To redirect magical attacks and projectiles

### Category

Defensive Skill

**Deviation** is the practiced skill to use one's own magical powers to redirect the magical attacks or projectiles of other beings back on the path of emanation.

Deviation is not an actual active power, but merely a skill that can be learned through the exploration of the capabilities of other powers. Deviation is a defensive technique that can only be used to impede and redirect attacks.

## Methods of Deviation

### Telekinesis

Main article: TelekinesisFile:Deflect2.gifThe ability to move objects and individuals with the mind.

Prue Halliwell used telekinesis to deviate attacks back at demons in order to injure or vanquish them, usually by bouncing them off in another direction when it made contact with the palm of her hand. She could also deviate attacks from one evil being towards another, like she did when she deflected Russell's fire in order to vanquish Anton. Prue has deviated the following: paint, flares, energy balls, fireballs, bullets, fire streams, cameras, Energy Beams, arrows, saw blades, and even powerful aerokinetic blasts.

Billie Jenkins likewise used this power to deviate projectiles/powers. She has deviated fireballs, lightning bolts, and boulders.

Barbas deviated a fireball that was thrown at him.

Zankou and The Dogan both have redirected potions being thrown at them into the path of their own minions.

### Deflection

### Molecular Combustion

Piper Halliwell uses Molecular Combustion to deviate energy balls and fireballs back at demons. She did this by blasting the projectile mid-air, changing its trajectory back to the demon. She can also deviate attacks from one evil being towards another, like she did when she battled Paul Haas and his fellow demons; blowing up an energy ball which caused one of its fragments to hit a nearby demon.
