Levitation

Levitation is the magical ability to defy gravity and propel oneself into the air and move around. It is a weaker form of Flight, a power which this power may eventually evolve into.

Variations
There are a number of ways to use this power:
 * Rise off the ground for recreationally use, meditation, to evade attacks or to even stop yourself from fall.
 * Rise off the ground and then glide to another destination.
 * Access Agility and Super Strength in combat.
 * Focus on a object/s, then have it levitate.
 * Touch or Focus to make another being levitate off the ground and rise high up into the air.
 * Touch a magical power to make it float in the air.

Rising
Rising is the ability to lift yourself before or after you fall to the ground. This can happen on reflex, however, it's really a skill; a user can master overtime. One memorable user of this power was Yen Lo. He, like Phoebe, possessed the gift of levitation. While in Limbo, his gift was greatly enhanced, allowing him to rise after being struck down.

Another user of this power was Phoebe, she also had this power because of her levitation. During a battle with the Source, Phoebe levitated horizontally and kicked him, she then prevents herself from falling to the floor by immediately lifting herself up magically.

Agility


Agility is the power to become very agile, heighten your reflexes, and amplify your speed. This skill, if connected to levitation, will allow oneself to defy gravity and manipulate their body into nearly impossible angles and positions to dodge and evade magical powers. Phoebe can access agility; this contributes greatly to her skills in hand to hand combat and enhances her chance of diverting demonic threats.

Projective Levitation


Projective Levitation is the ability to make objects and people defy gravity and levitate by focusing on the desired target, then have it levitate off the ground and rise high up into the air.

Phoebe can access this aspect of the power. She found that she could extend her levitation powers to levitate other people and objects, so long as she establish and maintain physical contact with them. One powerful display, was when Phoebe levitated a Orb-Shield which contained herself, her two sisters and Leo. This ability is also shown in Phoebe's alternate future, when she kills Cal Green.

Gliding
Gliding is the ability to rise up into the air, at an height chosen by the user, and journey forward to another destination without your feet ever touching the ground. This is the only aspect which allows the user to travel through the air, essentially accessing a lesser version of flight. This ability is similar to Floating, although it can be used at any height.

Only a few users can access this aspect of their power. Sigmund a teacher at magic school, could glide through the air. However, he admits that levitation was not his favorite gift, as he was afraid of heights. Phoebe can access a limited aspect of gliding, and can only travel short distances.

Leaping
Another aspect of Levitation is Leaping. It's ability to leap off the ground and through the air in a forward direction, reaching great heights and covering long distances, to journey to another destination.

With leaps and jumps, you will have to make contact with the ground to continuously propel yourself in the air. These contacts will be rare, depending on how much distances you can cover with one leap or jump and how far your destination is.

Banshees have the ability to leap, though it's unknown if they possess the full power of Levitation.

Fighting


This power is a very powerful defense, allowing one to merely jump out of the way of a threat, rather it be demonic or human. The possessor can avoid demonic assaults and offensive powers, such as Energy Balls and Fire Balls. This power can also be used in an offensive manner, such as rising in the air and kicking an individual. It can also be used to barrage and whiplash your opponents. Phoebe Halliwell is able to apply both of these methods.

While using Levitation in combat your blows will have a devastating effect, these powerful blows simulate super-strength and will send opponents great distances away whenever they are hit. Once this power progresses to that stage, it always stays in it's powerful state; even if it gets stolen by another being. Their blows will have the same destructive effect as the natural owner. Phoebe often relies on this side-effect of her power to wreak devastation on her opponent.

Control
Phoebe activated this power by lifting her arms into the air, and mainly used it to dodge demonic attacks or mixed it with her martial arts skills, she also used it passively, in order to meditate.

When she first received her ability, she was unable to control it properly as it was new for her. She was unable to move through the air without assistance, so Prue would use Telekinesis to maneuver her into the right direction.

Overtime, and as her power grew, she required no assistance to move herself. She was able to accomplish this feat naturally, combining it more and more with her martial arts.

Flight
The power advancement of Levitation is the ability to defy gravity and propel oneself through the air at great heights and speed. Premature advancements can happen, when a user enters limbo or if the user is shrunk to five inches or less.

A shrunken Phoebe once pointed out that she can "kind of fly" because she is so small and light, suggesting that Levitation power has some connection to the weight of the user. Meaning the lighter you are the higher you go up, and the heavier you are the less you go up.

These indicates that the power of Levitation, overtime, could advance to Flight..

Simulating Levitation


Telekinetic's can use their power to levitate themselves. This allows them to defy gravity momentarily, but does not allow sustained hovering. An example of this is Prue Halliwell, a telekinetic witch.

Prue was seen levitating herself numerous times, such as the time when she fought the demonic wrestlers. During this battle Prue leaped into the air and kicked both of them in the face.

Users can also land safely when falling/jumping from great heights, evident by Matthew Tate, who copied and used Prue's Telekinesis to jump out from her office window and land unharmed.
