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.

Castiel obliges Lenore's request; as he touches her head a light shines out of her eyes and mouth, causing her face to flame up and killing her.

===[[11.22 We Happy Few]]===
While discussing how to defeat [[Amara]] with [[God]] and [[Lucifer]], Dean remembers that the angel's mass-smiting actually hurt Amara.

After five [[witch]]es hit Amara with a magical attack, [[Heaven]] sends down another blast which Amara once again takes without resistance. Though not having an effect on her to the same degree as the first time, Amara is weakened by the blast, allowing a horde of [[demon]]s to attack and a strike by Lucifer with his spear to defeat her.
