Orbing

**Orbing** is a form of the power of teleportation, allowing the user to teleport by collapsing into/emerging from an orb of white light. This power seems to be exclusive to Whitelighters.

## Overview

This ability seems to work by causing the user and any intended others to spiral into a sphere in the occupied space and dissipate into a bright white light before emerging at the destination in the same manner. Orbing is assumed to be a basic power of all Whitelighters. Whitelighters are able to teleport with other beings and objects through physical contact, though this is said to deplete their magical energy.

## Known Users

Original Power
* Whitelighters
	+ Harry Greenwood (formerly)
	+ Tessa Flores-Cohen

## Trivia

* This power is the first mode of teleportation seen onscreen in the reboot.
* The visual effects for Orbing in this series are very different than in the original series. When someone orbed in the original series, they turned into a swarm of blue and white orbs that usually rose upwards or sunk downwards (however, certain half-Whitelighters orb in a swirling manner without rising or descending like Simon Marks), depending on the direction the being is going. In the reboot, Whitelighters transport in a similar fashion as the wizards of *Harry Potter* do via Disapparition, however, it is still referred to as "Orbing."
	+ In *You're Dead to Me*, Mel uses the term "orbing" for the first time.
	+ In both *Touched by a Demon* and *Switches & Stones*, Harry refers to his teleportation as "orbing".
	+ In *Switches & Stones*, Mel calls Jada's teleportation "orb."
	+ In *The Replacement*, Tessa, the second Whitelighter to appear in the series, also calls her teleportation ability, "orbing," effectively giving this form of teleportation its name.
* In *Kappa Spirit*, Harry reveals that he can orb into midair and grab someone mid-teleportation, although he does think of it as "a bit unorthodox".
* In *The Replacement*, Tessa refers to orbing as "western magic". In the original series, the sisters referred to witchcraft several times as "western magic", which they described as separated from "eastern thinking", which is more ritualistic.
* In the first season, the sound effect of Orbing was akin to a rustling whoosh. The second season changed this to a more coarse grinding type of sound.
* Since this power belonged exclusively to Whitelighters and the last of them went "extinct" in season 4, it is assumed that Orbing went extinct with them. Theoretically, Jordan Chase being a part-Whitelighter could have this power in a dormant state, however, this has never been confirmed.
