Prom, I just had an idea for raphael’s law.

I’m not going to lie, I was kinda inspired by a certain recent media but, here it goes

So, Raphael is the archangel of mercy, right? You’ve described her before as being nice in comparison to her siblings. And if I recall, the heavenly mercy’s original purpose was to ‘save’, which is why it had so many fallen angels (I know this was retconned but still). So it’d make sense of Raphael’s law wasn’t meant for direct combat and was instead used to save others. Something like regression. Whenever hit by the law itself, fallen angels and demons will find their existence shifting backwards towards their initial angel-like form. They’ll lose any new powers they’ve obtained, their souls and inner worlds being reset to their factory settings. The law could function like the original spear of truth, where it doesn’t manifest as a normal weapon, seeing as Raphael’s main shtick is logos. If used against people who aren’t of angelic heritage, then all it’ll do is regress their inner worlds back, similar to Gnosis’s regression chamber. I also like to believe that the law can be defended against by people with an immense and absolute will, so that could explain how someone like Lucifer could survive it (seeing as it was hinted they both battled briefly).

Could that work?
