How it works

Distinct from energy projection, which sends force outward: a field holds a position. The interesting constraint is almost always concentration — the field fails when the caster is hit, distracted or exhausted, which is what stops it being an unbeatable defence.

Who has force field generation

Across 4 universes. This list crosses publishers — something no single wiki can do, because every franchise keeps its own separate database.
