Dominus Trinus

**Dominus Trinus**is a spell located at the front of the Halliwell Book of Shadows that was specifically created to unbind the powers of the Charmed Ones.

In March of 2015, two demons used a power that altered the spell. The end of the spell was reworded so Pip Muniz-Halliwell could receive his powers, in order for Juno to be freed from his imprisonment.

## History

### Unbinding the Charmed Ones' Powers

In 1998, a year and seven months after the death of their grandmother, Prudence, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell were reunited in their family house, Halliwell Manor. When Phoebe returned from New York, she and Piper played around with a spirit board that belonged to their mother Patty.

Phoebe was known for pushing the *pointer*, but on that night, the pointer moved on its own and spelled out *ATTIC*. Prudence believed it was just Phoebe doing it, but Piper had seen the pointer move by itself. Phoebe later went to the attic and the door magically opened after being sealed off for years. As she entered the attic, a light shone upon an old trunk. She opened the trunk and found the Book of Shadows.

When she opened the book, she read out this incantation, which caused a blue light to shine from the chandelier and unbound the powers of the Charmed Ones, as well as their collective power, the Power of Three.

### Pip Muniz-Halliwell receives his Powers

On March 5, 2015, Pip Muniz-Halliwell left New York on a quest to reunite with his mother in San Francisco. He arrived on the doorstep of Halliwell Manor and was given entry by his aunt Piper. Leo Wyatt comes downstairs, asking who was at the door, and Piper introduces Leo to his nephew. Piper calls her sister, Phoebe Halliwell, and tells her she needs to get over to the Manor. It isn't long for Phoebe to arrive and ask who the teenager was. Pip greets his mother, who is shocked beyond words, with a hug. Phoebe is hit with a premonition of the Dominus Trinus page in the Book of Shadows and some creature opening its eyes (later revealed to be Juno awakening from his imprisonment).

Pip goes to call his father and let him know that he arrived safely. Meanwhile, Piper, Leo and Phoebe debate over the premonition and telling Pip about magic. They soon sneak off and take Piper and Leo's children to Magic School, through the portal in the basement. When Pip's call ends, he looks for mother, aunt and uncle but can't find them anywhere. Upon searching the Manor, Pip finds the attic where two demons, Dreyl and Heida, are emitting a green light from their hands and onto a large green book. Pip confronts them but they are not scared. Dreyl uses his power of Aerokinesis to open the Book of Shadows while Heida shimmers out and back in behind Pip. She takes him hostage with an athame to his throat. They force Pip to read the Dominus Trinus spell from the book, which has been altered for the perspective of a single witch.

Pip finishes the chant and an earthquake, so large that the entire city of San Francisco as well as the demonic Underworld are both affected, occurs. Piper, Phoebe and Leo have returned from Magic School and are searching for Pip. They head for the stairs in the foyer but the earthquake begins. Leo pulls Piper and Phoebe under the dining room entry-frame and the three of them watch as a red light shines from the chandelier (unlike the blue light for the Charmed Ones in 1998 *and* 2001), indicating that Pip had received his powers.

## Halliwell Book of Shadows

Dominus Trinus
Hear now the words
of the witches,
The secrets we hid
in the night.
The oldest of Gods
are invoked here.
The great work of
Magic is sought.
In this night
and in this hour,
I call upon the
Ancient Power.
Bring your powers
to we sisters three!
We want the power!
Give us the power!

**Dominus Unus** (Altered Version)

Hear now the words
of the witches,
The secrets we hid
in the night.
The oldest of Gods
are invoked here.
The great work of
Magic is sought.
In this night
and in this hour,
I call upon the
Ancient Power.
Bring your powers to me!
I want the power!
Give me the power!

## Notes and Trivia

* Dominus (pronounced Dom-e-noose) is Latin for "Master", Trinus (pronounced Tre-noose) is Latin for "Triple", "Three". The title refers to the *three masters*; the three Charmed Ones.
	+ Dominus (pronounced Dom-e-noose) is Latin for "Master", Unus (pronounced U-nus) is Latin for "alone, a single/sole", "one set of (denoting entity)", "only (pl.)" and "some, some one". The title refers to the *one master*; the Blessed One (soon becoming the Blessed One*s* in 1x02).
* Seeing as Penny was the one who bound the sisters' powers, she may have created this spell to unbind them in case they ever were united after her death.
* A scan of this page was included in the official Charmed Magazine.
* The first eight lines of the Dominus Trinus are taken from the Witches' Creed by the Wiccan High Priestess Doreen Valiente. In *Charmed* they used the first two lines of the first verse and the last two of the ninth verse, changing "wrought" with "sought".
