**The Bowl of Unity**, or simply **the Unity Bowl**, is an ancient magical artifact created thousands of years ago by the original nine clans of magic (Pixies, Loveland Frogs, Mermen, Leprechauns, Elves, Gremlins, Hobgoblins, Lamias and Trolls) when the Charmed Ones were first created. Presumably after being broken into two pieces, it carried a curse that killed any human who disturbed it. In 2022, it was placed within the Tomb of Chaos by Mel and Maggie Vera to keep it out of the hands of the Unseen. However, the group was able to create a new bowl after stealing the original Vera Book of Shadows.

## Overview

The bowl is made of stone with writings of ancient Persian and a map of Northern Iran in the center. Any human who disturbs it would be cursed and eventually killed, but if drunken from the bowl, the water would undo any curse, supposedly including the one of a Necromancer. The Lost One could be freed or unbound by the Bowl of Unity. However, this required a great sacrifice - while also empowering the bowl in the process.

Mel translated some of the inscription: "Should this bowl be disturbed by human hands, death will be the outcome. Bonded by blood, bone and hair, they unleashed the greatest power."

## History

### Pre-series

Ten thousand years ago, the Bowl of Unity was created by the original nine clans of magic (elves, trolls, pixies, mermen, hobgoblins, Loveland frogs, leprechauns, gremlins, and lamias), who came together to fight an ancient enemy. Each creature poured its powers into the bowl to forge an unprecedented ultimate power that would be able to defeat it. An unknown time later, the bowl was broken into two pieces to be keep separated.

### Throughout the Series

In "*Cats and Camels and Elephants, oh my…*", Mel Vera and Jordan Chase found a piece of the bowl in Ray Vera's storage unit. Mel used the Tongue of Babel to translate the words and discovered the location of a resurrection ritual. Ray was cursed by the bowl, but Jordan managed to keep his condition stable by healing him every twenty-four hours.

In "*Unveiled*", Maggie Vera and Harry Greenwood try to locate the second half of the bowl. Though they haven't managed to find it, they did track its last known location to the shop of a Loveland frog. On the shop owner's list, Harry and Maggie find several names written in blood. Upon finding the listing for the bowl as being purchased by "DBV", Harry was shocked when his powers of Necromancy emit over the initials, realizing the last buyer was dead. Using his power of enter the Veil, Harry found that the initials belonged to Dexter Vaughn, Macy Vaughn and Maggie's father. He had tried to reassemble the bowl in order to break the Necromancer's curse that kept Macy and Marisol Vera apart, but died before he could.

In "*Truth or Cares*", while outside of the Veil, Dexter began to look around the Vera Manor for the second half of the bowl as he had been told that it lay "beneath the flower bed." He later realized that this actually was referring to Maggie, whose full name 'Margarita' means "daisy", and found the second half beneath her bed. By reuniting it with its other half and breaking the curse on it, they were able to cure Ray of his curse. Jordan then attempted to smash the bowl to pieces again, but it released a wave of energy that moved through the manor into the attic and conjured up new pages inside the Veras' original Book of Shadows.

In "*Hashing It Out*", using a marble stolen from a witch that had gone through Witchness Protection, the Unseen infiltrated the Command Center in search of the bowl. Mel wandered upon the bowl at the manor, surprised that it was still intact as Jordan had smashed it the previous night. Later, Mel and Maggie broke the bowl into pieces again to protect it with Mel taking half and Maggie taking half, so that the bowl could not reassemble itself. After defeating the Unseen, Mel and Maggie sent it into the Tomb of Chaos to keep it out of the wrong hands. However, the Unseen had stolen the Book of Shadows to their advantage.

In "*Divine Secrets of the O.G. Sisterhood*", it was revealed that the unprecedented ultimate power created from the clans' collective magic was the Power of Three itself, and that after a trio of witches (Ishta, Inara, and Ishani) drank from the bowl, they became the first original Charmed Ones, and used the Power of Three to defeat the first Conqueror (the enemy whom the clans had joined together to fight against). After using the Book of Shadows to create a new Unity Bowl, the Unseen made the ultimate sacrifice to resurrect Inara. By drinking from the bowl, Inara reclaimed the Power of Three, and then smashed the bowl to pieces, enacting a powerful spell that transformed all humans into trees and plants while magical beings lost their memories and fell under her control.

In "*The End Is Never The End*", after the Vera-Danso Charmed Ones sent a video tape back in time to warn their past selves, they managed to steal back the second bowl and the Book of Shadows, but that didn't stop Inara from enacting another plan.

## Trivia

* The Unity Bowl is related to the Pink Moon, though the exact connection between the two was never made clear.
* Just like the Stone Tablet, the Bowl of Unity was broken into two pieces.
* It's currently unknown how the bowl was able to conjure new pages into the Vera's original Book of Shadows in *Truth or Cares* when Jordan Chase attempted to smash it again. The connection between the Unity Bowl and the Vera family's magical tome is unclear. Though, it is possible that the wave was released as part of an enchantment by Inara as she was connected somehow to the bowl, which would explain how the Unseen knew to steal the book and about the added pages.
* In the comics based on the original series, there was the Phosphorus Cauldron, a powerful artifact that was also used to gather magic from all kinds of magical beings, among which a mermaid, a leprechaun and a fairy were also announced.
