Dimensions

**Dimensions** or **Realities** are self-contained universes and the collection of all dimensions constitute the multiverse. The ability to travel between dimensions is typically only possible through certain powers such as teleportation, portaling, and with the use of spells and/or potions.

## Concept

The nature, size and general overview of a dimension vary. While some dimensions, such as the Earth, are enormous and home to a variety of magical and mundane species, other dimensions are far more compressed.

Some dimensions can be nightmarish and hostile to human life, such as the Underworld and Tartarus.

It is also possible for pocket dimensions to be created by magic such as the Enchanted Mirror World and can also be made to resemble locations on Earth. This type was particularly favored by the Elders.

## Types of Dimensions

### Charmed Universe

* Note: This alternate dimension/reality/universe is the universe of the rebooted Charmed series.

This universe consists of many sets of Charmed Ones across the generations. The first Charmed Ones from this world were Ishta, Inara and Ishani during the 8th Millenium B.C. Since then, the Charmed Ones existed in every era in times of great need, only to suffer the destruction of their sisterhood. The current Charmed Ones of this world, as of 2022, are Melanie Vera, Michaela Danso, and Margarita Vera. Harry Greenwood, a Whitelighter from this world, became their mentor.

#### Astral Plane

*Main article: Astral Plane*
The astral plane is a realm of existence that resides in the spiritual world. Ghosts pass through this dimension but cannot interact with it. The Sentinel is the only known resident. Witches can also use the Sumerian Shroud to trap opponents in the astral plane for thirty breaths.

#### Tartarus

*Main article: Tartarus*
Tartarus is a mystical dimension that serves as a prison for various magical creatures. It is guarded by a dragon that commands scorpions whose stings make his prisoners experience their worst and most painful memories.

#### Pocket Dimensions

Pocket Dimensions are exterior dimensions in any place of the world that simulates the real one. It takes an immense amount of power in order to create pocket dimensions, and so far only an Elder has been able to do so. Additionally, the power can be accessed through the use of certain spells.

##### Enchanted Mirror World

*Main article: Enchanted Mirror World*
This dimension is contained within an enchanted mirror, very likely created by Marisol Vera. It's used to keep the Prism of Souls safe, due to its dangerous ability to absorb the powers of her daughters.

##### The Elders' White Spaces

Charity Callahan brought Mel Vera to the first such room to discuss a plan for the introduction into the Sarcana. Later, Macy Vaughn was in this place when she first met Priyanka Bari.

The second pocket dimension in which the final clash of the Vera-Vaughn Charmed Ones and Hunter Caine took place. Most likely it was created by Devorah Silver and destroyed after her death.

#### The Tomb of Chaos

*Main article: The Tomb of Chaos*
The Tomb of Chaos is a prison dimension created by the Perfecti more than twenty-thousand years ago.

#### The Underworld

*Main article: The Underworld*
The Underworld is a realm of dark magic inhabited by demons and where they can regroup to plot to attack witches.

#### The Veil

*Main article: The Veil*
The Veil is a plane of existence where the dead with unfinished business reside.

### Infinite Home Video

*Main article: Infinite Home Video*
Infinite Home Video is a location on the spiritual plane. It was created by a Charmed One with incredible powers of premonition from an alternate reality, who created the place in hopes of helping the other Charmed Ones find answers regarding the Lost One. Diana, a Whitelighter from the other universe, was sent and trapped there for 15 years.

### Other Charmed Universe

* Note: This alternate dimension/reality/universe is the universe of the original Charmed series.

This alternate universe consists of another set of Charmed Ones. Diana claimed that Infinite Home Video was created by a Charmed One from this universe. Mel, Maggie Vera and Kaela Danso found a door with the triquetra for them had materialized in Infinite Home Video and walked through to find themselves at a mysteriously familiar home in this universe. While they knocked on the door, nobody answered, but Kaela turned the handle to find that the door was open. The three of them enter the home, but what becomes of this remains unknown.

Mysteriously familiar home......and the door closing with a nostalgic gesture.
## Trivia

* The "Charmed Universe", the world which the Vera-Vaughn-Danso Charmed Ones reside, has links to real life such as:
	+ Former President Donald Trump.
	+ Feminist ideals like Meghan Markle, Gwyneth Paltrow and Mary Anning.
	+ The existence of Alcatraz, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and the BBC.
		- Similarly, in the original series, there were regularly references to real life persons, places, and events. Thus, it is known that the "Other Charmed Universe" also has links to real life.
* In the original series, dimensions were known as "planes of existence", the number of which was eleven. Time between these planes often flowed differently from other planes, particularly in comparison to the Material Plane.
* In the original, it was possible to deny entry to a particular plane unless one possessed a very specific power. This was a major plot point, as demons and warlocks tried to steal the Whitelighters' power of Orbing in order to infiltrate the Heavens.
* In the reboot, of all the dimensions mentioned, only the Underworld was never shown. In "*Keep Calm and Harry On*", Mel once mentioned Tartarus as "the Alcatraz of the underworld." However, it is not entirely clear whether she meant the real dungeon or just voiced the fact that Harry and Hunter fell down somewhere.

* According to Joey Falco, if they had a chance to do a Season 5 of Charmed, they would like to introduce a third additional dimension, besides the dimensions of the reboot and the original Charmed series, the Vera-Danso and the Halliwell-Matthews sisterhoods, where the Charmed Ones of this universe would be males. This would represent the number 3 once again, as there would be three sets of three Charmed Ones.
	+ The Halliwell-Matthews Charmed Ones were all blood related to each other and the only Charmed Ones in their universe and their origin was derivative of their ancestor, Melinda Warren. The Vera-Vaughn-Danso Charmed Ones were not the first in their universe and they were not always related by blood and their origin was set forth by the original nine clans of magic. It is unknown what the connection between the three male Charmed Ones would be, as the only known difference is that they would be male.
	+ They could be considered as a counterpart to the Rowe Coven, three warlock brothers destined to become the evil Power of Three in the world of the original series. However, that's not accurate enough, as they haven't been described as dark beings or rivals to the Charmed Ones. However, it has been stated, that through them, the writers would pass their message, as to why men should not be trusted with power.
