I agree his are Powers a not part of his identity, I just really like then and think that if the writers hadn’t toned them down so much it could be really useful in combat (as it once was). But yeah, Angels are sadly nearly extinct at this point, and even if he kept acess to Angel Radio there wouldn’t be much to hear. I just think that while he barely dosen’t need or use his Powers anymore (or have most of them), it would be cool to have him become human and somehow keep at least a part of them.

They are literally toned down BECAUSE they’re too useful in combat. I believe it was the season 9 DVD (or was it season 8?) where Misha Collins himself addresses *exactly this*, by reviewing that Cas is in concept too OP and that’s why the authors nerf him in various ways and he understands that, because it’s HOW they manage to keep Cas around and keep him relevant without being able to Deus Ex Boopica all their problems away.

He’s already nerfed as an angel, I see no reason whatsoever to hold onto any of that when the point itself is that he can be useful and complete without them.
