About angel names
Most results stage a complete entrance, opening with a sign like "A crackling of lightning and what sounds like angelic singing" before moving through eyes, wings, and a held object such as "a golden spear". Read the long passages aloud when a divine messenger interrupts a session, and keep the short closing lines as beats inside your own prose.
How angel names are built
This builds a scene, not a name. A single long template fires the whole apparition in one breath: two omens mark the angel's coming, a being of described stature and bearing takes shape and stands in front of you, its gaze acts on you while a detail of light or silence deepens, its body and clothing are fixed, and a final gesture lands with a closing effect. Fifteen banks feed the slots, and a second one-line template adds a departing coda such as 'The light gutters out, and you are alone once more'. Roll once for a complete encounter.
A pressure builds behind your eyes and a soundless weight in the room mark the coming of an angel. Forming where the silence is thickest, a being broad-shouldered in stature and bearing a mouth that does not move stands in front of you. It looks past you at something far off, and the hairs on your arms stand up while motes of gold drift around its head its purpose still hidden from you. Their weightless-seeming body remains poised on the verge of motion and is marked with sigils across the chest. They fold their wings with a sound like pages, and you are certain you have been changed.

The wind drops to nothing and a soundless weight in the room mark the coming of an angel. Condensing from falling sparks, a being towering in stature and bearing eyes that show no pupil stands in front of you. It blinks once, slowly, and the silence presses harder still while feathers stir without any wind though it offers no name. Their weightless-seeming body breathes in a rhythm you can feel and is robed in grey that drinks the glare. They speak a word you do not recognize, and the weight in the room begins to lift.

Naming notes
Read the long output verbatim as boxed text when an angel appears in play; it is written second-person ('stands in front of you', 'a deep calm settles into your bones') so it drops straight into narration. The final gesture carries the weight, wings folded with a sound like pages read as benediction while a fingertip pressed to your brow reads as a claim, so reroll that beat to set the mood. The short template is a departing coda you can append or use alone to end a vision.
Questions about angel names
- Does this generate angel names?
- No, it writes an arrival scene. Each long result is second-person boxed text describing how the angel forms, what its presence does to you, and the gesture it leaves you with, plus a short coda template for the moment it departs.
- How long is a typical output?
- The main template runs four to five sentences as one connected apparition. The second template is a single short line meant as a departing coda you can read on its own or tack onto the end.
- Can I read this straight to my players?
- Yes. It is already written in second person ('stands in front of you', 'the hairs on your arms stand up'), so it works as read-aloud boxed text the moment an angel appears.
