Powers and Abilities[]
Orbing[]
Paige had this ability from the beginning. This is the ability to disappear and then reappear again in a flurry of white and blue lights. At the beginning of her having this ability to was only able to orb in the same place, later in Season 4 she was able to finally orb from room to room. Eventually she was able to orb on command. On occasions she was able to let objects pass through her during her orbing process. This is one of Paige's most used abilities. During Season Nine it was shown that Paige was able to orb anywhere she liked, breaking through most magical barriers.
Telekinetic Orbing[]
This is Paige's ability to move objects through orbing. Paige calls for an object and it would either teleport to her or be moved to another destination. Later on in the series, Paige was able to teleport people. Paige was also able to not use her hands to orb objects and on more occasions, she was able to not call for the object. Paige could also call the destination of the object and teleport it there. During Season Nine, Paige was able to use this ability without either talking or any hand movement; she just literary had to think of the object or the place and it would orb away. It was also revealed in Rockabye Demon that Paige is able to call for Energy Balls, without one even being present.
Healing[]
Very later on in the series, Paige was able to heal wounds. When Henry was shot and close to death, Paige admitted her love to Henry and held her hands over the wound: her hands started to glow and she healed the bullet wound. Paige used this ability again on Henry when he was hit by a Fire Ball, she then used it on Piper to heal her after she was also hit by a Fire Ball. It was also shown that Paige was able to heal the fabric above the injury. During Season Nine, Paige was able to use this ability on people who were near the verge of death.
Sensing[]
During Season 4, Paige was able to sense the destination of a lost Leo. Paige used this ability on a few other occasions and was able to sense the locations of all of her charges. This was one of Paige's abilities she least used. This ability was used alot more during Season Nine, she used it mainly to sense the location of both her sisters and her charges. It only required a little bit of concentration to sense her sisters due to the blood link.
Glamouring[]
Paige uses this ability to take the appearance of other beings. She first used this ability when she morphed into Glenn's fiancée (once she was put under a hex). When she did this, she simply just faded into another form. Paige then took the form of Phoebe when Phoebe did not have the time to go for a photoshoot. When she changed into Phoebe, Witch-Orbs surrounded her. Later on in the Season she then morphed into Billie to save her from a demon. During Season Nine, Paige never used this ability.
Orb Shield[]
During the Season 9 episode Magic Can't Handle Me, Paige received a Power Advancement where she was able to create a force field made out of orbs that could protect her and others around. She could also contain explosions and impending attacks. This a very powerful defensive power and Paige uses it during most demonic attacks to protect herself and her sisters. She can create a bubble version of this shield as well (like Wyatt has been see to do) that can stay around her for long periods of time. It took a while for Paige to find out the trigger of this ability, but after being attacked by a swarm of demons, she came to the realization that fear was the trigger. After realizing this, she went on to being able to maintain the shield for longer periods of time, allowing others to enter. During Season 10, Paige was able to contract her shield to mould around a person preventing them from moving, it was also capable of containing the being inside's abilities - practically leaving them useless.
Thermokinesis[]
During the special episode Solo Paige, it was revealed that Paige had acquired the ability to control heat with her mind. It was first shown when she causes a knife to burn a demons hand; she used it again to burn a demon to death. It is currently unknown to what extent Paige can use this ability although she does already seem to have pretty much mastered the ability.
