Is sunny happy with the sheets born from this contest?

Wow, thanks everybody. This was a great prompt to work with, and seeing the other creative sheets posted was even better.
I'll try to think of a decent topic (and get to those reviews eventually).
This was a very fun prompt, congrats Express.
Can't wait for next month's theme!
The Act of dozing off in the afternoon is a luxury indeed.
Coffee would be nice, though.

Now Revamped!
Very!
I worry when I come up with a prompt if it'll be interesting or too weird for everyone - so to see people enjoy it made me really happy and everyone took it in very fascinating directions! It was hard to pick top choices this month, aside from my bias towards plants and nature, because just about all of them felt very creative and very Type-Moon.
Great job, Express. ^^ Looking forward to what you pick and to rejoining next month, eheh.

I didn’t win so I’m gonna be a sore loser and start trash talking everyone that did better than me to make myself feel better. As always, everything I say is absolutely true for I am the one true master. It is for this reason that I can attach arbitrary and ultimately meaningless numerical values to each sheet and not feel ashamed by how pretentious that is.

I'm sad that I lost, but I'm glad that I lost to such amazing sheets. Bravo to everyone! That being said, I really, really want to know how I got a lot of votes...

Our winner express has decided that our topic this month will be "Angels."
stuff to get juices flowing
"An angel? What about this is like an angel?"
"The image of angels as human-like with wings has become pretty popular, but it was really influenced primarily by the images of the goddess of victory, Nike, of 4th Century Greek mythology. Angels can actually be divided into a number of lineages. In this case, it might best serve to start with an explanation of what angels really are."
Stroking his chin, my master continued to speak in a grumbling tone.
"The first are those living things which exist above and beyond myths, which have been reclassified as angels. The second are beings born from the authority of a previous master, that became angels in the process of becoming independent. There are any number of hypotheses, but the Throne you are looking at is probably closer to the former. Taking its master's Power into itself, it is an angel whose primary purpose is just to carry it."
"So it's a wheel, because it's being used to carry that Power?"
"The current interpretation is the opposite, actually. It seems likely that this angel is used to carry Power because its a wheel. Take a look at the Bible. In the writings of the prophet Ezekiel, where there is a description of his 'eyes captured by the face of a wheel shining like beryl.""First, let's start with the Angels you spoke of, the messengers of God. That's also correct. In fact, the Angels used in Magecraft draw their foundations from those ones. The abilities of these Angels who deliver the blessings of God are important to Magi in the modern era. Particularly, the use of Angels is currently in a state of being reinvented by modern Magi."
...
In short, the system of Elements was used as a system of classification out of convenience, but starting with the rise of modern Magecraft at the end of the 19th century, that's begun to change. With the addition of the Concept of Angels to the system, they have been given a new meaning."
"A new meaning?"
"Correct."
Watching me to gauge how well I was understanding what he was saying, he continued to speak.
"The 'Vessels of Power' that a great number of people now believe in."
...
A Shrine is a place where God can manifest temporarily. And Angels are 'Vessels of Power.' So in this case, the relationship between the two is...
"So...does that mean the name Angel is just given to anything with an ambiguous magical nature, and are being used by magecraft?"
"Correct."
Still on the sofa, my master picked up the now long-cold tea and put it to his lips.
"Before, I mentioned that as more people believe in them, Concepts become more stable. That being the case, it wouldn't be strange for someone to think that they could use this wide spread Concept of Angels to stabilize the existence of Magecraft. Actually, if you look at a number of different magical societies, you can find many who find this way of thinking exceedingly alluring."
Putting the cup down, my master raised two fingers.
Using his fingers, he drew a pentagram in the air before him, whispering something like 'Before me Raphael, Behind me Gabriel' under his breath.
"That was what is called the Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram. It calls on the names of the Four Archangels, each representing one of the four elements, to consecrate an area or prepare for further various applications of Magecraft. Of course, something as simple as this prayer could be found easily in a magazine nowadays. Of course, rituals like this that flow throughout the world are almost all dummies, just observational, or just plain nonsense, so the Clock Tower just leaves them as they are."
....
"That being said, the changes of a Concept do have an effect on Magecraft," my master murmured.
In the cup now left on the table, ripples were forming on the surface of the tea. It seemed like the ritual my master had performed was having an effect on it, even if a little late.
"Further, it may have simply all just been a part of someone's plan. Rituals that use the name of the Lord to bind demons were in abundant supply in the past. Of course, being Magi, it's not like everyone is a pious follower of Christianity. We simply made use of the universalized concept of the Name of the Lord, under which all things must submit. In recent times, its similar to how an Internet Protocol works - well, I guess that explanation would just confuse you even more. With that line of reasoning, the use of Angels was an inevitable point on the road. Compared to using the Name of the Lord, it's a much easier Concept to make use of after all."
That I understood.
The Concept of God was one that had a distinct "colour" to it. You could also call it faith. In comparison to that, Angels came in many variations, like Guardian Angels and Fallen Angels. For this reason, the kinds of rituals that could be used exploiting Angels was far greater.
And that was why my master had called it a reinvention.
"Now, the development of new Magecraft in the West is almost entirely dominated by the influence of these Angels. No, it's not actually limited to new Magecraft. It may be subtle, but the Concept of Angels almost certainly has an effect on all Magecraft. For the modern Magus, whether the goal is to make use of Angels or eliminate them, in some form they are conscious of any changes that occur in regards to them."
My master closed his eyes. Then slowly, as if sighing,
"In a way, it's safe to say that the modern Magus is in the business of collecting Angels."
It seems to me this is a prompt where you can go easy mode or go down the rabbit hole into hardmode supreme.
Either way, good luck.

Hoo boy, time to bust out my knowledge of weird obscure biblical stories. I think we're in for a wild ride this time.
Well, I guess it's time to break out my copy of A Certain Magical Index
Do I join and embarrass myself, or just stay out of this one
Decisions.
I feel absolutely haraam.
