Energy Balls
From Charmed
The ability to create energy balls is an offensive power used by many demons, and even some witches and warlocks. The user can form balls of energy (which resemble electrical discharges) in their hand, and throw them at targets with varying levels of intensity. 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"). This suggests that for mid to upper-level demons, this 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. (pictured "Brain Drain")
Energy balls appear to be able to be reflected 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 and burns them to dust or vanquishes them (common appearence for Witches, Warlocks, low level Demons and humans when being hit). 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 deflected 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.
