Smiting is an ability inherent in all angels, allowing them to kill anything with a single touch. When an angel places their hand on whomever they wish to smite, the being's face becomes consumed with light, leaving their eye-sockets burned out and liquefying their insides. [[Alastair]] was able to deflect Castiel's attempts to smite him in [[4.10 Heaven and Hell]], and due to [[Leviathan]]s predating angels, they appeared to be immune as well.
The [[Host of Heaven]] is able to combine their powers into one single focused blast of energy. Smiting of this magnitude has such power that it can cause fallout which can poison the area for miles. This fallout can negatively effect humans in proximity to ground zero, inducing a [[smiting sickness]], which can lead to death (or , in the case of Lot's wife, transformation into a pillar of salt)which resulted in the creation of [[Lot's Salt]]. Smiting of this magnitude rarely happens on Earth, with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah being the only known mass smiting before the arrival of [[Amara]].
