Scavenger Demon:
Low in the ranks of the demon hierarchy Scavengers feed on the remains of other
demons victims.
Scavengers are covered head to toe in shiny, black, hardened skin and secrete a
green, webbing like fluid. In some cases they can use this fluid to drop down
from the ceiling and surprise unsuspecting prey, or even entangle victims by
casting it from their palms.
Far from a formidable foe a Scavenger possess no supernatural talents beyond
enhanced strength. They can be vanquished by an energy ball, but are likely
equally as vulnerable to the magick of Witches.
Scrying: A
technique Witches use to magickally find and object or a person. To scry a Witch
needs a map, a piece of string, and a crystal. The string is tied around the
crystal and held over a map, with the crystal gravitating to the place, or
thing, you were seeking.
At times a Witch needs something closely associated with a being to locate it,
for example a piece of clothing or some blood. A Warlock cannot be found through
scrying.
Séance: A ceremony to summon the spirits of the deceased. To perform it you must light six candles in a circle, three white and three purple, and burn cinnamon, sandalwood, and frankincense, while chanting the following. You may summon a specific spirit, substituting their name for unknown, or make a general call for knowledge to the spirit world.
 |
Hear these words, Beloved unknown spirit
we seek your guidance, |
 |
If making a general call a spirit capable of
answering your question will appear to you, though the power of three may be
required. Summoning a familiar spirit is simpler, requiring only the recitation
of the first part of the spell and the power of a single Witch.
A seasoned spirit may chose whether or not they wish to answer a call, and may
also disappear at will. Witches can only summon those they are cosmically
allowed to see, with calling of the recently deceased forbidden as it keeps them
alive in the minds of those that loved them, preventing them from moving on.
Second Level Demons: Demons operate under a hierarchy, and in order to advance through the ranks they must foster evil and destroy good. Litvack was a second level demon, but the ranks of other demons are unknown.
See Fairies &
Trolls, Spell To: A spell Prue Halliwell cobbled together from other
spells in the Book of Shadows. It was written to allow the Halliwells to see
Fairies and Trolls when the fairy dust failed them.
When first cast the spell was unsuccessful, but later Piper Halliwell’s belief
was able to make it work.
After the spell outlived its usefulness it was automatically reversed.
In
this ‘tween time,
This darkest hour,
We call upon the sacred power,
Three together stand alone,
Command the unseen to be shown,
In an innocence we search the skies,
Enchanted are our newfound eyes
Seekers:
Demonic cousins to vampires. They are able to absorb the knowledge of those they
slay by biting into the back of their victim’s necks and feeding on brain stem
cells. This talent made them a particularly dangerous foe for The Charmed Ones.
In addition to the power to drain knowledge seekers were also able to float
through the air, and teleport from place to place. The seekers encountered by
The Charmed Ones also possessed the ability to sense, and follow, shimmers, as
well as detect the presence of other demons.
Vanquishing seekers requires the power of three, and a vanquishing spell from
the Book Of Shadows:
Knowledge gained by murderous
means,
Is wisdoms bitter enemy,
The mind that burns with stolen fire,
Will now become your funeral pyre
Seer, The:
Endowed with a powerful psychic vision, The Seer was able to scan probable
futures at will and was capable of choosing exactly what she wished to see; a
direct contrast to the wildness of the premonition power. Because of this
ability she was a supremely valuable, and loyal, ally to The Source but
ultimately always served her own agenda. While engaging her vision power The
Seer’s eyes become opaque, rendering her temporarily blind.
The Seer’s appearance as an African American woman belied her true demonic
nature, her cunning and intelligence overlooked by Witches, demons and mortals
alike.
A high level demon, The Seer possessed great knowledge of potions, spells, and
arcane lore as well as an additional power to fade, teleporting at will.
Send A Cupid Home, Spell To: A travel potion with an aphrodisiac kicker. It was composed of: lavender, oysters, rosemary, and chocolate. But they key ingredient was desire, the desire to go home. The Cupid drank this and then the Charmed Ones were to say a few words, sending him back to his realm. What these words were is unknown, as Cupid regained his ring and was able to use it to return home.
Send Oneself To A Lover: This re-working of the spell To Call A Lover To Oneself was able to create a portal in time allowing Paige and Leo to travel to the twelfth century.
Bring together my prince and
me,
His kingdom now I wish to see,
Crossing history to his side,
From myself I will not hide
Separate
A Witch From Their Powers, To: A potion that separates a Witch’s
primary magickal powers from her body. It must be ingested and then given time
to take effect before it works. Once the powers have been separated from a Witch
they can be called to another vessel using the spell To Call A Witches Power.
This potion will make a Witches powers vulnerable to calling, but not her
inherent magick. Even after losing their powers a Witch will retain the ability
to perform magick feats, like spells, and remains immune to the effects of
particle manipulation.
Seven Deadly Sins,
The: Anger, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride and sloth. The Source
creates glowing balls of these sins, capable of corrupting paragons of good and
destroying them, placing them in the sin box for Lucas and his demon couriers to
utilise.
A being is infected with the sin they are naturally predisposed to, magnifying
it until it consumes them, and forcing them into a sinful act that causes their
destruction within the space of a few hours. In
the case of Witches infection with a sin also had a negative effect on their
powers, weakening both their strength and control, to the point where their
abilities eventually no longer functioned.
As sin is integral to every being’s nature there was no spell
capable of removing a sin ball once infected. Only Lucas’ death would remove
the sins from those he had infected, though he could chose to remove sins if he
wished.
A selfless act by an infected being could remove a sin but this was extremely
difficult to accomplish while consumed, and impossible for those infected by
pride; to the extremely prideful there was no such thing as a selfless act as
every action, no matter how beneficial to others, was ultimately committed for
the greater glory of themselves.
Shadow: A
feline familiar who betrayed his Witch, becoming a Warlock. The potion that
turned him into a Warlock also killed his former owner, transferring her power
of projective levitation to him. In addition to this ability Shadow also
possessed the power to teleport, and the ability to adjust, breaking free of
molecular stasis.
Because Shadow was a former cat familiar he had to shed nine lives before he
could become an immortal Warlock. The Charmed Ones froze him at the moment of
his ninth death, casting a spell to make him feel the pain of all of his
vanquishes, killing him. The spell was:
Nine times this evils cheated
death,
Felt no pain,
And kept its breath,
This Warlock standing in our midst,
Let him feel what he has missed
A potion accompanied this spell. It needed to be thrown on the Warlock before the spell could be cast.
Shane: Short-lived boyfriend of Paige Halliwell. After his possession by The Source their relationship ended. Though Shane could not remember his possession he was aware that something bad had happened, and that the evil was somehow connected to Paige.
Shapeshifters: Demons with the ability to alter their physical forms. Their true form is not known. The Halliwell sisters encountered three shapeshifters who tried to steal the Book of Shadows. They were vanquished by a spell to rid a home of evil. The words were:
When
in the circle that is home,
Safeties
gone and evils roam,
Rid
all beings from these walls,
Save
sisters three,
Now
heed our call
Shax:
The Source’s assassin. He possessed the ability to transform into air
molecules and travel like a wind, and also to project energy waves capable of
killing whomever they struck. A formidable demon, he
was able to withstand the force of his own energy waves, strikes by energy balls
and discorporation by Piper Halliwell’s molecular acceleration power.
Shax could only be vanquished by the power of three, though Prue and Piper
Halliwell possessed sufficient power to destroy him in an alternate timeline. If
his vanquishing spell were cast by anything less than The Charmed Ones Shax
would be momentarily wounded, but not truly destroyed. The vanquishing spell
was:
Evil wind that blows,
That which forms below,
No longer may you dwell,
Death takes you with this spell
Piper, Phoebe and Paige were finally able to use this spell to vanquish Shax, but not before he had killed their sister Prue. When in human form Shax appeared as a muscular man with blue, or sometimes grey, skin and long hair.
Sheridan,
Jack: A former flame of Prue Halliwell's. Jack was a mortal and
antiquities expert like Prue. His relationship with Prue ended when she quit her
job at Bucklands.
Jack had a twin
brother, Jeff, a mortician.
Shimmering: The
teleportation ability used by Belthazor demons. This power not only allows them
to teleport to different places, but also to different realms and dimensions.
Demons with this power are able to shimmer others along with themselves if in
physical contact with them.
In between shimmering out and then back in one’s physical momentum can either
be maintained or cancelled out. Cole Turner was able to save himself from a
deadly plunge by shimmering out mid fall, re-appearing in a stationary position.
Shocker demon:
Composed of electrical energy, this demon was able to manifest in its energy
form whenever electrical power was utilised. Once cohered a shocker demon can
electrocute with a touch or fire bolts of electricity.
Piper Halliwell’s particle manipulation was able to discorporate a shocker
demon, sending it into retreat, but they can only be truly vanquished by a power
of three spell.
Vanquish we three Witches
cry!
One last shock and then you die
Sign Spell: A spell that was created by Phoebe Halliwell to resolve Piper Halliwell’s romantic dilemma. The spell was intended to provide Piper with signs that would point her towards her true love. Instead the spell led the sisters to the location of their kidnapped sister Prue, whom Piper obviously loved. The spell involved crushing some sort of herbs over the words to the spell and reciting them:
I
beseech all powers above,
Send
a sign to free my sisters’ heart,
One
that will lead her to her love
Though the sign spell overtly pointed to the whereabouts of Prue Halliwell the signs could also be interpreted as pointing towards Dan and Leo, Piper’s two loves. However it appears that once Prue was found the spell ceased to function, implying that the primary purpose of the spell was to locate Prue.
Silhouette Demon:
A demon that was part of Cole Turner’s shadow. It was an independent being,
observing Cole’s actions and relaying reports to the Triad. Once Cole betrayed
them the Silhouette demon abandoned him.
This demon seemed like an ordinary shadow, but once it choose to move it could
slither away at great speed, leaving Cole Turner suspiciously shadow less.
Smart Spell: A spell created by Phoebe Halliwell. This spell increased the intelligence of the person casting it and also allowed them to absorb knowledge through the touch of either hand. This allowed them to read books, newspapers, etc. instantaneously. The effects of the spell lasted for 24 hours, after which all the knowledge gained was forgotten. This is the incantation to cast the spell. Whilst saying it you must hold the written spell to your forehead:
|
|
Spirits
send the words from all across the land, |
Smith, Emilio: A murderer that was protected by two separate Guardian’s, at different times; both of whom were defeated by The Charmed Ones. It is presumed that he was sent to jail.
Smoking: A variant power used by Furies combining transmutation with teleportation. When teleporting out a Fury will disperse into smoke and then reappear from the same substance in a new location.
Sorcerer: Beings that are able to wield magicks. It appears that they do not have a single magickal talent, as Witches do, but they do possess the ability to perform magickal feats. Whether Sorcerers are human or demon remains to be seen.
Sorcerer,
The: A stock broking Sorcerer who used his magick to build a business
empire. He desired Brook, a woman who worked for him, but she loved another. To
keep Brooke and her love apart The Sorcerer cursed them, hoping this would
eventually force Brooke to return his affections. For more information on the
curse see: Lycanthropy Curse, The.
The Sorcerer possessed many abilities. His specific powers are not known but he
was able to move things with his mind, alter molecular structures, teleport
others away from him and teleport them back, and also control the computers in
his office with a gesture.
Henchman, who possessed some of his powers, served the Sorcerer. They were able
to teleport and also able to alter molecular structures to create crossbows and
crossbow bolts. It is most likely these henchmen were humans who had been
granted their powers by The Sorcerer, and he was able to vanquish them at will.
The Sorcerer was destroyed when The Charmed Ones helped Brooke and Christopher
break The Lycanthropy Curse, vanquished by their love.
Soul Switching Potion:
Paige Halliwell carelessly created this potion while studying magick. Though it
had several ingredients it was powdered toadstool that triggered a body
switching.
Once mixed one needed to throw some powdered toadstool into the pot, while
concentrating on the individual they wished to switch souls with. If successful
there is a brief loss of consciousness while the transfer occurs, your soul
moving into their body, and theirs entering your own.
When switching bodies a Witch’s abilities will not be transferred, but other
mystical powers, such as Zen discipline will remain with their native soul.
South Bay Social Services: A provider of community services to the San Franciscan area. Paige Matthews is employed there as an assistant.
Spells: An extension of the will of supernatural beings whereby they can affect the physical world. The Halliwell’s most often cast spells to vanquish demons, but a spell can be cast for any cause or reason. A spell most often requires the reciting of words, known as an incantation, and sometimes the mixing of herbs and other ingredients into a potion. Demons, warlocks, and any other manner of magickal beings are also able to cast spells.
Spirit Board: An Ouiji board that The Charmed Ones used to contact the spirit world. It seems to be attuned to receive supernatural messages; whether from beyond the grave, or from an unknowing Witch such as Max, via psychokinesis.
Spirit
Killer: A Darklighter with a specific goal: to destroy the lives of
future Whitelighters through telepathic suggestion and bad luck, goading them
into committing suicide. Spirit Killer’s displayed powers similar to that of a
normal Darklighters, but seemed to have the extra ability to curse others with
bad luck. To do this they sent black orbs into the bodies of the person they
wished to curse.
Spirit Killer’s
also often used their ability to manipulate local molecular structures to change
their clothing and impersonate others, and used their telepathy to plant
thoughts in the minds of their victims. When they did this they were able to
make the false thoughts sound as though they were really the thoughts of the
victim, and consequently get the victim to accept them as their own.
A Whitelighter can
destroy a Spirit Killer but it is unknown whether a Witch is able to vanquish
one.
Statler, Gabrielle: A Lord of War. He was disgraced by the Witch Brianna and consequently had to steal his abilities back once reincarnated, according to the honour code of the Lords. Gabrielle was a smart tactician and quite ruthless. He killed his own sister rather than let her be used to blackmail him. Gabrielle had a crystal sword, and had already stolen back some of his abilities. He was still lacking the power of a first-born Witch when the Charmed Ones vanquished him.
Statler,
Helena: The sister of Gabrielle. It is unknown whether Helena was a Lord
of War, or merely a human relative of a Lords reincarnated form. Helena
displayed no supernatural abilities and did not have a crystal sword, the weapon
of the Lords of War.
Helena helped
Gabrielle in his plans, but he killed her rather than be put in a tactically
inferior position.
Street Prophets: Supernatural humans who have the uncanny ability to predict future events, known as ‘magical seers’. They seem like homeless humans; crazy, dirty, and smelly; so most people ignore their predictions.
Strengthen A Warlock Side, Spell To: A spell in Latin that Brendon Rowe’s Warlock brother’s cast on him. The spell brought forth his Warlock nature and smothered his human side, turning him evil. He was able to break the spell and force his Warlock nature back down because of his feelings for Prue Halliwell.
Stretch The Imagination, To: Paige Halliwell cast this spell from the Book Of Shadows on Glenn Belland in the hopes it would better allow him to accept her existence as a Witch.
|
Let mind and body soar, |
|
The spells intent was for Glenn’s mind to be expanded, but instead his body gained the ability to stretch like rubber, in turn allowing him to believe the truth about witchcraft.
Strife: A Horseman of the Apocalypse. He was a demon with the ability to incite masses of people to commit crazed acts of violence. See also: Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, The.
Strobe Potion: A potion to create flashes of light and smoke, similar to a strobe. The Charmed Ones used it to disorient Warlocks and stop them from blinking.
Succubus:
A Witch that has renounced all human emotion and made a pact with darkness to
protect her from heartbreak becomes a Succubus, a kind of sexual predator. She
feeds on the testosterone of powerful men, who are helpless against her power.
The Succubus’s has the power to bewitch men, putting them completely under her
control, and making them believe that that they love her.
The only way to kill
a Succubus is by burning it. But to do this you must first attract it. To
attract a Succubus a Witch must sit in a male symbol, surrounded by candles, and
recite these words:
By
the forces of heaven and hell,
Draw
to us this woman foul,
Run
from her foul desire,
That
she may perish as a moth to fire
When Prue Halliwell
cast this spell she transformed herself into a man. It is not known whether this
is the true purpose of the spell. Prue only reverted to being a woman once the
Succubus was destroyed.
Phoebe Halliwell
thought that she may have been a Succubus, but she was simply psychically
connected to one. Why this happened is unknown.
Summon A Spirit: See: Séance.
Summoning Spell: A spell that the sisters used to summon Melinda Warren back from the dead to aid them. The spell worked by blood calling blood. The sisters cut themselves and placed their blood in Melinda’s locket. Once done they said the words:
Melinda
Warren,
Blood
of our blood,
Our
great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandmother,
We
summon thee
This caused the summoned to appear in a
flash of magickal lights. Once summoned the dead returned as a flesh and blood
being, and they possessed any magickal abilities they held while alive. Though
The Charmed Ones cast this spell specifically to return Melinda Warren from the
dead it is assumed it would work with any familial relation, as the spell worked
by the power of the family lines blood.
To release the summoned, and return them to the realm of the dead, the following
incantation needed to be performed:
Melinda
Warren,
Blood of our blood,
We release you
Super Speed: Movement far in excess of normal mortal levels. The Source and Rat Demons have both demonstrated super speed capabilities.
Susan: Friend to Carrie and a sister Witch, she was also a member of the triple crescent coven. Unlike Carrie she survived the rampage of the demon Sykes.
Sutter:
A greedy man whose cruelty resulted in the cursing of the Ghost Town into a time
loop. After arriving in the town Sutter and his men took control, killing the
Sheriff and anyone else who opposed them.
Sutter’s plan was to divert railway construction through the town, thereby
growing rich from the resulting property sales. To this end he killed Beau
Lightfeather, making him an example of what happened when Sutter was crossed.
With Prue Halliwell and Cole Turner’s intervention events were changed, Beau
was saved, and Sutter defeated, leaving him rotting in jail now that the Ghost
Town is free of the time loop.
Sykes:
Hoping to emulate the legendary demon Belthazor, Sykes copied him by posing as
an assistant district attorney and targeting Witches. If not for the
intervention of The Charmed Ones he would have slain all of the Witches in the
triple crescent coven, rather than just one of their number. Once Sykes targeted
a coven he did not rest until all of its members had been murdered. Thanks to a
self-sacrificing gesture on the part of Cole Turner, Sykes’ rampage was
stopped; an enraged Belthazor killing him with his own atheme.
Sykes’ preferred method for killing Witches was an atheme but like Belthazor
he was able to cast energy balls, was extremely strong and capable of
shimmering. Sykes also possessed a human form, but unlike Belthazor he was pure
demon and not a human/demon hybrid. When in demon form he was large and
muscular, with black skin and red facial markings.
Smart and tough, Sykes was extremely hard to dispatch; even capable of surviving
a full powered energy ball. Yet, like all high level demons, a potion utilising
a piece of his own flesh could vanquish him.
