There are three spells that make blue fields. One of them is an area
of effect spell and generally produces a sphere. The others affect only
a single creature and conform to the mass of that creature.

For reference when we talk about blue fields there are really three kinds
that come up in conversation:

Type 1:	We had this kind for years. The blue field is actually
	solid to the touch. It is frictionless and indestructable.
	You can also move it if you choose to. Just pick it up and
	move it.

Type 2: This one got created when we started using Type 1s for construction
	materials. This is basically a Type 1 that cannot be moved (hence
	all this talk of relativity). This one is really uncommon and lasted
	all of 1 week.

Type 3:	Today's blue-field. It is immaterial, mostly opaque and completely
	un-movable. So we still have relative arguments. Un-movable compared
	to what?

Can't be done. Type 3s are immovable objects... massless also.
