Energy ball



Energy Balls is an offensive power used by many demons, and even some witches and warlocks. ("Exit Strategy") The user can form balls of energy (which resemble electrical discharges) in their hand, and throw them at targets with varying levels of voltage. They can also dissipate and control the energy ball while still in their hand.

Inspector Rodriguez is the first evil being the Charmed Ones encounter with this power. Belthazor also possessed this particular power, as do several other demons such as Zotars, a breed of demonic bounty hunters. ("Déjà Vu All Over Again," "Sleuthing with the Enemy"). It is a common, deadly, and effective power, worthy of frequent use in the Demonic Community.

Later in the series, some witches are shown to possess this power, notably the morally ambiguous Montana and Callaway families, Bianca and other Phoenix witches. While usually blue, some demons have shown to create red energy balls. ("Bite Me") ("Soul Survivor") Cole once created a huge, powerful energy ball, with which he attempted to vanquish the Source, but instead killed the Oracle. ("Brain Drain") Darklighters and evil witches with Darklighter ancestry also seem to have this power.

Energy balls appear to be able to be deflected using mirrors, as seen when Cole tries to commit suicide, he throws an energy ball at a mirror, which rebounds and hits him, setting him on fire. Energy balls seem to be deflected by hard durable objects. Once, during an episode ("There's Something About Leo") where the Charmed Ones were being faced by three demons with energy balls, Phoebe hit an energy ball with a crowbar, baseball style, and sent it back towards the demons, effectively vanquishing them. However, cars and other technology catch on fire, exploding, when they are hit by an energy ball. This is seen in multiple episodes. In the episode ("Death Takes A Halliwell"), Cole throws an energy ball and it splits in two, heading towards the two Seekers. So Energy Balls can be linked to the mind of the bearer.

Energy balls normally kill the target instantly. However, some demons are powerful enough that they can withstand the blast. Also, the Charmed Ones eventually grew powerful enough that they could withstand being hit by them.
