**Patricia "Patty" Halliwell** was a witch of the Warren line of witches. She is the ex-wife of Victor Bennett and the mother of their three children: Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, who are also known as the Charmed Ones. In the midst of her failing marriage, however, she also had a forbidden affair with her Whitelighter, Sam Wilder, with whom she had a daughter named Paige Matthews, who replaced Prue in the legendary Power of Three. She was also the godmother to Penelope Anderson. Patty was tragically killed on February 28, 1978, by the Water Demon, whom she tried to vanquish at Camp Skylark. Even in death, however, she continued to watch over her daughters, and acted as a guardian family spirit who occasionally visited her daughters and provided them with comfort and good advice when they needed it.

As a descendant of Melinda Warren, Patty inherited the power of molecular immobilization, and was a powerful and exceptionally knowledgeable witch in her own right - she was responsible for writing numerous entries in the Book of Shadows.

## Powers and Abilities

***Basic Powers***

* **Spell Casting:** The ability to cast spells and perform rituals. Patty was particularly skilled in this fundamental ability, being able to invent spells to counter those of her mother's at the mere age of nine, though the rhyming was rather poor. She was also able to bless a ring that gave Nicholas immunity to even the Power of Three.
* **Potion Brewing:** The ability to brew potions.
* **Scrying:** The ability to locate a person or object by the use of a scrying crystal, a map, and sometimes other tools.
* **Mediumship:** The ability to see and commune with spirits of the dead.

***Active Powers***

* **Molecular Immobilization:** The ability to slow molecules down to the point that they appear to be frozen in time. This was Patty's primary power, which she channeled through her hands.

***Other Powers***

* **High Resistance:** As an upper-level witch, Patty is highly resistant to lethal powers such as fireballs.

***Spirit Powers***

* **Wisping:** As a ghost, Patty possessed the power to teleport through white lights. When teleporting, she was surrounded by swirling white orbs, until she vanished and appeared elsewhere.
* **Spirit Writing:** Patty wrote a message to Prue on the Barbas page of the Book of Shadows from the Ancestral Plane, and later, a note beneath a picture of her and Piper in a baby book.
* **Voice Echo:** As a spirit, Patty could project her voice from the spirit plane.
* **Invisibility:** As a spirit, Patty was naturally invisible to the naked eye.
* **Intangibility:** As a spirit, Patty was intangible and could pass through objects.

***Temporary Powers***

* **Premonition:** When Patty was pregnant with her third child, Phoebe Halliwell, she received visions from her unborn baby's power. Two such visions were when she saw her daughters from the future taking her present children from the manor, and another on the day of Phoebe's birth, when she saw herself hugging her three oldest daughters on Piper's wedding day.
* **Power Tapping:** Needing to perform a Power of Three spell to return the Charmed Ones to their own time, Patty tapped into her unborn child's magic to perform the spell with her daughters.
