Force Field

Force fields, also known as shields or protective bubbles, are energy barriers or spheres that can protect one from other individuals and powers, by deflecting or absorbing the magic, or causing some form of harm to the enemy. The power to create force fields, sometimes called "shielding", is a rare, powerful gift possessed by very few, and can be very helpful in protecting oneself. However, shields can be broken through by several means; either power absorption, spells , or through sheer physical power. Advanced forms of shields look exactly like bubbles.

Greg and Paul Rowe
The first time this power was seen was in "When Bad Warlocks Turn Good". In this episode, the two warlocks in the Rowe Coven (the "Evil Charmed Ones"), had this power. Whenever Greg and Paul Rowe made a hand gesture, an impenetrable wall of energy surrounds them. This is strong enough to repel most magic, as seen when Piper's attempt to freeze Paul and Prue's attempt to throw Greg and Paul aside had no effect.

The Woogyman
The Woogyman used this power on the Halliwell Manor to prevent people from entering. Prue was shocked back when she tried to enter it, and a brick -which Piper threw- was deflected. When Andy left the Manor; Piper froze him at mid point (the only time its guard was down) so they were able to enter. When Piper tried to run out of the house she was shocked back in. Nor Prue or Piper's powers were able to break the Force Field down.

Season 3
In "All Halliwell's Eve" Prue and Phoebe created a Protective Circle made out of natural magic to protect them from the witch hunters, while Piper delivered Charlotte's baby. The circle was able to protect them from the horses and hunters, but wasn´t able to stop bullets.

The Source
The Source once attempted to acquire all of the Charmed Ones powers by manipulating Piper's mind so that she would say the Relinquishing spell in the episode Brain Drain. Outside of Piper's mind if anyone attempted to attack him they would be thrown back by his force field. However the Source was vulnerable while he was inside Piper's mind and his force field began to falter after Cole attacked him with some energy balls.

Cole
Cole possesed the abilty to create magical barriers that could trap others, which allowed him to protect himself or anyone/anything else he wanted, a power he gained in the Demonic Wasteland. In the episode The Importance of Being Phoebe Cole had put a Force Field around his Penthouse, so Phoebe couldn't get out or Leo couldn't hear her call.

Wyatt
This is also one of the powers displayed by Wyatt's, however he manifests an advanced form of this ability so that he can create a "bubble" rather than a wallof energy around him. Wyatt used this in order to protect himself or somebody else, such as with his mother while he was in the womb and later other characters, like his little brother Chris. It can also expand to repel people. Wyatt also displayed the ability to place force fields around objects such as the dollhouse to protect his parents within it.

Goddesses
In Oh My Goddess! Part 2 the Charmed Ones were turned in to Goddesses to combat ancient beings known as the Titans. They used their newfound abilities to create a force field to protect themselves from attack and preventing the Titans from killing an Elder.

The Beast
A mortal named Derek attempted to get his son back from his demon manticore mother and her pack by mixing potions and demonic remains stolen from the Manticores which turned him into a beast-like creature. One of the abilities he possessed was to block all the doors in his house with a Force Field that took Piper several attempts to break through.

The Elders
The Elders were discovered to possess this ability when they were talking to Zankou about the Avatars in the episode Ordinary Witches. Zankou attempted to touch Sandra but was shocked an electrified force field.

Season 8
In 12 Angry Zen the Zodiacs all have the power to shield themselves from harm, this time with a purple force field. Nomed was able to create a shield that knocked the Charmed Ones out, when they tried to stand up.

Paige
Paige Matthews gained the power of shielding some time after the last battle. Paige activates this power by putting her hands in front of her or infront the thing she wants to contain or protect. She first showed this ability in the issue Innocents Lost in an attemp to protect her sister Piper Halliwell and the now grown up Tyler Michaels from a demon pyrokinetic like power attack. After vanquishing two demons another one appeared and attacked the three with his power wich Paige blocks with her orb shield, long enough until the demon stopped and Piper was capable of vanquishing it. The next times that Paige showed this power were when she protected herself from The Source attaks and to contain the explosion caused by his destruction In the issue Three Little Wiccans Paige used this power more offensively by pushing demons back.

Amulet of Protection
In "Exit Strategy" most of the focus of the episode is around two halves of an amulet with the power to protect beings of good. When one half is activated, a blue watery shield of energy (very similar to the one Wyatt can conjure) goes up in front of the user which can only be penetrated by a being of great evil.

Chandelier
In Centennial Charmed we see for the first time that the blue light coming from the chandelier whenever the Power of Three is reborn is a shield itself. It reverted Cole's energy ball and deflected it back at him.

Book of Shadows
The Book of Shadows has the especial ability of repeling evil as the sister's powers grew instead of just jumping off it's stand, a golden-orange electric shield was created when ever an evil being tried to touch it.

Crystal Cage
A crystal cage is made out of five especial crystals that when surround a being a shield is created enabling it from escapping. It's more important use was for trapping the Source.

Cinderella's Pumpkin Carriage
In Happily Ever After, the Wicked witch gave Phoebe Cinderella's glass slippers she turned into Cinderella, when the carriage arrived Phoebe entered it without problem, but when Paige tried it a shield sended her flying forwards.

Transporting Force Fields
The only thing negative about this power is that demons and other beings can still transport the user around while they are inside a force field if they can manage to stay in contact with it. For example, this is seen in this It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Part 1 when Gideon consistently tried to penetrate Wyatt's shield with Electrokinesis. This meant that the bolt of lightning was still touching it and by extension so was Gideon and hence he was able to orb Wyatt in his bubble. Gideon was the only person able to actually penetrate and remove Wyatt's shield using an athame blessed with a spell from the Book of Shadows

Penetrating Force Field
Although the ability of Shielding is very powerful, it can be penetrated. In the episode "It's A Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad World, Part 1", Gideon cursed an Athame that was able to pierce and penetrate Wyatt's Force Bubble. After someone has done this, their shield will permanently be forced down.
