Spirit of Asbeel

In the Aeon of the Champion story series, Spirit of Asbeel is a phrase used by angels of Heaven to refer to situations where a person might commit sinful activity because it pleases the heart (or 'feels' good).

It's an allusion to Asbeel, a senior Earth Watcher angel and trusted assistant to Shemyaza, the High Watcher. Asbeel was expected to held advice Shemyaza on how to go about the Re-ordering of the planet Middle-Earth, but rather than following heavenly dogma, he gave the High Watcher false counsel by encouraging him to give into his desires. This led to a full third of the Earth Watchers going through the Fleshing to become mortal, after which they were cast out of Heaven for good.
