Doesn't have to just be physical damage. Servants can learn Celestial Light as well as anybody else. The key is that the GM has to be wary about what it's likely for a demonling or a soldier to have learned. If the GM doesn't specifically say "no" (I learned the hard way), it's pretty easy to craft a Servant that acts as an extension of the PC's Song and Skill set. On the surface, it ends up looking much more points-effective to give your PC all the roleplaying-oriented Songs, Skills, and Attunements she needs, and then just buy a bodyguard with Corporeal Shields 6, Dodge 6 (to dodge INTO blows targeting the PC), and Numinous Corpus Tail 6, which my player calculated is the NC song with the greatest damage per turn potential...
