	This way of fighting is supposed to be incredibly difficult to master, and can take years of training to perfect. It takes a lot of skill to wear [[Sisters of Battle Armour\|Sisters of Battle power armour]] without a black carapace, while dual wielding pistols, while flying. The level of dexterity, battlefield awareness and requirement of Faith means that outside of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] or [[Officio Assassinorum]], the Seraphim are perhaps the most elite "un-augmented human" formations available to the Imperium. It also means that only the most exceptional candidates are selected for initiation into the Seraphim and many battle sisters never get the opportunity to join them. Therefore the Seraphim are considered a type of veteran and are given much latitude and deference from their commanders and allies.

	Typically once a Sister finds her calling as a Seraphim, that's where she will stay for the rest of her career. Becoming a [[Celestians\|Celestian]] is a separate promotion for experienced and honoured, but ultimately ordinary sisters. However the need for individuals of high skill and pure faith often means that Seraphim are pulled out of their units to become squad commanders of less experienced Battle Sisters, where the former Seraphim can train and inspire them into better warriors.
