A Sub-Trope of Instant Armor and Sister Trope of Elemental Armor, this trope utilizes elemental forces as a form of (instantaneous) protection in a shape of a usually spherical barrier that covers the user. It can be a ball of flame, sand, lightning, or any elemental manifestation.
Characters who use this trope are a combination of Barrier Warrior and Elemental Powers. This trope is the reason why the Barrier Change Boss exists.
See Instant Armor for worn armor that appears instantaneously and Elemental Armor for an elemental variation of the former.

The Tornado Shield from Grid Warrior creates a tornado around the player that damages nearby enemies, blocks weak bullets and sucks in any homing missiles. When fully upgraded, the shield will also gain fire- or ice- based properties if it sucks in fire- or ice- based attacks respectively.

The World Ends with You has three Psychs in the form of fire, water, and darkness. The fire psych protects you from foes while damaging anybody that comes near, the water psych shields you while restoring your health at the same time, and the darkness psych does both at the same time, but only when you’re in contact with the enemy at all.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles uses three shields: Fire, Water, and Electric. The fire shield protects from fire-based attacks as well as lava, and allows you to dash forward. The water shield allows you to breathe underwater and has a bouncing double jump. The lightning shield allows you to magnetically attract loose rings (so no, the ones in the item boxes don't count), but not the ones you lose as a result of hitting a badnik, as well as a double jump. The three of them reappeared in Sonic Generations, but only if you unlock them in the challenges.

World of Warcraft has a vast number of these, and most caster classes have at least one. Although many of them, while called "armor" or "shield" don't actually protect the user, but provide different buffs.

The favorite maneuver of any kind by John in With Strings Attached is to create a water “force field” around himself (and often others as well). Besides being physically protective, it also contains air and protects against noxious smells, can be extended under water so he can carry people along with him, and (as shown in The Keys Stand Alone), it helps lubricate his way through tight spaces.

Taikobou can use his wind paope to form a defensive barrier of whirlwinds.
One of the Shisei of Kuryuu Island can use the water of his paope to form giant dome-shaped barriers (which are sticky enough to trap anyone who touches the water).

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Benders, especially Earthbenders, can create protective shields from their elements. Ba Sing Se is a fortified city that's been holding out for years because repairing damage to the walls is trivially easy.
During the Grand Finale, when Aang finally masters the power of the Avatar he forms a Sphere of Power around himself from each of the four elements, one by one.

Warhammer 40,000:
Adeptus Mechanicus Electro-Priests are surrounded by a voltagheist field that resembles will-o-the-wisps of electromagnetic force. This high voltage electric field protects the Priest by dispersing the energy of an attack in a puff of ozone and discharges as powerful electric shocks against the Priest’s enemies. In the 8th Edition rules, the voltagheist field gives the Electro-Priest a 5+ invulnerable save and a chance of causing mortal wounds against his enemies.
The Necron Artefact known as the Lightning Field uses the same technology as the race's tesla weaponry to surround its wearer with a defensive shield of emerald lightning. Not only does this field protect the Necron from harm, but it also electrocutes any foe attacking them. The 8th Edition version of the rules represents this by giving the wearer a 4+ invulnerable save, as well as a 50% chance of causing mortal wounds against nearby enemy units.
