## Magical Notes

### Spells

#### *Dominus Trinus*

This spell was altered by a demon and then invoked the powers of Pip Muniz-Halliwell and made him *blessed*. Pip read the spell after he found two demons in the attic and was forced by one of the demons (to recite it) or the demon would kill him.

*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.*
#### *To Summon the Dead*

This spell was cast by the Charmed Ones to summon the spirit of Prudence Halliwell from the afterlife.

**P**lace five candles in a loose circle on the
floor, light the candles and then **C**hant:
***H**ear these words*
*hear our cry*
***S**pirit from the*
*Other Side*
***C**ome to us who*
*call you near.*
***C**ome to us*
*and settle here.*
***N**ow so cross*
*the **G**reat **D**ivide.*
#### *Soul Swapping Spell*

This spell (with a requirement of several different colored candles in a semi-circle around the ones being cast on) would swap the souls of a mother and her child, and they would then be able to inhabit each other's bodies (and speak in their voice.) Requiring the Power of Three, Prudence Halliwell had to be summoned because Phoebe was a participant of the soul spell; her soul would be swapped with Pip's so he could reveal what the two demons had talked about.

*What's hers is his,*
*what's his is hers.*
*From parent to child,*
*and child to parent.*
*Let their souls cross the line.*
*In the Power of Three*
*we now decree*
*so their gifts can be offered for share,*
*now switch their souls through the air*.
#### *Soul Swapping Reversal Spell*

*What's his is hers,*
*what's hers is his.*
*From child to parent,*
*and parent to child.*
*Let their souls cross the line.*
*In the Power of Three*
*we now decree*
*so their gifts can be offered for share,*
*now switch their souls through the air*.
#### *To Induce Slumber*

This spell was one in the Grimoire, which the demon Juno used to put Pip and the Halliwell sisters (minus Prue) to sleep.

*Quod Expergiscimini*
*Solet Sopor Occupare Fati*
#### *Translated Version*

*What is awake*
*Deep sleep is fate*
#### *To Allow Good to Protect the Grimoire*

This spell was created by Pip Muniz-Halliwell, when he found the Grimoire in Juno's cave (after vanquishing the demon).

*In the hands of evil no more,*
*good shall hold you forevermore.*
### Potions

#### *Sleeping Potion*

The demon Juno used it to put Pip and the Halliwell sisters (except Prue) to sleep, and with the accompaniment of a spell. Two containers with a purple liquid were also seen in Juno's cave, these containers were smashed by Pip so the affected bodies would waken. The potion can presumably be found in the Grimoire, though no entry page was seen.

### Magical Beings

#### *Pip Muniz-Halliwell*

The son of Phoebe Halliwell and Clay Muniz, arrived in San Francisco to reunite with his mother. However, he was forced into receiving his powers by two demons and that caused the demon Juno to be released from his imprisonment. Pip ended up swapping bodies with his mother (and not long after, absorbed the souls of his mother, aunts and deceased Warren witches) to vanquish Juno.

#### *Juno*

A feared demon of centuries past, who had wrought destruction and death for ages. He was wicked powerful and was encased into a impenetrable shell by the Source of All Evil himself. It was hesitantly revealed by Leo Wyatt that Juno was the brother of the demon Zankou. Juno was vanquished by Pip Muniz-Halliwell.

#### *Heida and Dreyl*

Two lower-level demons who worked for Juno. Dreyl altered the Dominus Trinus spell in the Halliwell Book of Shadows, while Heida threatened Pip's life if he didn't say the spell. Heida was vanquished by Piper Halliwell using her Molecular Combustion. Dreyl was vanquished Pip using Paige Matthews' Telekinetic Orbing, to send Dreyl's own fireball back at him.
