Roy strikes his cane against a surface and a set of orbiting rings appear around his target. Any attack that passes the rings seems to flicker, change direction, or sometimes even vanish entirely until appearing on the other side.
Formed from knowledge gifted to him, Roy is able to loosen the dimensional fabric around his target. Upon colliding with the rings an attack is shifted in the 4th dimension, causing their damage to be weakened or sometimes miss entirely. Objects that leave the ring's circumference return to their original state regardless of how much they shifted.

As Eric turns on his power, his eyes begin to glow with a golden light of intensity according to the strength of his outcome. Also, the air around him has a slight mirage effect, just a bit wavy.
This is a danger sense that allows Eric to use his preternatural awareness to subtly move so that an attack will miss him (hopefully). this is represented by the barrier absorbing damage.
