Energy Ball Generation is the power to create and project balls of energy, which resemble electrical discharges. The energy ball is formed through the hands and is used to attack a target.
Overview[]
The user can form a sphere of glowing electrical energy, which hovers just over the palm of their hand, through sheer concentration. It has been shown that their eyes would glow with power during the formation.
After the energy ball is fully formed, it can be thrown at a direct target. The intensity of the energy ball depends on the user's own level of power and skill, though it would seem that energy balls can be quite deadly to mortals and magical beings, unless the target is resistant to such an attack, evident when Godric survived being hit by an energy ball from Parker.[1]
Known Users[]
- Original power
- Parker Caine (formerly)
Trivia[]
- Parker Caine was the only being shown creating and throwing an energy ball in the reboot series. As this power was only shown being used by Parker, it is unclear if this is a purely demonic power or if any other being possesses it. Also, the fact that Parker was the only one who demonstrated this ability implies that it is also a rare power in the reboot.
- According to Madeleine Mantock, there was a production error in "Deconstructing Harry" which was originally supposed to be Abigael Jameson-Caine's (Parker's sister) energy ball but was accidentally made as fire. However, due to the retcon of Abigael's story in the third season, it was later decided that it was in fact a fireball and not an energy ball. Perhaps, this also indicates that it was originally planned that the energy balls would be a demonic power (or at least a hereditary trait for the Caines like their Mind Melding).
- Oddly enough, in the aforementioned scene of "Deconstructing Harry", Abigael even uses the more stoking gesture with both of her hands that is common amongst users of pyrokinetic powers rather than the single, opened palm gesture more accustomed to the generation of energy balls.

- The ability to create and throw energy balls was a very common power used by demons, and in some cases witches and other beings, in the original series.
- In the original, it was assumed that a powerful being that created an energy ball could kill a weaker creature. This aspect of the power of the energy balls has never been shown in the reboot, so it remains unclear whether this ability in the show is just as deadly or Parker simply wasn't powerful enough to vanquish Godric. However, being as Parker was going to attack Jordan with an energy ball, it could be assumed that the power has the potential to be deadly.
