Capability
Some are invisible, some are made of energy, some are pulled up from the earth. Many powers allow users to generate Force-fields. They may be nearly any shape or size and may be created from nearly any items including Light energy, Stone, or Air Currents. Many Magic users create force-fields to protect themselves from incoming attack. Force-fields are not impenetrable usually requiring an energy drain or extreme weight to be broken. Some users may be able to throw shields away from themselves or to catch things with them. Other users may be able to mold them into any shape.

Limitations

 * Some users may be limited on size
 * Some users may only be allowed to create barriers specific to their other powers at a low level.
 * Some users may be limited on the shape their barriers can take at low level.
 * Users may not be able to maintain barriers under stress
 * Users may only be allowed to keep barriers up for a certain amount of time
 * Attack on barriers may cause equivalent damage to users mind or body
 * Some users may require great concentration.
 * Some targets may not be held in or contained by barriers
 * Some targets may be immune to barriers restrictions
 * Requires focus to create and/or maintain.

Associations

Universe Differences
