Abilities & Powers

Smiting

Castiel can smite regular tier demons and monsters, burning them out of existence with divine power. He usually does this via touch with demons, but against low powered monsters has been seen releasing a lot of energy in a blast of white light to smite them without touching them.

Immortality/Invulnerability

Angels are to varying extents impervious to or unbothered by damage to their vessels, and can maintain the state of their vessel as they took it, requiring no sleep, nourishment or regular human "maintenance" of any physical aspects, as well as regenerate damage to the body nearly instantaneously (physical wounds as well as damage to the clothing). Physical damage to the vessel is implied to hurt angels to varying degrees based on their power level/level of impact. Castiel reacts to being shot with a shotgun with annoyance, is unbothered by being stabbed, and can take a physical beating from a non-powered-human without any issues (humans with superhuman strengths/other creatures can still superficially wound him, though).

Healing (Others/Himself)

Castiel can heal any physical damage to a body, including his own, as well as detect and purge some natural infections/illnesses, eradicate long-term disabilities, and even reattach limbs/appendages shortly after their loss/removal.

Technopathy

She can broadcast things she hears or senses while in the Void through radios, speakers, televisions, computer screens or other sound- and image-generating devices.

Resurrection

Castiel can resurrect the recently deceased and bring them back to life. This costs him a tremenous amount of power when not backed by Heaven itself.

Eleven's powers have been shown to fail in the past after great strain, like a drained battery that needs to recharge. Her powers are not without limit; on the contrary they seem to be a pool of energy she can tap into at will as long as she lets herself 'recharge'. At the end of Season 3, after the canon point of her death for this game, she has to exert tremendous amounts of power to keep fighting Russian military as well as the Mind Flayer again and again, and rip a piece of it out from under her own skin.

Flying/Teleportation

Angels have wings. However, in Supernatural, the wings aren't typically shown to be physical. They CAN be, because in a later season we know that an angel feather was used as a spell ingredient, and we see angels wrapping those shadows around themselves/others to shield against magical damage. However, it seems angels tend to keep their wings cloaked/invisible, though when an angel powers up, the shadows of those wings can be seen behind them. Their flight is much more akin to telportation across vast distances and to any unwarded location of their choosing, though the instantaneous moving through space is accompanied by the rustling of feathers, meaning wings are for sure being flapped. Depending on canon point, Castiel's wings might be badly damage but present, meaning he might not be able to fly (post Season 8).

Mind Reading

Castiel can skim surface thoughts without much effort to gain deeper insight into people, as well as actively read their minds with more effort, and perceive the state of their soul to an extent. Through this, Castiel can sense/detect the location of humans who are not warded from his senses. He also seems to gain an understand of animal minds, as he can tell when dogs are upset, is seen interrogating a cat, and can detect the messages in a honeybee's flight pattern.

Prayers

Like all angels, Castiel can hear prayers, which allows him to locate a person. Listening to just any prayer requires him to tune in to what the show refers to as "angel radio", a frequency on wich angels communicate mentally with one another, and where hey can tap into prayers. However, prayers directed at Castiel he can pick out even without opening his senses to "angel radio". The prayer can take the form of a formal prayer, or a strong feeling of longing or need to talk.

Clairsentience

Castiel can see the true "face" of angels, demons and leviathan, and see through the Veil, as in he can see creatures invisible to the human eye like ghosts and reapers. This in combination with his psychic abilities can lead him to detect the true nature of a creature.

Mind/Memory Manipulation

Castiel has been shown to be able to manipulate and erase memories. He only ever does it in canon upon other people's request, and even though he can do it, doesn't use it on his friends even when doing so would clearly benefit him. Castiel respects free will too much for that. He has used it under specific circumstances at the behest of others. In addition we also see him manipulate other character's ability to perceive him by cloaking himself from them - physically present but unseen. In one instance, he touches a security guard and alters his mind to be unable to perceive any other person in the room, even though they're all physically present.

Sleep/Dream Manipulation & Dreamwalking

With a touch, Castiel can make people and certain low-powered creatures fall into a deep slumber. Castiel and other angels have been shown to be able to enter the dreams of humans to communicate with them. And see what they're dreaming of. Additionally, Castiel is able to manipulate sleeping humans to prevent them from experiencing nightmares, or even to sleep more deeply than they naturally would to prevent them from waking prematurely.

Telekinesis

Castiel isn't seen to use this too often, but he does have some level of ability to blast open doors, move objects, shut off car alarms with the wave of a hand.

Super Strength & Endurance

Angels are far stronger than humans and even most demons, and more resilient, shown to lift objects impossibly heavy for humans, or punch one another through walls.

True Form/Vessel

Castiel is possessing someone else's body. That someone else is Jimmy Novak, who died and passed on to Heaven after Castiel was killed for the first time. The body has since been destroyed a few more times, and been restored, sparing Castiel from having to possess a new vessel. Angels can only possess people if they consent to it (though manipulation to gain said consent is apparently allowed). The experience is typically not pleasant to downright tortuous for the host as long as the angel is in control, but the angel can be dormant/unnoticed and leave the host in control. Theoretically, with consent, Castiel could possess the bodies of other characters.

Additionally of note is the fact that few humans are able to perceive an angel's true form. Despite his warnings, a psychic uses her abilities to see Castiel once, and it burns out her eyes. Longer exposure results in death. The true voice of an angel, similarly, can damage ear drums, shake buildings and break glass. Castiel once claims that his true form is "the size of the Chrysler Building." Suffice to say: No one wants to see him forced out of his vessel.

Hunting Basics

Castiel has gained some basic skills in the life of a hunter as per Supernatural's interpretation of the term, which means he's learned some moderate investigative skills as well as an improved understanding of how to track supernatural entities without the use of his powers.

Swordfighting

Castiel typically wields an angel blade, a weapon that all angels possess and can summon at will. While he won't have access to the angel blade in WSH, billions of years wielding it make it reasonable for him to apply his skills to similar weapons.

Other Combat Basics

Castiel has wielded guns in the past, and even depowered has been seen getting into physical hand-to-hand fights. While his powers have not made it necessary for him to gain in depth knowledge at hand-to-hand and shooting guns, he has a base competence there that would put him ahead of untrained civilians, but does not rival trained humans and would have to be expanded upon to make him worthwhile with anything but a sword while depowered.

Knowledge: Language

Castiel has watched all of humanity since its creation, and knows all living/dead human languages in addition to Enochian, the language of angels. He's been seen translating old scripts, identifying languages, and reading/performing ritualistic spells.

Knowledge: Supernatural/Spellworks/Mythology/Lore

As an angel turned ally to hunters turned hunter, Castiel has a wide variety of knowledge regarding supernatural entities, spells, warding sigils, ancient lore, etc. His knowledge is by no means all-encompassing, and we see that especially regarding very ancient evils that predate angels Castiel lacks knowledge. In a setting like WSH, of course, when confronted with non-human threats he might have his assumptions about how to handle them based on pre-existing knowledge from his own world, but as a player I'm aware his knowledge or understanding might not hold up to other iterations of supernatural beings and circumstances.

Knowledge: Other

In addition to the above, by nature of what he is, Castiel has a vast knowledge of history, religion (specifically Christianity, though Supernatural implies that from the angels' perspective, humanity got a lot wrong about it), quantum physics and other laws of science/mathematics. Still somewhat mystified by computers, though.

Torture

While not choosing to employ this skill often, Castiel has been depicted apt at physically and supernaturally torturing people and monsters to get what he wants, even while de-powered.

Retail and Other Human Skills

Post Season 8 Only: When temporarily human, Castiel has worked as a sales clerk in a gas station and been responsible for operating the till and keeping the place running. He also learned how to drive a car, and can navigate by map (though canon off-hand implies he has an impeccable understanding of direction, it's unclear whether that's tied to him being an angel, or just a regular human level skillset)

Weaknesses

Angel Blades

Every angel has a blade they can materialize and dematerialize at will. Being stabbed with one such blade kills an angel, even if the stab wound itself would not be lethal. Being nicked with an angel blade is not fatal, however such a wound heals more slowly than other damage suffered. Such a blade can also be used to cut a vessel open to the Grace, instead of just cutting into the physical body, exposing an angel's true essence.

Archangels

Archangels can kill lower powered angels with a snap of their fingers, literally.

Holy Fire

Holy Oil set aflame can be used to physically contain an angel, as they cannot cross the Holy Fire. They would be incinerated and die.

Divine Weapons

Weapons made by angels can typically kill other angels (such as the Lance of Michael).

Spells

Castiel is susceptible to some spells, though he's generally more resistant to them than humans, or is affected in ways different from humans. When the demon Meg jokes that reading a book wouldn't kill him, he tells her that a book containing the right spells might.

Other Weaknesses

Angelic warding sigils and banishing sigils, very powerful supernatural entities like high tier angels and demons, powerful spellcasters/spells.

Personality Flaws

Castiel can be prideful and arrogant, painfully blunt, lack empathy, and be self-sacrificial. He no longer would consider sacrificing anything else withe the same sort of reckless abandon in the name of a cause, but will absolutely put himself in harm's way and certain death to ensure the safety of others. His self-preservation stops where others are affected - or where he's guilt ridden and considers the punishment fitting the crime, or considers himself just that expendable.

Additionally, Castiel has massive guilt over his role in Heaven's civil war, in which he went to increasingly great and dark lengths to fight against his brother Raphael's forces, which included killing angels working against him, making deals with demons, lying to his friends, hurting his friends, and ingesting monster souls to power himself up, which corrupted him so much he declared himself God and laid waste to Heaven, killing everyone who supported Raphael in the civil war or otherwise stood against him. This is the core of Castiel's suicidal ideations and depression, his need to find penance, and why he considers himself breaking everything he touches.
