 * Dark Kaia's Spear - For reasons unknown, this spear can injure Michael (and presumably the other Archangels as well) as seen when he was stabbed in the shoulder by her. Unlike the archangel blades, the wielder can be human and still harm him enough for Dean to want to obtain it and use it against him. This spear may also harm the other archangels as well.
