Liber Canticorum, pp. 59-60. Corporeal penetrates disguises, Ethereal lets you know if someone thinks he's lying, and Celestial imposes a Seraph-like restriction on the target, though it can be resisted.
There are certainly ways that torture can be used to create a certain mindset in a victim, where you give him a lesson in what happens when you discover him failing to tell you the truth, for example. It's very unlikely to be effective in a quick-and-dirty "tell me the secret codes before the bomb goes off" situation, which is generally what RPGs are going to cover.
Note that there's a definite difference in the limited effectiveness of damaging a celestial's "meat suit" and the potential effectiveness of inflicting such catastrophic damage on a normal human that it would take a miracle to survive... and providing that miracle, even when death would be a mercy.
