elements. Large concentrations can have highly dangerous effects on the real world, such as causing large tidal waves. Such phenomena is related to the element to which the Telesma is aligned.

Trivia

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