Bubble Shield
Bubble Shields are easy to make and can hold up against everyday
annoyances. I primarily use them for blocking "normal" humans'
empathetic projections. Regulating how solid the shield is dictates
how much empathetic information I receive from my environment.
I've personally had trouble using them for blocking telepathic
information, but keep in mind, my telepathic experiences are very
limited. Bubble Shields are also useful against humans who
subconsciously leach energy from others. Basically, in those
situations, your shield has to only be more powerful than the
person's next to you. The "leach" will generally go for the easy
.target and not even bother with you
Unfortunately, you can't just learn the Bubble Shield and be set for
life. If you engage in any psychic combat, you'll find that your
Bubble Shield doesn't amount to crap. A focused attack can go right
through or shatter it, depending on the attackers skill and objective.
Reconstructing and maintaining it during a fight isn't worth the
effort. As mentioned above, the Bubble Shield is very basic. It's
great for everyday problems, but for more serious events, it's wiser
to make a better type of shield, than trying to hold together a small

Diffuse Shield
As implied above, I use this shield for fending off lightning. It started
when I was first dabbling in energy manipulation. The first time, I
was home alone at night, and it was storming pretty heavy out. I
was playing around with psi balls and throwing them around, when I
bolt of lighting hit within 30 yards of my house. I didn't see it
directly, but everything lit up (and I mean EVERYTHING - I was
blinded for about twenty seconds), and my entire house rattled and
vibrated. I was scared shitless, of course, so I stopped practicing psi
balls until the storm was over. Thinking it could have been a fluke, I
.didn't worry about it after that
I've yet to find another use for this shield other than the one stated.
It'll fall apart in an hour or so (depending how you program it), and I
can't think of any way it would be useful in a combat situation.
Nonetheless, it's served it's purpose: I've yet to be struck Smile. If
.you find yourself in a situation similar to mine, give this shield a try
While the Diffuse Shield is made for a very specific purpose, the
next shield I'm going to discuss can be used for a variety of
applications. It's commonly referred to as the Mirror Shield because
.of its ability to bounce incoming energy in the opposite direction
Mirror Shield
There are some pitfalls to this shield that can trick-up a newbie. The
first is to make sure you create it so you can send energy out
through the shield. It's no good if you go to attack and your attack
bounces off the inside and nails yourself. Another is to make sure
you make it's on the outside of all your other shields. The reason for
this is that if you create it inside a Bubble Shield, for example, and
the attacker breaks through part of the Bubble Shield, the energy
will bounce off, and hit the Bubble Shield again on the way out. Two
.hits with one stone
Marshmallow Shield
One shield that can be combined well with the Marshmallow Shield
is the Force-Bubble Shield. It takes longer to construct, but provides
.some of the best protection

Cloaking Shield
I find this shield the most fun to play with. With it, you can walk up
to someone while their looking right at you and scare the crap out of
them (yes, that is fun! Smile). Previous experience with telepathic
.suggestion will help you with this shield's properties
To create it, you'll want to form a mental image of what you want to
project onto others. You can project yourself as "invisible" or
something static (for example, a hedge, box, etc...). Whatever you
choose, you should have a clear understanding of what the objects
energy is like. You'll want to create a shield that emits this same
type of energy. The goal isn't to physically make yourself look like a
hedge, but rather to get the attacker to glance over you. Broadcast
."something like "Nothing to see here, just a hedge
This isn't an easy shield to make, but it is useful. It doesn't take that
long to make, just skill. With anything, practice makes perfect, and
.this shield is fun to practice Smile
