3e SRD:Telekinetic Sphere
A globe of force encloses a creature, provided it is small enough to fit within the diameter of the sphere. The sphere contains its subject for the spells duration. The sphere is not subject to damage of any sort except from a rod of cancellation, a wand of negation, disintegrate, or a targeted dispel magic spell. These destroy the sphere without harm to the subject. Nothing can pass through the sphere, inside or out, though the subject can breathe normally. The subject may struggle, but the only effect that act produces is to move the sphere slightly. The globe can be physically moved either by people outside it or by the struggles of those within

The creatures or objects inside the globe are nearly weightless. Anything contained within a telekinetic sphere weighs only one-sixteenth of its normal weight. The character can telekinetically lift anything in the sphere that normally weighs up to 5,000 pounds. The range of the telekinetic control extends to a maximum distance of medium range from the character (100 feet + 10 feet per caster level) after the sphere has succeeded in encapsulating its contents.
The character moves objects or creatures in the sphere that weigh up to a total of 5,000 pounds by concentrating on the sphere. The character can begin moving a sphere the round after casting the spell. A rounds concentration (a standard action) moves the sphere up to 30 feet. If the character ceases concentrating, the sphere does not move that round (if on a level surface) or descends at its falling rate (if aloft) until it reaches a level surface, the spells duration ends, or the character begins concentrating again. If the character ceases concentrating (voluntarily or due to failing a Concentration check), the character can resume concentrating on the character's next turn or any later turn during the spells duration.
Note that even if more than 5,000 pounds of weight is englobed, the perceived weight is only one-sixteenth of the actual weight, so the orb can be rolled without exceptional effort. The sphere falls at a rate of only 60 feet per round, which is not fast enough to cause damage to the contents of the sphere.
The character can move the sphere telekinetically even if the character is in it.
