Can Eli Strike or Mend a heart?
Am curious if Eli can strike or Mend a heart currently. or would That neccessitate him showing his face in heaven, likely leading to him being arrested by Dominic?

Re: Can Eli Strike or Mend a heart?
Canonically, there's little if any data.
My thought is that Eli is the Archangel of Creation, and thus would be able to create a new Heart anywhere... but mending or breaking an existing Heart would be beyond him if he isn't in Heaven. And I have no idea what would happen to a Celestial with two Hearts, one of them damaged.

Re: Can Eli Strike or Mend a heart?
Superiors can inflict and remove dissonance from their Servitors, so he could easily drop 6 points of dissonance to auto-trip the Servitor, and then (if feeling nice) remove the dissonance.
Mend? Seems trickier. However, it's canon that he can create a Heart, as Euodias(LS p114) is a Bright of Creation; if he hadn't provided her with a Heart she'd simply be a Novalite. So I assume so. |

Where do Angels of Creation keep their Hearts, by the way? I don't have my books around, being at work and procrastinating writing a court letter, but I think I remember reading somewhere that at least some of them deliberately hide their Hearts. Or am I mistaken? If they hid their Hearts, they would have to meet Eli on the Corporeal Plane, tell him their Heart needs mending and where it is stowed. Maybe giving Eli easier access to their Hearts in an emergency might be why they hid them, with hiding making it harder to just post a Reliever to monitor it and give a signal to the Inquisition as soon as Eli shows up? Still, the most difficult thing for our unlucky Heart-cracked servitors would be finding Eli to tell him of their misery, at least if they wanted to avoid the Disturbance invoking him would cause. And even if they found him, they would have to get his attention and remind him that he is an Archangel and not a Bob Marley-cosplayer. M.
