"Leo, just hover."
Paige Matthews telling Leo to hover[src]

Hovering is the magical power to rise in the air a few feet with or without the use of orbs. This power is similar to levitation, but the user can only stay in one place, limiting its efficient capacity to minuscule tasks like reaching small heights and meditating.

History[]

Whitelighters and the Elders have the power to hover, and sometimes use it to meditate in a swirl of orbs.[1]

Leo Wyatt's secret identity as the Charmed Ones' Whitelighter was discovered by Phoebe when she walked in on him changing a light bulb high on the ceiling by hovering.[2] Later, when Phoebe temporarily got the power of flight from a Dragon Warlock, she couldn't control it and got stuck in the air near the ceiling in the attic. Leo hovered to bring her down.[3] Leo, still ever the handyman, helped Piper hang a picture in the manor by hovering.[4]

Cole Turner, secretly the Source of All Evil, used his powers to set off a smoke detector at the Manor to make Phoebe feel as if the house was too distracting for her to work on her column. Leo hovered up in the air to check it.[5]
