Bane: A wealthy criminal, Bane was hired by Barbas to kill the Charmed Ones. He in turned hired Ms. Hellfire, an assassin, to do the job. Hellfire failed, and the Charmed One’s eventually ensured Bane would go to prison. Bane had an attraction to Prue Halliwell, although he first thought she was Ms. Hellfire.
Bane is a mortal with no supernatural powers, although he is aware of the existence of supernatural beings and demons. This is the reason that the demon Litvack targeted him for death after he was sent to prison. With the help of the Charmed Ones Bane was able to kill Litvack and save his own life.
Though Bane had formed an attachment to Prue Halliwell he volunteered to go back to prison and serve out his sentence.

Banshees: Rare demons who feed on souls in great emotional pain. Banshee’s are attracted to their inner cry and driven to destroy them.
They emit a high-pitched cry, inaudible to human ears, and use it like sonar to zero in on the waves of pain emanating from the stricken. Once they’ve located a victim their call turns into a scream that kills: capable of shattering glass, liquefying internal organs and bursting blood vessels. Banshees are also very strong, and possess the ability to leap great distances.
A Banshee’s scream may kill a human, but it has a very different effect on a Witch in pain, turning them into Banshees. This transformation is not permanent until the newly formed Banshee kills, and can be reversed. If the source of the Banshee's pain can be eliminated then they will revert to their former selves.
Though there is no spell to destroy Banshees in the Book Of Shadows, there is a spell to track them. For more information on this see: Banshee, Spell To Track A.
Piper Halliwell was able to destroy a Banshee by using molecular acceleration to blow her up. Other ways to vanquish a Banshee are not known.
Banshees appear as human females with white hair and vampire fangs. They wear tattered rags for clothing.

Banshee, Spell To Track A: A spell in the Book Of Shadows to give someone the ability to hear the call of a Banshee. When the Charmed Ones cast this spell they assumed it would simply give a human this ability. Instead the spell transformed the tracker into a dog, as all dogs can hear a Banshees cry.
To cast the spell the designated tracker must stand in a circle of candles. From outside the circle a Witch must recite these words:

The tracker remains a dog until the threat of the Banshee has passed. While transformed the tracker is capable of understanding everything that is said, but is overwhelmed by instinct and will behave like a dog.
The tracking spell the Charmed Ones cast was only reversed when all of the Banshees had been destroyed or reverted, not just the Banshee the spell had originally been cast to track.

Barbas, The Demon of Fear: Barbas returns to the earthly dimension every 1300 years on Friday the 13^th. He must kill 13 Witches before midnight to be freed from purgatory.
Barbas appeared during the lifetimes of the Halliwell sisters, and was vanquished by Prue. Because of a deal he was able to return again to try and finish his work, but the sisters stopped him once more.
Barbas was able to use a person’s greatest fear against them. In the face of their greatest fear a Witches power was helpless against him. Barbas also showed the ability to control someone’s mind by tapping into their fears and twisting them to his own ends.
Barbas hired the criminal Bane to kill the Witches he was unable to on Friday the 13^th.

Baxter, P: The great, great grandmother of The Charmed Ones, Baxter was a Witch who lived in the Manor in the 1920’s, possessing the power to freeze (particle stasis). She and her cousin, P Bowen, cursed and killed their cousin P Russell in 1924.
Baxter was an earlier incarnation of Piper Halliwell, and also faced a choice between the souls of Leo and Dan.

Belland, Glenn: Childhood friend and erstwhile boyfriend of Paige Matthews. He visits her in between his globe trotting adventures and is one of the few mortals privileged with the knowledge of The Charmed Ones existence.

Belthazor: Soldier of fortune and human/demon hybrid sent by The Triad to kill the Halliwell sisters, Belthazor was the demon half of Cole Turner. When in demon form Belthazor was extremely large and muscular, with red skin covered in black markings. Though able to change form at will, he had difficulty retaining his human form if injured.
Belthazor possessed great strength, the ability to cast deadly energy balls, adjusting, and the power to shimmer. He was able to detect the presence of a Whitelighter by touch, and had psychic senses capable of identifying human murderers and tracking shimmers through planes. For a time Belthazor was also gifted by The Triad with pyrokinesis, telekinesis and the ability to remotely teleport objects, but these powers were removed when he betrayed them for the love of Phoebe Halliwell, killing them.
Belthazor’s demonic abilities were tied to his inherent evil nature and by turning to good and loving Phoebe he weakened them. His strength and shimmering were unaffected, as was his power to cast energy balls, but his adjusting ability suffered greatly, at times leaving him completely open to freezing by particle stasis.
Considered one of the deadliest demons, until turning to good, Belthazor murdered hundreds of innocents and Witches, without conscience or remorse, earning infamy enough to gain an entry in the Book Of Shadows and membership of the demonic Brotherhood of the Thorn for over a hundred years. He bested extremely powerful adversaries, both demonic and virtuous, but his final fate came at the hands of a human woman whose fiancé he had murdered. She struck him with Phoebe Halliwell’s power stripping potion, completely eradicating the demonic Belthazor and leaving only a wholly human Cole Turner.

Belthazor, Spell To Summon: Written by Prue Halliwell and capable of summoning the demon Belthazor, this spell worked by calling magick to magick. Once cast the spell was able to draw Belthazor to the caster, creating a tiny tornado within which space was warped.

Magick forces black and white,
Reaching out through space and light,
Be he far or be he near,
Bring us the demon Belthazor here

This spell was only effective on Belthazor as long as he was capable of shimmering, tapping into this ability to move him through space and dimensions, and so long as he chose to allow it. By switching to his demonic form Belthazor could negate the effects of the spell, though it took great effort, and resist its call.
When The Charmed Ones attempted to cast this spell on a wounded Belthazor they instead summoned the demon bounty hunter Krell, accidentally tapping into his raying ability as a Zotar and drawing him to the manor.

Belthazor Vanquish: A potion capable of vanquishing the demon Belthazor. The key ingredient was a piece of his flesh, and the potion would not have worked without it.
Once brewed all three of the Charmed Ones needed to recite the incantation over the pot to activate the potion. This was necessary as Belthazor is so powerful a demon that it is to be assumed that nothing less than the Power Of Three would vanquish him.
The incantation was:

Belthazor’s Grimoire: A magickal tome, similar to the Halliwell Book Of Shadows, possessed by the demon Belthazor. It contained spells and information on his current assignments.
The book had magickal properties and was able to be teleported by Belthazor at will.  Waving his hand over the cover made the book disappear, possibly sending it to another dimension, until it was needed again.

Bennett, Victor: A mortal that married the Witch Patty. He never wanted the girls to learn that they were Witches and have their powers unbound, leaving them to be raised by their Grams. He returned after they regained their powers and tried to convince them to give him the Book Of Shadows, but has since accepted his daughters as grown women, capable of protecting themselves and wielding their magick.
In between his departure from the sister’s lives and his return, Victor became quite wealthy.
Victor’s wedding band is a ring that is capable of blunting the force of magick spells, though it affords no protection from magickal powers.

Berman, Whitaker: See Dream Sorcerer.

Binding: Locking of a magickal beings powers, preventing their use. A binding can take the form of a spell or a potion, and can be reversed, or may reverse themselves when the Witch who cast them dies.

Blemish Curse: Designed to upset Phoebe Halliwell’s wedding day the blemish spell had the double effect of causing a breakout of pimples on Phoebe’s face, as well as countering the magick The Source anticipated the Halliwell’s would use to hide the blemishes.
When the vanishing spell was cast on Phoebe it had the unintended effect of causing all of her to turn invisible, not just the acne, remaining in effect until the marriage had been successfully prevented from occurring. The Halliwells were unable to break the curse, but Paige was able to shift the invisibility from Phoebe to herself in the hopes the wedding might continue.
Latin verses must be said over the intended victim, while sprinkling a powder on the face, to activate the curse.

Blessing: Giving magickal properties to an object. Patty Halliwell blessed the ring of the Warlock Nicholas, giving him immunity to the powers of her daughters. The individual who made the original blessing can also reverse it.

Blinking: Possessed by a great number of Warlocks this power takes its name from individual’s ability to move from place to place in the blink of an eye. Though often considered evil, Melinda Warren believed this power to have originated from good Witches in the 1600’s.

Book Of Shadows, The: Created by Melinda in 1693 and passed down through the line of Warren Witches ever since, with each adding to it over the centuries, The Book Of Shadows is a repository of magickal knowledge containing spells, potions, history, and information on all kinds of magickal beings; as well as being charmed its own right. The Book and the magick of The Charmed Ones are connected; what affects one affects the other, and only a Witch of Warren blood can remove the Book from Halliwell Manor. The Books magick means that most demonic beings unable to touch it.

Bottomless Pit Of Everlasting Torment: A passageway to a dimension of despair, possibly existing in the same dimensional plane as that of demons. The demonic sin infector Lucas possessed a staff capable of opening a portal to this place of torment. Striking the staff on the ground twice opened the pit, and two more strikes closed it.

Bounty Hunters, Demonic: See: Zotars.

Bowen, P: A Witch in the Warren line who lived in the 1920’s. Bowen was a previous incarnation of Prue Halliwell, a renowned photographer, and a Witch with the power of ice-blasting. She and P Baxter killed and cursed their cousin, P Russell, in 1924.

Brianna: A Witch, and the great, great, great aunt of the Halliwells. She had the power of telekinesis and was responsible for defeating and humiliating the Lord of War Gabrielle. Brianna channeled her power through her hands, but it is to be assumed that she first channeled it through her eyes. Her power was very strong and allowed her to move things great distances.

Brooke: A human woman cursed by The Sorcerer. She was a wolf by night, and a human by day. The Charmed Ones reunited her with her love Christopher. For more information see: Lycanthropy Curse, The.

Brooms: A tool of old magick. Sweeping a broom east to west, tracing the same path as the sun travels, will sweep evil from your path. Phoebe Halliwell was also able to use one to levitate herself, scaring away Witch hunters in the 1600’s.

Brotherhood Of The Thorn, The: Selected by The Source himself, and answerable only to him, the Brotherhood is a group of exclusively high-level demons, once counting the mighty Belthazor among its number. Most members of the Thorn possess similar powers to Belthazor and, because of the blood oath they swear upon joining, can be vanquished by the same potion capable of destroying him.
Reynor was the ultimate authority in the Brotherhood before Cole Turner killed him, but Vornak controlled the day to day actions of the group. During the Lexirom fiasco The Charmed Ones vanquished Vornak, and senior members Tarkin and Trigs, setting the Brotherhood back substantially and leaving them without a leader.

Buckland, Rex: Rex was a Warlock with telepathic abilities. With them he could read minds, astral project and cause people to see and act how he wished. Rex and the Warlock Hannah worked in conjunction. He posed as the owner of the auction house, and she one of its employees, in an attempt to steal The Charmed Ones powers. Hannah accidentally killed him after an attempt to force the sisters to surrender their powers failed.

Buckland's: An auction house where Prue Halliwell once worked. For a time the Warlock Rex posed as the owner, and Hannah as one of its employees.
