| abstract | - User with this ability either is or can transform into an Cherubim, one of the few defined forms of angels. Being high-ranking angelic beings, it is likely that they don't have any true, fixed form, which explains both the difficulty and variety of how they are described. From the Biblical sources, there are two kinds of descriptions about Cherubim: Old Testament:
* They had a human likeness, but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. As for the likeness of the living creatures, heir appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, were full of eyes round about. New Testament/Revelation:
* Full of eyes in front and behind: first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight. And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within.
