Tara: Made by
the alchemist Kierkan from his own blood,
Tara was magickally stronger than the average life essence and in possession of
the same alchemist's abilities Kierkan had. Cunning
and powerful, Tara had a lust for newfound life that caused it to
escape it's maker, possessing Piper Halliwell to trick The Charmed Ones into
vanquishing him.
Prue and Phoebe Halliwell attempted to use the dispossessing spell to remove
Tara from Piper, but it was ineffectual. Tara
was so strong only the Power Of Three was capable of forcing her from a host and
destroying her.
Tarkin: A
member of The Brotherhood Of The Thorn, he shared a particular closeness with
Belthazor, but was loyal to the Brotherhood first and the demon second.
Tarkin was a high level demon, strong, resistant to injury, and capable of
shimmering and casting energy balls; none of which saved him from being exploded
by Piper Halliwell’s particle acceleration.
Tarot Cards: Pictured cards often used as a prop during psychic readings. Ironically, in some Witches hands, tarot cards are capable of providing vague warnings about future events.
Tate,
Matthew: A Warlock from the 17th century with the ability to
copy any power that is used against him. In addition to this natural talent
Matthew has also shown the ability to blink. For a time he possessed the
abilities of Melinda Warren, and later Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell. Matthew
also displayed the ability to drop ten stories and land on his feet. It is not
clear whether this was a function of another power of an extension of his
control over the power of telekinesis.
Matthew was freed from his confinement in the locket by Prue and teamed with Rex
and Hannah in an attempt to obtain the powers of The Charmed Ones. A summoned
Melinda Warren and the sisters cursed him back into the locket.
Telekinesis:
The ability to move things with your mind. Telekinesis can be used to move
solid objects as well as some forms of energy, such as flame or energy balls.
Melinda was the first in the Warren line to possess this power, passing
it down to Brianna, Penelope Johnson (Grams), and Prue Halliwell, among others.
At first Witches channel this power through the eyes but, as it grows, they also
begin channeling it through their hands.
Other magickal beings possess telekinetic power, such as The Source and Lazarus
demons, activating the ability in different ways.
Telekinetic-Orbing:
Unique to Paige Matthews because of her mixed heritage as a half-Witch and
half-Whitelighter, this power is a synthesis of telekinesis and orbing. Instead
of physically moving through space an object will orb out and then back in to a
place of Paige’s choosing, instantaneously. At will Paige can also orb an
object out and then imbue it with telekinetic momentum as it orbs back in,
sending it flying.
Paige Matthews activates this power vocally. Should
she wish to move an object she 'calls' for it by speaking its name aloud, at
times even indicating an intended destination. For example crying
“crystals!” and “circle!” would orb the crystals out, and then back in
arranged in a circular pattern.
Telepathy: A
versatile ability whose base is the power to read and control minds. It can also
have other applications such as projection of thoughts, clouding of minds,
casting of illusions and mental communication between dimensions.
The Warlock Rex displayed this power, and was also able to use it to astral
project. The demons Litvack and Reynor
also displayed telepathic abilities, as do Whitelighters, Darklighters and The
Source.
Teleportation: The ability to move from place to place instantaneously. There are several variations of this power: Blinking, Flaming, Shimmering, Smoking and Raying.
Temporal
Echoes: Transparent apparitions similar to ghosts, temporal echoes are
the sights and sounds of beings that have been cursed into a time loop bleeding
across into out reality. Witches are able to detect temporal echoes but mortals
can rarely see or hear them.
When a temporal echo of Beau Lightfeather fell through Phoebe Halliwell the two
became psychically linked by their magick, with Phoebe experiencing any injuries
Beau received in the Ghost Town’s time loop. She was only restored, and the
link broken, when the time loop had ended.
Temporal Portal: Using a variant of her love spell potion to create portals through time, the Evil Enchantress was able to follow her Prince to the twenty-first century as well as return them to their proper time. Her potion required a lock of the Lady Julia’s hair, but its other ingredients are not known.
Temporal Stasis: See: particle manipulation.
Temporal Tunnel:
A vortex that was created by the Whitelighter Council on Halloween to cast The
Charmed Ones back in time to the 1600’s. It is most likely the elders only
possessed the power to do this on the sacred day.
Once the sisters had accomplished their task the vortex opened again, returning
them to their proper time.
Tempus: A Demon with the ability to alter time also known as The Devil’s Sorcerer. He works directly for The Source. He was able to set a time loop to help Rodriquez kill The Charmed Ones, and is also said to have the ability to reset time. He fled back to the demon dimension after The Charmed Ones defeated him.
The
Charmed Ones:
Before burning at the stake
Melinda Warren prophesized that each generation of Warren Witches would grow
stronger culminating in the arrival of The Charmed One’s. Three sisters that
would be the most powerful Witches the world had ever seen: Prue, Piper, and
Phoebe Halliwell. Each sister possesses their own abilities but their combined
might, the power of three, is where their real strength lies. Almost no demon or
Warlock can stand against it. While Witches normally have one magickal power,
the abilities of The Charmed Ones have grown, giving them several.
With Prue Halliwell’s death the Power Of Three was shattered. However hope for its
reconstitution was brought by the arrival of Piper and Phoebe’s half sister,
Paige.
The
Source: An ethereal entity of supreme supernatural evil and magickal
power. The Source has been hosted by many demons over the ages, moving to a new
host as the last is vanquished, and taking on new characteristics to add to
it’s own. As such each Source is different to the last while still retaining
the memories, powers and characteristics it has accumulated down the ages.
Each time The Source moves into a new host a ceremony must take place granting
them unrestricted access to the full powers of The Source, while at the same
time crowning them as putative ruler of demonkind. The coronation must be
conducted by a dark priest and requires that The Source be touching the ancient
and powerful demonic Grimoire.
The
Source I: The first host of the supremity of supernatural evil known as
The Source encountered by The Charmed Ones. This Source had been in power for
hundreds of years, disfiguring his face in his battle to host the ancient
entity.
Higher-level demons were able to communicate with The Source through swirling
balls of supernatural fire, and all demons were able to sense his glory, as a
reminder of his power. In turn The Source was able to sense and summon all of
his subjects, especially if they focused their concentration on locating him,
but few demons ever met this Source, and even fewer saw his disfigured face.
Using his ability to shapeshift The Source assumed many forms but his most
favoured was that of a hooded humanoid, with black space concealing his damaged
face. A flash of supernatural flame accompanied each shift in form.
The Source had the powers of pyrokinesis, telekinesis, adjusting,
reconstitution, flaming and possession; was able to phase, appearing as a
non-corporeal entity; cast flameballs and force blasts; could move at extremely
fast speeds; generate electrical fields; and turn back the path of time, as
Tempus can. The Source was also telepathic, able to read ‘souls’; project
and hear thoughts, even across dimensions; create mental illusions; and cloud
minds, subtly influencing them.
On the rare occasion that he was injured The Source gushed black blood, while
his very presence was enough to momentarily disrupt electrical systems and
lights.
The Source II:
Unable to overcome Cole Turner’s intrinsic love for Phoebe Halliwell this
incarnation of The Source was instead forced to integrate that love into it’s
being, using it as a font of strength to regain the throne of the underworld.
After being absorbed into Cole by the power of The Hollow the weakened spirit of
The Source only had subconscious control of it’s new body, but quickly gained
both strength and power to subsume Cole’s personality, though it was never
able to completely eradicate the humanity within it. Though it wore Cole
Turner’s mortal body The Source was recognisable by the flaming black eyes it
would sometimes display to demons to gain their obeisance.
As other Sources had before him this Source possessed a great array of powers;
flameballs; flaming; molecular control; telekinesis; shapeshifting; invulnerability,
with almost no magickally ability able to permanently harm him; and telepathy
capable of both reading and manipulating minds. But by far his most
useful ability was his shielding against the power of premonition. While his
evil side held strong Phoebe’s power was completely useless on him,
guaranteeing his true nature remained a secret from The Charmed Ones until his
coronation granted him access to his full powers as The Source.
The Source’s greatest ally was The Seer, though she closely guarded her true
agendas. As the new power in the underworld The Source brought about an
unprecedented alliance between different demonic races while also finally
eradicating the scourge of Vampires from the dimensions.
The Source Vanquishing Spell: Drawing upon the enormous power amassed by the Witches of the Warren line through the ages The Charmed Ones hoped to vanquish The Source. Their plan was to first trap him within the magick circle forcefield and then recite the spell while he was vulnerable.
Prudence, Patricia, Penelope,
Ashley, Helena, Laura and Grace,
Halliwell Witches stand
strong beside us,
Vanquish this evil from time and space
The spell vanquished The Source’s current physical form, but his evil and power had already been absorbed by The Hollow and were able to survive to be reborn within Cole Turner.
Thomas, Father:
A human Empath. His ability was channeled through his hands, and this was how he
was able to curse the demon Vinceres with his empathic ability. When the demon
went to kill him Father Thomas lay his hands on Vinceres and transferred the
empathic gift into a curse to halt the demons rampage.
Once his empathy was removed he could not cope with the loss, suffering a
nervous breakdown because of his inability to help others. He was then committed
to the Crest Hills Psychiatric Hospital until The Charmed Ones liberated him to
help them vanquish Vinceres.
Once this was done he returned to his church, confident in his ability to help
others, even without his supernatural gift.
Time Acceleration Spell: A spell that the Charmed Ones cast to accelerate time. It made many hours pass in seconds. A byproduct of this spell was that Tempus’ time loop was shattered. While time was accelerated for the world, it seemed to move at a normal pace in the locality of the Halliwells. The words to the spell were:
Winds
of time gather round,
Give
me wings to speed my way,
Rush
me on my journey forward,
Let
tomorrow be today
Time
Loops: A time loop is the repetition of a period of time, over and over,
ad infinitum. Loops can be localised to a particular place or group of people,
as with the loop that affected the Ghost Town, or can effect time totally. If a
time loop's effects are localised then the affected beings will experience events
in a parallel plane inhabiting the same physical, but different temporal, space
to that of our time/space continuum.
A loop can be caused in two separate ways; by deliberate action of a
supernatural being capable of manipulating time, such as Tempus or The Source;
or as a reaction to a grievous act of evil. In the second case the time loop
will continue until the grievous wrong that caused it has been rectified.

Training Academy:
A terrifying program dedicated to turning mortals into demons, by destroying
their humanity.
The demon Kelman struck bargains with humans in need, delivering them to the
Academy for training, in exchange for solving their problems. Once there their
humanity was literally beaten out of them, the fights staged in a ring for
demonic amusement.
During the training humans became more and more demonic, gaining marked
indentations on their left forearms. A Sixth mark signaled that a mortal had
become entirely demonic, but to gain it and become a demon a trainee must kill a
random innocent, a process called Graduation.
The Halliwell sisters vanquished Kelman, scaring away his demon underlings and
restoring the humans who had not yet become full demons.
Transformation: The ability to manipulate reality and transform organic and non-organic objects. For example turning a wedding planner into a pig, and Leo into a literal stick in mud. While under the influence of Dantalion’s evil Piper and Phoebe Halliwell possessed this ability.
Transmogrification: Changing shape or form, even into that of inanimate objects. The Warlock Eames held this power, but he had stolen it from a Witch in Kenya.
Triad, The:
Also known as the Infernal Council, the Triad was a group of three high-level
demons that direct some supernatural matters. They were quite high in the evil
hierarchy. When they became aware of the existence of The Charmed Ones they
began sending demons to destroy them, first the Dragon Warlock, and later the
demon Belthazor.
The members of the Triad appeared as human males, but some had blackened eyes.
Each had the ability to commune directly with The Source, the power to throw
energy balls, the ability to teleport, and the power to manifest athemes at
will. Though their membership was known to change, the Triad was only ever
comprised of three demons at a time.
Belthazor killed the members of the Triad after they discovered his love for
Phoebe Halliwell. New members have not taken their place.
Trigs:
Erstwhile friend of Belthazor and member of The Brotherhood Of The Thorn, Trigs
was vanquished by an atheme wielding Phoebe Halliwell while attempting to kill a
street prophet.
Trigs appeared as a human male and was able to shimmer and throw energy balls.
Triple Crescent: Symbolic cousin to the triquetra and an ancient Wiccan symbol.
Triple Crescent, Coven Of The: A group of San Franciscan Witches. Due to the intervention of The Charmed Ones they only lost one Witch to the demon Sykes. All members of this coven, that counted Witches Carrie and Susan among its number, wore a silver necklace with the symbol of the triple crescent.
Triquetra: The symbol of The Charmed Ones, it appears on the cover of the Book Of Shadows. Curiously there were also several Witches that possessed this symbol as a tattoo. One of these Witches was the original owner of Kit, who bears a Triquetra symbol on its collar.
Trolls: Tiny
supernatural creatures from the Enchanted Kingdom. Trolls battle with the
Fairies for control of the Kingdom, using their claws and speed. Though they
exist in a parallel dimension they are able to manifest in our world in the
“in betweens”, where they can be seen by the childlike and innocent.
Trolls also possess the ability to use magickal dust to turn humans in to
fairies.
See: Enchanted Kingdom.
Troxa:
A demon with the ability to turn invisible. Troxa was sent by The Triad to kill
The Charmed Ones as competition for Belthazor. Troxa possessed only one magickal
ability and appeared as a human male. He and Belthazor seemed to possess an
intense rivalry, stemming from an unknown history between the two.
Though the human eye could not see him, Troxa’s ectoplasmic biochemistry was
vulnerable to cold. Intense cold compromised his invisibility, making his
outline partially visible. As Troxa was unable to feel he could not tell when it
was cold, making him especially susceptible.
The Triad vanquished Troxa to prevent him revealing Belthazor’s identity when
he was caught in Prue Halliwell’s lightning trap.
Trudeau, Inspector
Andrew (Andy): A San Francisco police Inspector and one time love of Prue
Halliwell. After investigating the sisters for a year Andy finally discovered
their Wiccan secret, but found that he could not deal with the fact that Prue
was a Witch, and their romantic relationship ended.
Andy
remained a friend and ally to the Halliwells however and when Phoebe had a
premonition of his death he was unable to leave The Charmed Ones to handle the
demon alone. Rodriquez killed him when he saved Prue’s life.
Truth Spell, The: Whoever casts this spell, and whomever they come into contact with, will be bound to tell the truth for 24 hours. A function of the spell is that no one usually remembers what he or she has heard during this period. When Prue Halliwell cast the spell it was for personal gain. As a consequence she and her sisters retained the knowledge learnt while under its influence. The Spell was:
|
For
those who want the truth revealed, |
|
Tuatha:
A good Witch that turned evil and began using her powers against innocents. She
was very powerful, and had a great knowledge of magick. It isn’t clear what her special
Witch talent was, but she was able to transmute things by sprinkling a yellow
dust on them, and rip people’s hearts from their bodies. She also had a very
powerful magick wand.
A Chosen One was able
to imprison Tuatha for 200 years, from 1799 to 1999, until the Chosen One, Kyle,
was able to vanquish her for good. The Chosen One was the only person capable of
vanquishing Tuatha. No good Witches, including the Charmed Ones, were able to
destroy her.
Turn
Animals Into Men, Spell To: A spell that was in a cheesy Valentines Day
book of love spells called Bewitched, which was intended to transform
animals into men. Classmates of Phoebe Halliwell’s, Andrea, Brooke, and Tessa,
planned on casting the spell for fun, but Phoebe overheard them and corrected
the mistakes. Because they had her recitation of the spell on tape, they were
able to play it back at precisely the right moment and make the spell work.
The spell required
that the animals you wished to transform be gathered in a pentagram at the
strike of midnight. Those casting it must then hold hands, and recite the spell.
The incorrect words to the spell were:
From
strike of twelve count twenty-four,
That’s
how long the spell is for,
Turn
these gifts into a mate,
And
then my lonely heart abate
This spell would not have worked, even if a true Witch cast it, but Phoebe Halliwell’s corrections and recitations made the transformations successful. The correct words to the spell, as crafted by Phoebe, were:
From
strike of twelve count twenty-four,
That’s
how long the spell is for,
If
to abate my lonely heart,
Enchant
these gifts I thee impart
The spell changed
whichever animals were within the circle into men, but they retained animalistic
characteristics to their personalities. This spell lasted for twenty-four hours
only, after which time the animals reverted to their true form. However the
reversion began several hours before this, and small animal traits began to
appear in the transformed men.
Phoebe’s attempts
to turn the animal-men back into animals backfired and she cast a spell that
actually turned everyone at P3 into animals. This spell required a pinch of the
salt of life, and some other herbs. While mixing the herbs and salt these words
must be said:
Something
evil in our midst,
In
human form these spirits dwell,
Make
them animals sayeth the spell
To undo this last spell Phoebe cast another spell that undid magick enacted. It is unclear if this spell would reverse any magicks incanted, or was specific to the spell Phoebe had just cast. The words to the last spell that made everyone human were:
Undo
the magick acted here,
Reverse
the spell so all is clear
Turner, Cole:
Seemingly a passionate Assistant District Attorney, Cole Turner was actually
the human face of the demon Belthazor. Cole planned to use his human form to get
close to The Charmed Ones and kill them, before falling in love with Phoebe
Halliwell and turning to the side of good.
Born in 1885 to Benjamin Coleridge Turner and a female demon, Cole was raised as
a demon after his mother killed his father, forced to repress his demon side.
His love for Phoebe Halliwell reawakened his human side and Cole fought at the
side of The Charmed Ones, against his former demonic brethren, until his powers
as the demonic Belthazor were stripped from him.
As a full human Cole lost none of the fierce passion and temper he had as a
demon, nor was he any less protective of his love. To save Phoebe’s life Cole
hosted the ancient power of The Hollow, absorbing the power and evil of The
Source. Once inside of Cole The Source began to slowly subsume his personality.
By the time of Cole and Phoebe’s wedding The Source was in complete control
and no trace of Cole Turner remained.
For more information on Cole Turner’s demonic traits see: Belthazor. For
information on The Source see: The Source.
Tyler: A
nascent Firestarter. Tyler chose the freedom of life as a teenaged boy over the
chaos of the magickal world, asking Piper Halliwell to bind his powers after a
run in with Ludlow.
Paige Matthews found him a foster home near the Halliwell Manor should he ever
wish to unbind his abilities.
