Forcefinder

Forcefinding is a highly rare darkprime magic fueled by prime ash that allows the mage to create protective forcefields of shimmering white energy. The forcefields are composed of millions of tiny, manipulatable particles of light that absorb kinetic energy, effectively shielding the user from high-velocity attacks or breaking deadly falls. When channeled with intense emotion, the fields can take on unique, specialized properties: fear and anger create hovering "firebubbles," love forms protective "icebubbles," and pure joy manifests as healing green "lifebubbles". Megan (Phoenix) is the preeminent forcefinder in the series, whose unique emotional control makes her incredibly powerful, alongside the Cothellon enforcer Elion.
