Witches are a magical users in the
television series, Charmed and its 2018 reboot series. They are good users of magic who use their powers to help people. However, when a witch turns bad by using magic for personal gain, they become a warlock, who steal magic from other witches. 
Piper Halliwell, Paige Matthews and Phoebe Halliwell were The Charmed Ones when they were reconstituted. 
== History ==
The origin of witchcraft dates back to the beginning of the Earth itself. Since then, witches have existed for untold centuries, passing down their knowledge and skills through generations in family lineages. Contrary to popular belief, witches do not receive their powers from demons, nor do they worship the Devil. Instead, witches use their powers to hunt and vanquish demons in order to protect the innocent and to make the world a safer place. The term "witch" is not exclusive to females, and is extended to males as well.
Every bloodline of witches originates from Neena, also known as the first witch.
== Powers and abilities ==
Scrying: Witches can find a certain individual or item through use of a map and a scrying crystal. 
Spell Casting: Witches are able to cast or create their own spells.
Potioncraft: Witches can create potions with spells and magical ingredients. 
Mediumship: Witches have the natural ability to communicate with or see spirits. They usually can summon spirits through a someone spell. 
The Power of Three (limited to the Charmed Ones): The Power of Three is the collective power of The Charmed Ones, three witches who are the most powerful forces for good in all the Land, making them more powerful together by combining their powers of telekinesis, molecular immobilization, and power of premonitions. It is used to enhance spells, potions and active powers. However, if there is imbalance between the three witches, the powers will deter rendering the Power of Three powerless. The power is usually restored if all three members reconcile the bond before it is too late. This was the case with Prue, Piper, and Phoebe when a demon caused the sisters to grow angry with each other because of Cole Turner's influence. Chris used this to his advantage against the Stillman sisters', three blonde witches who stole the sisters' identity and powers by causing the sisters to have a falling out to restore his mother and aunts' bond. 
High Resistance: Witches are able to resist any attacks by magic, weapon, or power of other beings by surviving any attacks that would prove lethal to a normal human. They can also react fairly quickly. 
Active Powers: in addition to spells and magic, witches have their own individual power. Prue has telekinesis, Piper has molecular combustion and molecular Immobilization and Phoebe has foresight and telepathy.
