Angels embody the largest ideals, such as justice and truth. Once a soul has transcended, an angel's body is comprised of 'meta-sigils,' the physical manifestations of world-magic drawn from the essence of the land and sky. As long as any mortal conformed tightly to Bant's ideals, the light of their soul would transubstantiate into an angelic state.

In the Shard of Alara called Bant, there are angels who are thought to be ultimate representations of its society's ideals. While angels are normally confined to specific Shards of the sundered plane, the Conflux has led to the creation of Maelstrom Archangels that wield the power of all five kinds of mana. Angel is the iconic creature for the color white. The first creature to bear the type was Serra Angel from Alpha.

Almost all known angels are female, intentionally so, though Amonkhet's appear to be male and male angels also exist in Kaldheim and in Capenna. Often worshiped as divine beings, angels are manifestations of predominantly white mana (the original description of Serra angels imply that their bodies are constructs inhabited by holy spirits ), though some have been corrupted with black mana, and angels from various planes have boasted traits from each of the other colors. 2.12.2 Angels of Despair and Deathpact AngelsĪngel is a creature type used for humanoid beings with large, sometimes feathered, wings on their backs.
