So, your Player Character just got an Invincibility Power-Up, your anime hero unlocked a Super Mode, or your essay is due in an hour and you drink a Red Bull. How do you represent the sudden increase in power? With circles and spheres. It can be in the form of a debris cloud that envelops the character, a Chunky Updraft that circles the character like electrons around an atom, a full-body halo that radiates from him, a barrier of any stripe, a cyclone spiraling upwards, or maybe Instant Runes following the character around like a celestial spotlight. Point is, it's got circles and therefore it must be powerful. This is possibly because a circle (in 2D) and sphere (in 3D) are the shapes any equally distributed outward pressure will form. Not to be confused with the Sphere of Destruction, although the two often do overlap, or the alternate magic system Sourcebook Spheres of Power, though you could build one with those rules. Compare Orbiting Particle Shield. |

In Kingdom Hearts II, whenever a character levels up they are briefly surrounded by a sphere. The Aero spell, typically an air-elemental offensive spell in Final Fantasy, is instead a spherical shield in Kingdom Hearts. Reflect/Barrier/Dark Barrier projects a spherical Beehive Barrier whenever he guards. Xemnas's ultimate attack in the first game's Final Mix involves forming one and strafing Team Sora with energy beams. It's reused for his Limit Break in days. In Dream Drop Distance, this is Ansem / Xehanort's latest trick with his Guardian. |

In Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal using Shield Charger or Tesla Barrier will surround ratchet with a glowing spherical shield which renders him essentially invincible until it dissipates (besides Bottomless Pits, lava or the like) and in Tesla Barrier's case it also delivers a considerable shock to anything foolish getting nearby. | |

Kamen Rider: Several Kamen Riders get a sphere effect. And these spheres are crazy impenetrable, repelling any charging monster or its weaponfire. The Kamen Rider Dragon Knight transformation effect looks a great deal like the page image. The sphere forms, the circle (actually two in one) appears at waist level, and they slowly flip, suiting the Rider as they pass over. When the circles have gone 180° and are one again, the effect ends. A monster or rival Rider unfortunate enough to be too close when the henshin field bursts forth from the belt will be thrown backwards. |

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: In Rainbow Rocks, for the final battle, the ultimate move of the Rainbooms singing in unison generates a rising rainbow beam made of the Magic of Friendship, which coalesces into a multicolored sphere of twirling energies. And then a huge pair of glowing wings emerge from it, prelude to the summoning of a giant Winged Unicorn made of light. In Friendship Games, two Transformation Sequences involve glowing spheres of magic. Twilight reacts by struggling against it and screams for help, while Sunset willingly embraces it. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In the Pensieve Flashbacks of the episode "Princess Twilight Sparkle – Part 2", the Elements of Harmony when rotating around Celestia in the first flashback, and then again, around both Luna and Celestia in the second (earlier) one, form a Sphere of Power. In "Twilight's Kingdom – Part 2", the Mane Six imbued with the Rainbow Power are surrounded by a bright, multicolored sphere that Lift them in the air and is completely impervious to Tirek's attack. Then, after defeating the villain, it expands into a World-Healing Wave. |

Dragon Ball Z: It combines this with Sphere of Destruction when Cell attains his Perfect form, rendering himself temporarily invulnerable and taking out a chunk of countryside to boot. Also, Android #17's barrier of ki forms a perfect sphere around him. Frieza is surrounded by one of as part of his own final transformation; in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai games, the entire process is abbreviated into him calling it up, then cracking out of it like an eggshell. Broly often creates these to survive indefinitely in environments with no air, such as the depths of space or deep in molten lava. He also regularly forms forcefields during combat. |
