Force fields

undefined:

"You have much to learn, Raziel. When you are ready, this barrier will be dissolved."

- The Elder God

Force fields were magical barriers, controlled and utilized by the Elder God in the Spectral Realm. The Elder used these to restrict Raziel's movements at the beginning of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, while introducing him to his capabilities as an "angel of death".

Role
Force fields were hexagonal planes which pulsed with blue energy, conjured and controlled by the Elder God at will. They only appeared in the Spectral Realm at the beginning of Raziel's quest, before doorways and corridors in and immediately beyond the Underworld. When Raziel was educated regarding warp gates, soul devouring, gliding, Sluagh and planar portals, a force field would prevent him from prematurely bypassing the lesson.

The force fields were impassable. If Raziel approached one, the Elder God would advise him that it would dissolve as soon as Raziel was ready to continue. True to his word, the Elder retracted each barrier as soon as Raziel became proficient in his new abilities. After Raziel first shifted into the Material Realm, mastering the use of planar portals, the Elder God ceased using force fields to impede him, probably satisfied that he had learned enough to survive.
