Demon-Witches

* Macy Vaughn
* Abigael Jameson-Caine

**Demon-Witches** are a hybrid species of witches and demons. These hybrids are born with the magic of both parental species. These hybrids are very rare, as demons and witches are typically enemies. In addition to hereditary demon-witch hybrids, it is also possible for a witch or a mortal to become a demon-witch through the use of demon blood or cell transfusion.

## Overview

Due to the circumstances surrounding her resurrection, Macy Vaughn had demonic blood flowing through her veins which provided her with demonic powers. This made her a rare nonhereditary hybrid.

The first known hereditary hybrid of this breed shown was Abigael Jameson-Caine. She is the daughter of the demon, Alistair Caine, and witch, Francesca Jameson. Due to being a female, she was looked at as an abomination by her demonic family and was raised by her mother. She was saved by Macy in San Francisco from a group of demons.

## Powers and Abilities

Basic Powers
* **Spell Casting:** The power to cast spells and perform rituals.
* **Potion Making:** The power to brew magical potions.

Active Powers
* **Individual Powers:** Demon-Witches can develop a variety of powers from both their demonic and witch heritages.
* **Limited Shapeshifting:** The ability to alter one's physical form. Demon-Witches can shift between their human and demonic forms.
* **Demonic Translation:** Demon-Witches have the ability to read "Illevaihcam".

*Passive Powers*
* **Immortality:** The ability to live a potentially eternal life. It seems like nonhereditary hybrids don't have this power.
* **Immunity:** All demon-witches without exception are immune to the effects of pixie dust, the sirens' songs and to being frozen in time.

## Weaknesses

* **Death of Magic:** All demons without exception are tied to the Black Amber Tree. If the tree dies, all magic dies with it, along with them all.
* **Demonic Power Stripping Ritual:** Despite being immortal, their immortality could be stripped, along with all other demonic traits, effectively becoming regular witches, leaving them defenseless and killable. Despite not having any demonic powers nonhereditary hybrids are able to keep their demon esence because their demon nature is more like an infection.

## Trivia

* There was only one known demon-witch in the original series, the Source's Heir, whom Phoebe was pregnant with before he was transferred into the Seer's womb and then vanquished along with her (and over 30 other demons) through his own immense-yet-unstable power.
* It appears that, unlike demon-mortal hybrids, demon-witches are physically stable, and their demon side does not attack their witch side, possibly because both are magical. However, as with all magical powers, their psychological condition can affect the stability of their demonic side; Abigael Jameson-Caine was unable to control her demonic powers as a teenager due to the psychological abuse she suffered from her mother. The trauma lingered even years later, so after she regained her demon form, she lost control over it once again; only after confronting her mother was she able to make peace with herself and regain control.
* Due to Macy Vaughn donating her stem cells, that would technically make Kaela Danso a demon-witch, though it is yet to be seen.
	+ Joey Falco tweeted "*The plan was to explore Kaela's potential demon side in a Season 5*". Later adding in a reply that the writers hadn't even discussed what Kaela's powers were going to be when asked if they would be the same as Macy's.
