'''Constraint fields''' are a form of energy field used by the [[Forerunner]]s to [[Physical restraints|restrain]] individuals.<ref name="cryptum">'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 303-305''</ref> [[Warrior-Servant]]s were capable of generating and manipulating constraint fields at will. Higher-ranked Warriors, such as the [[Ur-Didact]], could control these fields to the extent they could be used in a manner similar to telekinesis, allowing the Didact to immobilize and move his opponents from a distance.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''' [[campaign]] level, ''[[Forerunner (level)]]''</ref>{{Ref/Note|The Didact's telekinesis-like ability has not been officially identified as a constraint field. While not used in the same manner as the constraint fields described in ''Halo: Cryptum'', this article assumes that the Didact's abilities are based upon the same or a related technology.}} Constraint fields could also be used for other purposes. For example, [[Glory of a Far Dawn]] used two constraint fields to secure [[IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]] and [[Splendid Dust of Ancient Suns]] as they escaped the [[Capital|Forerunner Capital]] during [[Mendicant Bias]]' [[Battle of the Capital|attack]]. These fields were sealed against the vacuum of space and could be merged with one another.<ref name="cryptum"/>
