A Less Formal Explanation for the Creation of Demonreach
raidem:
I wondered about the following.
Sure we have seen an Archangel give up his grace. Why can't a Fallen do something similar.
Say, why can't Anduriel decide to give up his 'grace' to another. Could Mac simply have been some angel that decided to give up his 'grace' to another, it doesn't neccessarily need to be Raphael.

I wonder something along these lines happens when someone picks up one of the Coins. Could it be that the power you get is essentially their "Grace" (or whatever the Hell equivelent is)?

Given the sort of power they're talking about re: Uriel's grace, and the sort of power we see the Denarians throwing around, I doubt it. Even taking into account the differences between Archangels and regular Angels.
Plus, I don't see the fallen angels being the kind of things willing to just let someone else take the controls of their power like that.

We never see Michael do anything with the grace he's given. It's very possible that were Michael to try and actually use that vast power source for something his fragile mortal body would be annihilated. Also, it might well be the fact that the reason the Denarians are weaker is because they are not letting their host get full control of it. We've already been told that the Denarians without free will (e.g. Magog) are weaker than the ones that cooperate (e.g. Deidre, Nic). Thing is, even with Nic you see Anduriel doing thing independantly (moving the Shadow around and glowing eyes). Maybe if a Fallen were to really let go and give full control to it's host you could get even greater power.
