However, Hyouka herself is shown to behave as a mindless tool similar to that of angels in Christian lore, after having her Fuse Kazakiri mode activated. The case is somewhat different in the science side however, as evidenced by Kazakiri Hyouka's existence, as she displayed emotions similar to that of humans. Later when Kanzaki and the others try to prevent him or more appropriately inconvenience him from killing Kamijou Touya who was unknowingly the culprit, Gabriel resorted to destroying the world instead. As with the case of Archangel Gabriel under the guise of Misha Kreutzev, who spends his time helping Touma, Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kanzaki Kaori trying to find the culprit of her fall. However, when a divine angel falls from heaven due to the effects of Angel Fall, they can break the orders of God in order to return to Heaven, such as killing humans, despite creating a paradox for God's plans for the Final Judgment, and seemingly have an orderly fashion of thinking. According to Stiyl Magnus, Angels and Devils are similar in nature, however, the important thing is who they take orders from. Although, they can malfunction and in turn can be called a Fallen angel, or known as demons.
Vento of the Front explains that Angels in the magic side have no free will of their own and that they are meant to be God's perfect tools, and are often referred to as messengers of God to humanity. Indeed, as Gabriel can attest, he can hide his being an angel from humans quite easily. In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, Angels hid their identities to enter ordinary people's cities and had meals with them. If deemed necessary, like a command from God, or being forced down from Heaven, an angel can acquire a human form. Īngels, both divine and artificial, have been described as possessing halos above their heads and various forms of wings manifesting from their backs, some of which such as the case of Archangel Gabriel can reach several kilometers into the sky, as well as speaking in an Angelic language that sounds like high-pitched gibberish to normal humans. Kamijou Touma views from afar the radiant wings of an angel that reach up towards the sky.
Angels of divine origin get their magical power from an energy accumulated in Heaven known as Telesma. They can be beings of either divine origin, such as the Archangels Gabriel and Michael of Christian doctrine, or artificial existences consisting of masses of highly concentrated AIM fields built-up from the thousands of espers within Academy City. Angels ( 天使, Tenshi ?) are immensely powerful beings with very volatile existences in the Toaru Majutsu no Index universe.
