Rulings
- : The Angel won't lose the ability it gains if it stops being an Angel after the ability resolves.
- : The enlightenment counter placed by the last ability serves as a memory aid. It isn't connected to the granted ability. The Angel keeps that ability even if it loses the counter. Similarly, if the counter is somehow moved to another permanent, that permanent doesn't gain the ability.
