But then i don't really know what to do from there. OK, so i feel it. now what? What are the best ways, and best examples of charging it with intent?
Let me see if I can explain it. I think we are talking about the denser balls that create a psychokinetic affect (having an affect on an object that it is thrown at, a change in temperature in the area around, or messing with light to make it visible.
It is so hard to translate these things into words. *sigh*. Sometimes I hate words. Personally, I don't use balls. I use energy blast and whips. If you want to make it so that it changes the temperature, pretty much make it in a basic way and pretty much use your mind to shape the energy. Ummm... I guess you can pretty much just use what you want it to do to give it a property. For example, in the energy make it so that it displaces heat or kinetic energy around it. I can percieve matter through my energy, if that makes sense, so I can see what affect I am having on the enviorment and it is hard to explain it in words let alone in a way that you will understand.
Maybe a tactile example? You know what cold feels like. You know what hot feels like. Simply instruct your energy to recreate that feel. You do not want to self delude yourself, so keep a thermometer handy. I have people around and measurement equipment around and a camera when I am doing things of that nature. This is so I don't fool myself into thinking that I am doing something when I am not. The affects that you could be feeling could be psychosomatic, natural biological things, or a type of biofeedback. You are triggering your hands to feel a certain feeling, so it is.
Getting a psi ball to do a physical thing is along the boarders of psychokinesis and telekinesis. You can feel an emotion and send it into the energy of the ball. The ball is now charged with that emotion. When creating the construct you can think of an image and send it to the ball. It is imprinted.
There is a type of psi ball called a force ball bubble.

As a small point of trivia, when a semi-solid or solid bubble is shattered, it actually leaves shards of the shell scattered on the ground. They eventually dissolve and dissipate, of course. My experience is that they do so in less than twenty-four hours. I've never been sufficiently bored to just sit around and watch this happen; the shards are simply gone less than a day after they are cast. I've also never kept a functional force bubble intact for more than a minute, that I recall, although practice bubbles are sometimes held longer.
For practice purposes, start small. These are quite energy-intensive, and using large bubbles to learn is exhausting. So, to start with, keep them "softball" size or thereabouts. And, of course, when first learning how to make a force bubble, do it step by step. Short-cuts and speed come after accuracy and effectiveness have been mastered.
First of all, make a psiball, a small spheroid psi construct. It doesn't need to glow or give off heat or do anything else; just a standard, run-of-the-mill psiball.
Once the psiball is nice and steady, hollow it out, moving all its psi to the outer shell. A ping-pong ball, a tennis ball, or something of that sort would make an adequate model for visualization. If you want to solidify it, now would be the time. Likewise, if you feel like adding any flashy special effects such as sparks, colours, and so on, do it now. As I mentioned earlier, such special effects are entirely unnecessary for the bubble itself. However, sometimes they are wanted: for intimidation, as a show-of-force, or simply for their "coolness" factor, "Hey, Mum, look what I can do!"
To turn this shell into a small Shield, program it as you would for any other Shield; with effect, duration, shape, etc. To make it a force bubble, though, you will add a final step to this. The shell must push outward on contact with another object, physical or otherwise. This is where the PK comes in. The idea is to have the shell push harder, according to how much resistance it meets. The harder you push on it, the harder it pushes back. You may overlay the PK on the regular Shield-programming, or you may do it as a separate function. Try both a few times and see which works better for you. Either will work.
Force bubbles, psionic and otherwise, are popular in science fiction and assorted fantasy, so finding an appropriate model for visualization should be fairly simple. There are also some excellent models in real-world science. For example, observe the repulsion between two magnets held together with like poles facing each other. For my own use, I favour an image from a "fanfic" based on an early anime series that happened to rely heavily on forcefields of various kinds. The forcefields in that series were rather ugly, looking like a cross between glass and raspberry Jell-o, with uneven spots that resembled bubbles within the shell itself, which was roughly six inches thick. That particular image, from a specific scene, came to mind when I was in need of a force bubble, so I went with it. Hideously ugly, but effective.
http://psipog.net/art-force-bubbles.htmlI can create a type of construct like that, but it is temporary and normally one sided. I can create a shelled force of energy in front of myself to repel a strong breeze. It does not last long, though. It last for a couple of seconds to a minute. The problem is the concentration. When my focus goes, so too does the energy or matter that I am holding onto. That is the reason why psi balls and certain types of shields are my weakest area. I can't create a psi ball that stays for more than a couple of seconds before it goes poof. I can create a "psi force" that can be propelled though in a type of blast.
Psi balls can have their mental counterpart as well. Constructs like that can be extended into larger shields programmed to do such and such with such and such energy. For example, this type of mental input block, therefore, when a certain type of emotion, thought, or mental image or energy is detected, it doesn't go through, while it allows the others.
The basic would be to simply imprint an emotion in it. If you have any type of ESP or can sense energy, later you can introduce the ball to an energy and say block. Make it like you would an ordianry one and focus on sending energy from an emotion.
