Crystalline Ball

This spell comes with a warning. This energy ball can shaped into anything, including a funnel or siphon to break away shields from opponents or pull mana out of inanimate objects. If casted wrong, the gathered energy will dissipate or worse, come back at you with whatever power you invested in it. Be careful with this spell; don't break concentration until it has finished being casted. 

Step 1: ready you hand and picture you chosen energy (ki/chi or psi) flowing up your arm from your stomach or head into your fingers. To harness this energy, tap your thumb and forefinger (first finger) together between 1 and 3 times. This control the amount of energy released and in your control. I recommend you starting with 1, then building it up to 2 and 3 as you improve your control. 

Step 2: you have the energy ready in your fingers. Directly after the taps, cross your thumb and forefinger together and visualize a small cyan ball appearing between the two fingers. Pick that up in your other thumb and forefinger and place the small ball in the palm of your hand. Visualize this ball growing into a swirling ball of blue energy. You should feel a small amount of warmth spreading around your hand. 
Step 3: Shape the energy into whatever you feel is necessary in the moment.
