Raphael can use these soul charges to cast more powerful spells.
Raphael's {{SAI|Fiendish Ascension}} ability will let him take on a more powerful form (see the ''Ascended'' tab in the info box at the top of this page). He may use this to transform whenever a pillar is broken, and each destroyed pillar will give him another Soul Charge.
=== Phase two ===
When all soul pillars have been destroyed Raphael will permanently transform into his Ascended Fiend form. When transforming into his fiend form for this final time, the four broken soul pillars will give him four final soul charges.
At this stage, he may use his most powerful attack, {{SAI|Ravaging Inferno}}, costing 2 soul charges and dealing 20d6 Hellfire damage in a {{AOE|radius|m=4|ft=}}.


Raphael's {{SAI|Fiendish Ascension}} ability will let him take on a more powerful form (see the ''Ascended'' tab in the info box at the top of this page). He may use this to transform whenever a pillar is broken.  
He will also now be able to use his {{SAI|Multiattack (Raphael)|Multiattack}}. This attack does 2d16 slashing, plus his attack modifier, which is +5 while he is in his ascended form. It also grants him {{cond|Action Surge}}, so he may use his multiattack again, possibly attacking four times in one round. Once all his soul charges are depleted, Raphael will only be able to use his multiattack.

* Take care when using {{DamageType|radiant}} damage against Raphael and his [[Cambion]]s, as they both have conditions that let them take reactions against it.
